While attending a dog race at Norfolk, Virginia, George Evans was inspired to build a new bicycle and name it the Whippet Mr. Evans, who at that time was sales representative for the Shelby Cycle Co., took up the matter with Clyde Brokaw, Vice-President and Sales Man- ager. With the cooperation of the entire organization the new bicycle was created, the color scheme being fawn blue with White trimming. The name Whippet was originally used on a Shelby bicycle in 1928, and the following year the school adopted the name WHIPPET for the football team. Mr. John Seltzer, through the cooperation of the Shelby Cycle, loaned a number of these bicycles for train- ing purposes and sold the boys Whippets at the original factory cost. Along with the WHIPPET we also cele- brate the 25th anniversary of the W. W. Skiles Athletic Field. Immediately following the close of the football season of 1927 Mr. R. I. Lewis, then Superintendent of Schools, called together representatives of a number of Shelby civic organizations. From these organizations an athletic field committee was composed. It was the duty of this com- mittee to devise ways of financing the propo- sition and to guide the construction of an ath- letic plant. The land was generously donated by the Ohio Seamless Tube -Company. Then there arose a generous and public spirited woman, E. Dora Skiles, who donated 55,000 to this worthy cause in the name of her husband, Congressman W. W. Skiles. Mr. Skiles had been a member of the Board of -Education for more than twenty years and an influential and helpful citizen for many, many years-so it was fitting that this field be named for him. On September 29, 1929, the field was open- ed to the public and formally dedicated with impressive ceremonies consisting of a parade by the members of the high school and field committees led by the Shelby High School Band. Mrs. Skiles formally presented the field to the boys and girls of the school, both present and future. Mayor E. S. Hassler ac- cepted in the name of the whole community. The beautiful American flag, the gift of the Daughters of America, was raised while the national anthem was played by the high school band. The plant consists of a wonderful playing field, a practice field and running track. It has a seating capacity of 4500. The entire cost of this plant was 516,000 This gift was one of which all who attend Shelby should be proud, and in commemoration of the anniver- sary of its presentation and the adoption of the Whippet as our school emblem, we are, in the anniversary edition of the Scarlet 'S', presenting the Whippet on his way through Shelby High.

Mr. Lawrence Swackhammer, commonly referred to as Swack , has spent many years here in Shelby as coach, athletic director, and industrial arts instructor. In all these activities he has proven himself to be a wise friend and counselor to the many boys who have been under his supervision year after year. He has never hesitated to an- swer their many questions or show them how something should be done. His winning smile and personality have always been an inspiration to the many students who have known him as friend, teacher, and Shelby's Alan Ladd. Each and every one of the seniors takes pride in bestowing the honor of dedicating this 1954 edition of the yearbook to Larry Swackhammer. .sl 2. N., A afi- WNM N.-HM NJ' BYRON H. CARMEAN, A. B., M. A. Superintendent of Schools PLAN FDR FUTURE STUDENTS ' For the past eight years Mr. Carmean has looked ahead and calculated school room needs for the anti- cipated enrollments that have been coming to the Shelby Schools during the past few years. Realizing that the buildings were not large enough and not satisfactory to house boys and girls in the elemen- tary grades, he planned with the members of the board to provide suitable schools for the city. Dur- ing that time three large elementary buildings have been erected, an addition was built for the high school, and a large gym attached to the new -Central School. All this has required patience, determina- tion, and foresight. Mr. Carmean has shown that he is willing to do all these additional duties so that the T most adequate schools can be obtained. Shelby is in- MRS- SUSQN IEIRKENDALL deed fortunate to have a superintendent like Mr. ec're ary in the Superintendenfs Office Carmean to accomplish such an outstanding job. J. E.

The Junior Class Executive Committee is composed of the three class officers, the ad- visor, and two elected members from each of the junior homerooms. They have many and varied responsibilitiesg among these are: sell- ing programs at the basketball games, pre- paring advertising and selling tickets for the junior class play, and planning the annual Junior-Senior Prom held in May of every year. The committee also planned a junior class dance held in the early part of the school year. This was open to all high school stu- dents. Larry McFadden's band furnished the music and everyone seemed to have an en- joyable evening.

During the next two years the class lost four members until at the present time they number one hundred two. They began their high school careers as energetic and lively people, those who were willing to accomplish things for themselves and their school.

A The present Sophomore Class of Shelby High anticipates being the largest class in Shelby's history to be considered for gradua- tion. With 154 members at the present time the group indeed has a challenge ahead and certainly will dwarf all other classes in size. However they will not hold that position for many months as the seventh, eighth, and ninth are right behind them with an even greater number of students. The Sophomore Class is the first year in high school life that the class is permitted to elect officers. This year the members chose a capable student to direct the activi- ties of the 154 pupils. He was James Murtha. Selected to Work with him on the executive Qs group were Sally Query, as vice-president and Sara Seaman, as Secretary-treasurer. Miss Marie Hughes was named to serve as faculty advisor. With a class as large as this one, Shelby certainly can look forward to many pupils participating in athletics, dramatics, musical groups, and scholastic achievement. This will be just the beginning as the classes after the 10th graders are large. An outstanding event in the lives of the Sophomores was the Sophomore Class Party held in April. This always is an interesting affair and marked as the first major social activities for the ensuing two years. 4 42 I ' unc!

This group, composed of representatives from each homeroom and officers of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, hold some of the most responsible posi- tions in the school. Among the first of many jobs is the supervision of the school elections and planning of the school calendar. The programs planned by the Student Council dur- ing the school year are varied and interesting. This year they included: Larry Tetzloff's thrilling stories of ani- mals of Africa, Kay Graham and Jay Morris with their songs of Old Scotland, Val Lauder telling What I Found Out About You , or how-teen-agers can succeed in their chosen vocations, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schmidt's athletic feats and tips on health, James Welty's fascin- ating Fun on the Keyboard , the land of make-believe of Grace Keene, and Abraham Lincoln returned to life by Kirk Bennett in The Man Who Knew Lincoln. These programs and other expenses are met by the sale of football programs and advertisements for these programs. Officers of the Student Council are: David Metzger, president, Elinor Spangler, vice-president, Dorothy Crosby, secretary, and Duane Emerson, treasurer. Wanna fight? Mike, the lion, is ready to take on all Whippets or any others. Stand on your head, your arm . . . Otto Schmidt says it is good for you.

Camp Perry is an old German prison camp reconstructed for use as a proving ground. It is a large place that could accomodate over 3,000 persons of which Boys' State was only a part. There were over 900 boys attending Boys' State last summer. The boys lived in huts that were suitable to house four boys, there were twelve huts in a row, two rows to a city, five cities to a county, and four coun- ties in the state. Buckeye Boys' Staters from Shelby held the following offices: Bruce Archdeacon, Police chief of Herbert City, Don Bucknam, president of Gardner City council, Wincel Ingram, police chief of White City, Phil Kel- ler, representative to the. House of Repre- sentatives from McQuigg County, Dick Reed, policeman from Coffey City, and Larry Mc- Fadden, city solicitor from Stone City. Highlight of this years' Boys' State was the visit of the Governor of Ohio, the Honorable Frank J. Lausche. Over 600 high school juniors were present at the annual session of the Buckeye Girls, State which was held the Week of June 19, 1953, on the campus of Capital University, Columbus, Ohio. These girls were sent to Columbus by the American Legion Auxiliary and various civic-minded groups for the pur- pose of teaching them, by active participation, how their city, county, and state governments operate. The delegates from Shelby High were sponsored by the local Legion Auxiliary and the Business and Professional Women's Club. Left to Right: Patty Wilson, Faye Ebersole Beverly Myers Beverly Coleman Shir ley Posekany, Karen Haspeslagh and Miss Kuhn Librarian Agoloeb rea Approximately 36,000 students visited the Shelby School Library during the school year 1952-1953, according to the report of the librarian, Miss Luella Kuhn. Over 200 visited the library daily and the peak number for the year was 333. The Shelby library has approximately 9000 books with the number of fiction books top- ping the non-fiction by 700. There are over 700 magazines and pamphlets in the library available to the students who desire to read current articles as well as do some research problem. During the year 1952-1953 over 250 books were purchased by the librarian to add to the number of volumes in the library. Another bit of interest taken from the year- ly report of the librarian was the amount of money paid as fines for keeping books too long. Shelby students paid 3594.94 in fines for doing this. Miss Kuhn has six assistants who help her during the school day. One of these is on duty during each period. emficea QV- 0l lfIfL86! dy mn?

Our personal thanks, girls, for a job well, though quietly, done. One who happens to be near the cafeteria around noontime will rarely see our three cooks and their high school assistants remain- ing in the same place long enough for a pic- ture to be taken. They are truly among the busiest workers in Shelby High and also de- serve our recognition. Second Row: Mrs, Stella Fisher, Mrs. Grace Holling- er, Mrs, Stella Kindinger.

To one who happens to enter the attend- ance office during the first period, the scene pictured above is certainly a familiar one. Mr. Yohn and his four assistants spend two hours every day in checking on absentees and preparing the familiar absence reports, which are given to each homeroom teacher. Shelby's capable bus drivers have a more difficult job than many realize. They drive many miles each day in all kinds of weather, and also have the responsibility for the safety of approximately fifty pupils and the prob- lems of maintaining order. We hope they will receive the appreciation they deserve.

Shelby has been a very successful foot- ball community in the past due to the super- ior coaching staff, the enthusiasm of the fans and student body, the backing of the cheer- leaders and band. And above all the will of the team members to get out and play foot- ball. Mr. Wilkins started this season by remind- ing the seniors of his predictions when they 1928 lm Q5 ,am ago were in Junior High. At that time he stated that with the proper attitude and determina- tion they could have one of the greatest sea- sons in Shelby history. One of the most exciting games of the 1953 season was played at Bellevue. Shelby was trailing 10-7 with three minutes remaining in the game. At this point the Whippets executed a most spectacular play when the quarterback, Emerson, handed the ball to the right half back, Adkins, on a double reverse. Bellevue didn't know what had happened un- til the score had been recorded. First Row: Heitzman, J , Seaton, Winans, Valk, Waffers, James Miller, Hoffman, P.

After being elected last spring by the stu- dent body, they spent many hours practicing in order to perfect their cheers before the first football game. In addition to leading cheers, they also planned pep rallies at which they featured speakers, taught the student Varsity: Cleft to righth Sally Query, Thelma Workman, Al- berta Stewart, Mary Lee Tullis.

The varsity team lost 6 games and won 16 includ- ing tournament play. Wincel Ingram broke the local individual record on the local floor when Shelby played the league winners - Bellevue. He scored 41 points. This record will undoubtedly stand for the local floor as future games will be played on the new floor at Central School. At the annual coaches meeting in March, Shelby was awarded the second place trophy for the league with Bellevue receiving first honors. The greatest joy for the Shelby Whip- pets came at the tournament held at the Marion Coliseum. The Shelby team was seeded in third spot following Ash- land and Mansfield. In the first round of play, the Whippets trounced Madison for the third time in the season. On Sat- urday night, March 6, Shelby met the Ashland Arrows who were carrying a rating of only one loss during the sea- son. Shelby never played better ball and defeated the tournament favorites Qalso rated third in the entire state by newswritersb. On the following Mon- day Shelby met the Mansfield Tygers for the final game of the tournament. For the first three quarters Shelby led the Mansfield team but were finally defeated in the last few minutes of play. After a commendable season along with the loss of a couple of big games, Coach Williams' Whippets were not ex- pected to come through with the finesse J and basketball know how, which they so well represented throughout the past season. The determination and experience of the seniors and the fighting spirit of the underclassmen, together, characterized a combination almost unbeatable.

The J. V's scored a total of 893 points for the season, a game average of 52.5. They held the opposition to an average of 40 points per game. This was a remarkable offensive record for ninth and tenth grade boys play- ing junior varsity basketball. After Lowell Jarrell was moved to a posi- tion on the varsity squad, the reserves were bolstered by five fiery freshmen. Larry Sieg- fried became a sparkplug for the Reserves and earned himself a starting position. These sophomores and freshmen were a determined bunch of players who liked to win. By their outstanding performances they assured the Shelby fans that good material Tom Payne, Jon Davis, Jan Fichter, Thomas Nothacker, Dennis Davis, and Larry Loomis Cmanagerb. is available on the basketball court for the next three years at the Whippet home.

The Whippets were going strong at the beginning of last season with a string of 5 straight victories but with the loss of Kenny Fo'reman's hitting and sparkling fielding, the team wasn't quite strong enough to take the championship. This year's team has both experience and a desire to win. With such a combination as this the Whippet nine is certain to obtain high recognition. GOLF TEAM Kneeling: Coach Yohn. Standing: Holmes, Karr, Korbas, L. Simpson, Will- iams, Wilcox, Yetzer, Terry, C. Simpson, and Pry. The Whippet Golf Team had a very suc- cessful season in 1953 by winning ll and losing but one match. The team won all six league matches and Walked away with the NOL championship. After completing the regular season the team traveled to Lima where they took sec- ond place in the district tournament and thus earned a chance to play in the state finals held at Columbus. From all points of view the team deserved a lot of credit in that they gained 8th place in state competition. This indeed was the best golf season that Shelby has had. 1953 TRIANGULAR MEETS Bellevue .......... 63 Shelby ............ 54 V2 Willard ........... 30 V2 LEAGUE MEETS Bellevue .......... 85:21 Upper Sandusky . .47 1!5 Shelby .... ....... 4 0 215 Galion ............ 23 lk Willard . . . ...... 201!2 Norwalk . . .... 5l9f20 TRACK TEAM Va' .47 1575 6?

This meet was very close as there were only 81!2 pts. between the two rivals. This meet proved to be a buildup to the league meet which was held at Willard a few weeks later. In the league meet the Whippets were again outpointed by the much improved Bellevue squad. Bellevue dominated all in- dividual play as they walked away with the meet and also the N.O.L. championship. The race for the championship this year should also prove to be very interesting in- asmuch as both Bellevue and Shelby will have veteran teams. Dick Reed Wincel Ingram Owlfdfanokng fyfayem gef afgljailfic .fgwoufcdf Wincel Ingram and Dick Reed were se- lected to receive the Annual Award as the Outstanding Athletes for the school year of 1953-1954. They were chosen by a commit- tee of teachers, coaches, and junior varsity members. There is usually one boy chosen but this year they have both proven them- selves to be outstanding. During his school days here, Wincel has taken part in football, baseball, and basket- ball. He was captain of the basketball team for the last two years and has received many honors. During the basketball tournament at Mar- ion, Wincel was recognized as one of the outstanding players of the nine schools rep- resented. He played his last few games for Shelby under the handicap of wearing a plastic face mask to protect his nose that had been broken twice during the season. Dick has taken part in basketball, track, and football. He was named co-captain for the football team and did a wonderful job. He showed unusual ability in directing the plays for the Whippets on the football field. At the Madison game he displayed great leadership in his performance. Both of these boys deserve all the honors heaped upon them by the school, commun- ity, opponents, and sports writers. 36 Walt SWCVMA Kneeling Left to Right: Steve Keller, Roger Hopton, Duane Seaton, Jim Chew, Eugene Payne, Don Keiser, Ronald Cox, Dave Yetzer, Walter Grimwood, and Tom Arntz.

Since the high school gym is constantly in demand the girls have been forced to use the grade school gym. Having no facilities to travel to other T league schools for interscholastic sports, the girls have started their own tournaments which are held during the noon hour. Each grade level had its own team consisting of six girls. The lower classes seem to have definitely showed their ability this year. One of the most important events of the year was the participation of outstanding girl athletes in the annual Play Day on the Bowling Green University Campus.

The girls enjoyed many sesaonal sports throughout the year including volleyball, basketball, baseball, soccer-they played them all. With Norma Gross as president, Dorothy Crosby-vice president, Marjorie Paulo-sec- retary, Elsie Swanger-point chairman, San- dra Ward-volleyball director, Barbara Wil- son-basketball director, and Ruth Remmy- baseball director the meetings were kept under control.

Many new dance steps for the down-field routines were used this year and looked very nice.

They performed dur- ing all the home games of the reserve football team. Part of their training consists of mem- orizing formations, and music. Throughout the winter, they practiced var- ious kinds of music and thus gained valuable experience in sight reading.

So in February and March, the strains of two songs echoed through the halls as choir members frantically and thoroughly learned parts. To practice singing before an audi- ence, the choir presented these and other numbers in a concert with the band and on February 28. Next on the list of events was the N. O. L. Festival held at Willard, March 26. Besides presenting a group of their own numbers, choir members received the thrill of singing in a large group as the four participating choirs joined in the mass numbers. The highlight of the year, however, was the formal spring contest, May 2. It was beautifully done and will be long remember- ed by the people who attended, as well as those who took part. gi. ch The Girls' Glee Club did its usual good job of entertaining the audiences that attend- ed its various concerts.

This was the agriculture department under the direction of Mr. Shank. Half a year later it was moved from its crowded quarters to the new addition of the high school which consists of a classroom, farm shop, laboratory and an office for Mr. Shank. Besides covering all phases of farming at sometime in the classwork, these future far- mers have an impressvie schedule cut out for them. These activities cover many fields. In September the officers attended Officer's Training School. Later in the year they placed first in the district parliamentary pro- cedure contest an honor they have won for three straight years.

Side windows roll down and out of sight to complete this wide open feeling. And you can shut out the sun in a wink with easy-sliding roof curtains. FRED LAUBIE J. C. MORRIS 8: CO.
