WE HONOR MISS HUGHES 'wsu-ef.-.. ..k,!,..,. ie 3 t :ff at ' A, ,lv 'r 'Kidz M I I r I F1914 F . - s it ,- I, , Sage 1a L Love, honor, and obey, these three words, though commonly associated with something of an entirely different nature, we feel may be applied, without reserve, to the person of our dedication, Miss Marie Hughes. Love, of course, refers to the love and respect which we, and her hundreds of former pupils, have for her. She has a certain charm and character which makes much more interesting the study of American History and English Literature. ln her capable hands, these proverbially dull subjects come to life, and we can almost imagine that Washington, Lincoln, Shakes- peare, Milton, etc., are standing before us, telling the story in their own words. A casual visitor to one of Miss Hughes' classes would realize at once that obedience is predominant. lt is not, however, of the strap-and-ruler variety. lt is more of an intangible something which presides over the room, and which is evident whenever Miss Hughes must correct an unruly pupil. On nearly all occasions, a look and a word from Miss Hughes is sufficient to quiet a disobedient student. Rare is the student who needs sterner treatment. And so, the Senior Class of Shelby High School takes this opportunity to honor and pay tribute to Marie Hughes. She has been an instructress in t Shelby Public Schools for thirty-five years, during which time she has served them faithfully and ener- getically. She began her teaching career in the Shelby Elementary Schools, but soon was transferred to the high school, where she has taught to the present time. Throughout the years, she has taught various sub- jects-among them, English and Math-but her greatest contribution has been in the challenges which she puts forth to the youth of Shelby in their study of American History. Miss Hughes was graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University and she has studied at Harvard University. She has toured the Continent, thus adding to her large store of European culture, which, in her teach- ing, she passes on to us. We of the Scarlet S staff wish to extend a special vote of thanks to Miss Hughes, because she was once the advisor for the Shelby High School Annual. This is only one of the many extra-curricular activities to which she has devoted her time, without thought of compensation. Thus we are proud and happy to have the honor of dedicating the l95l Scarlet S to our teacher, advisor, and, above all, our friend, Miss Marie Hughes.

In every high school in the state . , . a group of intelli industrious gent, s young men and women who t , , or three years, have been subjected to the ignominy ot being not quite old enough, are eligible to enter that powerful realm known as S E N I O R S. This division of the yearbook is devoted to the members of the graduating class of l95l of Shelby High. They were the eager, hard-playing youngsters who entered this school as seventh graders in the tall of l945. Today, l95l, they enter upon the task of enjoyable living. Who knows it among this group there may be a future Einstein, Mac- Arthur, Tatt, or Di Maggio? But whatever they are, wherever they may be, we know they'll be men and women of whom Shelby can be justly proud. They're investment in our community-in our future!
