Shelby High School is unusual this year -i954-1955-in that not one but many out- standing events have occurredg events that will mean challenges and changes for future student groups. The Whippet Football Team again walked away with honors in the North- ern Ohio League and captured the first-place honors by winning all their league games. Not to be outdone the Basketball Team chalked up a most outstanding record by winning every game in the regular season ll8 gamesl and thus became the first Whippet Team to be- come undisputed NOL champions. The school year l954-l955 saw three new organizations started in the school. These were the Shelby Hi-Y Group, the Biology Club, and THE WHIPPET TALES. The staff of this book salutes all three of these new groups and wishes them well as they embark on future programs. This year special attention is di- rected to the scholarship group or team who represented the school in scholastic events in district ond state contests. Many students prepared for various tests to determine win- ners who would serve as representatives in state events. These winners did well and were awarded outstanding honors in state-wide competition. THE x Q S x f A l PR SCHRLET ESENTING THE Every spring Preliminary District State Schol- arship Tests are administered at Shelby High to determine the winners for the nineteen subjects examinations held at the College ot Wooster on the first Saturday in May. Three winners for each subject are named and these students pre- pare diligently tor the exams that are given at specified centers throughout the State of Ohio.

THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM. Taken from High School Avenue. FOREWORD TELEVISION has presented new challenges to Education and Entertainment. Never before has it been possible to see so much of the world and all the happenings in the worldg never before has it been within the reach of almost everyone to view a TV program. With this challenge presented the publishers of the I955 SCARLET S have chosen a TELE- VISION THEME for this year's publication. You have been able to SEE IT NOW because you are here and have taken an active part in the happenings of Shelby High School for the year. The yearbook will serve as a Television Set for you in the future to SEE IT THEN on the happenings as they have occurred this year. You will be able to review with interest and fond memories the interesting parts that people have played in this the longest TV program on record -a program continuing for over nine months. The publishers of the I955 SCARLET S hope that you will recall with interest the happenings in which you have taken the most active interest and part. A PORTION OF THE MAIN PART OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING Token on o clear, cold night in December-I954 THIS IS YOUR BOOK MISS RUTH STROUP This year the Senior Class and the SCARLET S Staff take pride in dedicating the l955 SCARLET S to a teacher who through her tireless and practically unheralded efforts has helped the Senior Class and the entire school in many ways. She is always ready with a helping hand or an understanding word for all who need it. Besides teaching 7th and 8th grade arith- metic and plane geometry, she finds time to sort and count the many sales tax stamps brought in by the students. Thanks to her counting and sorting, the school now boasts a new scoreboard. Next to teaching, her biggest job for the past years has been directing the Senior Candy Stand. This includes the selecting, storing, and selling of the candy, not only for noon, but also for football and basketball games. When one realizes the responsibility of this duty, it is easier to appreciate all the work she does. Thus, she is to us as sweet as the candy she sells, and so it is our pleasure to have the honor of dedicating this, the SCARLET S of l955, to you, Miss Ruth Stroup. ' SHELBY BOARD OF EDUCATI Left to Right: Sanford Weaver, Clerk of the Boardp Arthur Love, board memberj S. R. Bricker board memberg E. Paul Curry, vice-presidentg Dr. E. D. Dowds, board memberg Byron H. Car- mean, superintendentp and Wayne Carleton, president. The Shelby Board of Education meets regularly throughout the year on the third Thursday of each month. They have had special meetings during the past year to make final arrangements for the comple- tion of the new Whitney School and the Central School Gymnasium. SANFORD WEAVER, A. B. Mr. Weaver was formerly a mem- ber of the teaching staff of the high school. Six years ago he was named Clerk of the Board of Education and has held this position since. BYRON H. CARMEAN, A. B., M. A. School Days The superintendent of schools in these mod- ern times may not have to worry about TV programs in the classroom. His major prob- lem is to provide classrooms, teachers, and athletic facilities for the hundreds of boys and girls enrolled in the public schools to- day. Mr. Carmean has performed this task very well in providing classrooms for the many pupils in Shelby Schoolsg excellent teachersg and unusual facilities for extra- curricular activities of the student and the school. The new gym at Central School to- gether with the three new elementary build- ings and the annex at the high school are evidence of the way Mr. Carmean, the Board of Education, and the people of Shel- by have provided for the students' needs. ADMINISTRATORS 1. E. McCOLLOUGH. A. B., M. A. Mambo Italiano lBy requestl Mr. McCollough has served as principal of Shelby High School for the past nine years. During that time he has seen the enrollment of the school grow annually and he is plan- ning for an even larger number of students in the fall of l955. Scheduling this large number of pupils is a task in itselfg another is to find rooms available for each of the six periods during the school day. A third task is the problem of scheduling events in the school and checking the school calen- dor constantly so that there is a minimum of overlapping of school activities. Mr. McCollough has not stated this in words but we believe that he would welcome a TV set in his office so that he could turn in on and see what was happening in any part or room of the building as well as the play field at any time in the day. l BRUCE ARCHDEACON B.S. in Ed.

This attempt is made by her step-children: Titus, Fred Shaw, Lily Belle, Melinda Beck, and Samuel, Tom Shepperd. The crowd got many laughs from the antics at Beth Milliron as Fairy Mae, the great violin playing of Larry Baker as Hannibal, Dana Shadrick as the great pianist, jeffrey Meredith's nursing his imaginary scar, jean- ette Will as Florence, talking with and taking care of her imaginary son, john Thomas, while Kay Knapp as Mrs. Paddy stood silently painting her seascapes except for an occas- ional I hate everything in the world+ and making good her vow to give up electricity for Lent.

Shelby High School's fine reputation is further elevated by the excellent record its musicians make during the year at the district and state solo and ensemble contests. These students on March I2 to journeyed to Mount Vernon compete in the district music contestg those re- ceiving superior ratings at Mount Vernon com- peted in the state competition at Kent State University on April 2. Here the hours of practice of many weeks were rewarded by the recognition they received. The french horn quartet with Marsha St. john, lanice Knapp, june Knight, and Sandra Boudinot 74 received a superior rating in the district contest and they went on to receive an excellent rating in the state. Those receiving excellent ratings in the district contest were the trumpet quartet, Tom Ellis, Don Yetzer, Kenneth Ewalt, and Richard Armstrong, flute trio, Genavee Ingram, Faye Sipe, and Nancy McLaughlin, clarinet quartet, janet Copeland, Beverly Davis, lanice Copeland, and Connie Stevens, flute trio, Nancy jones, Rosalie Black, and Sara Brinsong and a miscellaneous trio, Bon- nie Graham, Richard Hillard, and Elizabeth Waines.

Not only did they entertain at many school and outside activities, but they also earned honors in the district contest at Mount Vernon. These vocal ensembles have sung for various social and business groups in Shelby during the school year. They also took part in many school programs and assemblies.

This group meets throughout the year and even before school be- gins to plan, to carry out those plans, to check, to select pictures, to mount pictures, and to com- plete all the facts and stories for the book. This year the staff we composed of seniors interested in preparing copy and a book that would be pleasing to all the students. This required work- ing with the photographers lschool and profes- sionall, the engravers' representative, and the printer. SUBSCRIPTION STAFF FOR SCARLET S The Subscription Staff for the l955 SCARLET S was composed of members of the senior class. These members started taking subscriptions for the yearbook in the fall of i954 after an assem- bly program was given to stimulate interest in the book. john Cook, who served as subscription manager, also had charge of the assembly which presented various musical groups of the school in a so-called Hit parade of songs. Orders for the book were taken in each home- room for a period of one week and during that time students were urged to buy a copy to use as treasure-book of memories for the school year i954-1955. Eleanor Sipes and her assist- ant, Ruth Tullis, had charge of counting and de- positing the money and keeping accurate rec- ords. This year more yearbooks were ordered than any other time in the history of the school. This was due to the increased enrollment, the added interest in the book, and the realization that this was indeed a bargain since the book did not cost the individual student as much as many other schools were charging. The members of the Subscription Staff are re- sponsible for delivering the books to the home- rooms and giving a copy to each subscriber. This year more than 700 students and teachers or- dered copies of the yearbook.

THE THESPIAN CLUB Shelby students are given the opportunity to become members of the National Thespian So- ciety. To become eligible for membership a stu- dent must participate in some dramatic produc- tions. In this way neophytes lstudents working to become membersl accumulate the required number of points. Neophytes may do this by having parts in plays or working on committees. During December ten new members were in- itiated into the Thespian Club. The initiation ceremony was formal. Another initiation was held in Mav. Mr. Keiser served as advisor for the Shelby Chapter. Through Mr. Keiser's help and advice, the Thespian Club presented the all-school play Best Foot Forward. The Club also sponsored the Sock Hop. The money from this dance went to pay for the trip to Cleveland to see an outstanding play. This trip is always looked for- ward to by all and is not easily forgotten.

One outstanding group in any school that pre- sents plays and entertainments is the so-called stage crew. This group of boys selected by the speech instructor, Mr. Keiser, has charge of arranging scenery, installing lighting, operating the curtains, and a thousand and one other de- tails for all school entertainments and plays, musicals, and concerts together with the com- munity programs that are given in the school auditorium. Being a member of the stage crew requires much sacrifice on the part of every member. Many hours are spent in painting scenery and arranging it. Each member must be present at 82 an early hour before each performance and be ready to take his place assigned. After the per- formances and the stars have received acclaims from the audiences, the unsung heroes of the stage-the stage crew-get to work and start the dismantling job. Every item must be replaced in its proper place so that the director and crew will know where things are for the next perform- ance which may be one week away or two months. The stage crew of the school year i954-i955 have worked hard and long to assist in making the stage performances such outstanding suc- cesses this yea r.

This was the story of a great artist, Sarat Corn, who was being taken to be executed for the murder of her brother. On the way to the death- house, she and her guards were marooned in a convent by a Hash-flood. Although all proof pointed otherwise, Sister Mary believed in Sarat, and set about to prove her innocence. When Sister Mary discovered the real murderer, everyone was completely surprised.

During that spring three is- sues were mimeographed. The first issue was given to each student and the staff sold approx- imately 400 copies. Last fall the newspaper was continued. The new staff was chosen from those who signed up. Seven issues were printed during the school year. The papers were printed by the Shelby Printing Service.

Winning eight of nine games this season, the Whippets rambled through the league once again to cop their third straight Northern Ohio League Championship. Coach Bill Wilkins celebrated his seventh year at the helm of the Whippets by taking his fifth N. O. L. Championship. After losing a heart breaker in the opener to Ashland 6 to O, the Shelby gridders rebounded to win eight straight games. P Nothacker, Charles Winely, Roger Copeland, William Varble. IONS 1954 Following the Ashland loss the Whippets de- feated a highly rated Norwalk team 25-7. This proved to be the first in a series of eight Shelby victories. The Red and Gray then smashed an experi- enced Gallon eleven by a score of 28-l 3. The fol- lowing week the Whippets, backed by the Band and the students made short work of Willard, the potential powerhouse of the league, by blanking the Flashes 39-O. Playing in a sea of mud the Whippets then drowned out a speedy Upper team 32-7. COACH ES Lawrence Swackhamer, Jack Robb, William Wilkins, William Varble.

THIRD ROW: Larry Loomis, Mgr., Roger Bookmeyer, Larry Fraley, Phil Baumgardner, Tom Utz, Gene Moore, Bill Hen- son, Butch Payne, Mgrs.: Bob Shedenhelm, Jack White. Then one of SheIby's traditional rivals, Belle- vue, came to town only to be turned back by a close score of 20-19. This was one of the decid- ing factors in the Whippet's march to the championship. The Whippets then rambled over Bucyrus and Tiffin Columbian by scores of 59-Zi and 59-6 respectively. Captains Keiser and Emerson leading the Whip- pets onto the field. Then in the finale of a great season the Shelby gridders met an undefeated Madison eleven on W. W. Skiles Athletic Field. Playing before the largest crowd of the season the N. O. L. Champs ended the Rams victory skein and completed a very successful season with a 20-I2 victory. And so the Shelby Whippets completed an- other great season and the community can be justly proud of this ,great team, a wonderful marching band, the spirited cheerleaders, and the most loyal student body in the land.

All in all, Shelby was very well repres- ented on the honorary cage teams in the state and area. ' One of the most exciting games ot the season was the Tiffin Columbian game on the Whippets' home floor. This was the last game in the old gym. Although this was a comparatively close game, the Shelby Whippets gave notice to the 'f Two views of the second game played on the floor of the new against Willard.

The clin- cher for the championship was the last game of the regular season with Galion. ln this thriller the Whippets turned back a spirited Galion five by a score of 83 to 74. This was a great way to end a great season in the Whippets' wonderful new gymnasium. Another outstanding point of the season was the team records set. After breaking the scoring record two times by piling up 96 points against Tiffin Calvert and 99 points against Madison, the Whippet cagers finally broke the century mark by defeating Willard lO2 to 63.

More than twelve hundred fans crowded every corner to see this game on February 4th, l955. RESERVE BASKETBALL lt has been very encouraging to Shelby fans this year to watch this group of young Whippets on the basketball court. Playing before each varsity garne they racked up l2 wins while losing only 5. These lads supplied some real thrills for the spectators and showed great promise by out- classing most of their opponents. We feel that the Shelby basketball fans have nothing to worry about as these young cagers will undoubtedly continue the winning ways of Whippet basketball teams.

The team's over all record was thirteen wins and only three setbacks. The team also traveled to the Sandusky lnvitational and placed fifth in a field of fourteen of the state's finest teams. A new record was estab- lished as the Whippets won their 25th straight home match on their home course. They have gone undefeated at home for the past three years and have also been one of the top sixteen teams in the state for the past three years. As the team lost but two of its lO lettermen the Whippets are anticipating another successful season and their fourth consecutive Northern Ohio League C-ham- pionship.

Coach Roger Copeland expects this year, to have one of the strongest teams in the history ot Shelby High School. We hope these lads can repeat the excellent showing of the l95l N. O. L.

CLUB To become a member of the S Club these boys had to earn a letter in any one of the varsity sports. Of course, this is just a start in becoming a member of this organization. After they have expressed a desire to join the club, they are called upon to endure the test of courage . This group sponsors, with the G. A. A., a round and square dance. Mr. Wilkins, the advisor, keeps in close contact with the alumni lettermen by keeping track of their whereabouts so that the members of the club can inform them of the sports activities of the school. 99 CHEERLEADERS 100 VARSITY VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Mary Lee Tullis, Colleen Henson, Miss Bowman, Sandra Perry, Sally Query, Ted Sergent.

Both the Varsity and Reserve cheerleading squads went all out this year to cheer our teams on to victory. The four gals and a guy named Ted, along with the Pep Club, formed early in the fall, had charge of the Pep Rallies before important games. Their en- thusiasm was outstanding and a credit to the school. A! TEAM! FITE ATHLETIC AWARD FOR 1955 DUANE EMERSON He has shown his athletic abilities, intelligent leadership, good sportsmanship, and his record will prove that he is a very good student. Duane has shown wise leadership while serving as presi- dent of the student council, too. It is a wonderful thing when a boy with so many talents will still keep his studies and grades high. lt certainly shows that Duane realizes the value of good study habits. Congratulations to Duane Emerson for a well-deserved Award! The Annual Award to the Outstanding Athlete was chosen by a committee of teachers, coaches, and junior varsity members. This committee chose Duane Emerson as the Outstanding Athlete for the school year i954-l955, and we feel that they have made a very wise choice. This award is granted not only for athletic abilities, but also for scholarship, leadership, and sportsmanship. Duane has certainly proved him- self on all four. While in high school, Duane has taken part in football, basketball, and track. He was co-cap- tain of the football team this year, and he should be commended for an excellent job in steering the team to the Championship. Duane holds the school record in discus throwing in track, and he has received many N.O.L. honors. l0'I G. A. A.

The Girls' Athletic Association had a difficult time meeting this year because of crowded condi- tions in the high school gym. Conditions im- proved after the completion of the new Central gymnasium and meetings were held twice a month. The G. A. A. boasts of 37 members ranging in grades from freshman to senior. An informal initiation was held for all new members in Janu- ary. All girls surviving were then officially in this club. l02 BACK ROW, Left to Right: Mary Scheerer, Bonnie Jean Harmon, Mary Gray, Nancy Armingtrout, Carol Bonecutter, Elsie Swanger, Marilyn Finnegan, Nancy McLaughlin, Alice Lay, Sandy Shaffer, Mrs. Riddle, Advisor, June Knight, Janice Knapp, Mary Fraley, Phyllis Terry, Judy Smith, Jeanne Guisinger, Melinda Shaw. President Sandy Ward handled the meetings well with capable assistance from vice-president, Elsie Swanger, and secretary-treasurer, Charlene Smith. After the business meetings were finished the girls played basketball, volleyball, or softball. Bowling was also planned. Points must be kept for all girls earning let- ters. June Knight, point chairman, was respon- sible for keeping the record on the total number of points each member had earned. The girls ot the G.A.A. enjoy basketball, volley- ball, and bowling contests in their meetings of the year. This is a shot at the girls participating in one of these activities. Mrs. julia Riddle, girls' physical education in- structor, is advisor for the G.A.A. Sandra Ward, selected as the outstanding girl athlete of the G.A.A. for l955. Sandra is a mem- ber of the junior Class and has taken an active interest in G.A.A. since she came to high school.

The lack of funds, though, made it impossible for the construction of the gym until a later date. ln l952 a bond issue was passed appropriating funds to add the new gymnasium. Work on the building was retarded for about two months because of a bricklayer's union strike. The gym was finally completed in january of 1955 and the first game was played in it on February 4, 1955. The gym was planned to accommodate the elementary students and the boys' gym classes from the high school. A large folding door was installed to divide the gym into two separate gymnasiums. The elementary students can enter 06 their gym directly from Central School, and the high school gym classes can easily enter their portion of the gym from the west door. The playing floor measures 84' by 50' and is beautifully finished. There is a dressing room for the elementary gym classes which serves as the visitors' dressing room. Other shower rooms include the regular physical education room and the varsity locker room. All these rooms are equipped with lockers. There is also a coaches' room, a first-aid room, an equipment room, and a referee's dressing room. The lobby is equipped with two ticket booths, two counters for candy sales, and a large trophy case donated by the class of I944. The gym seats l4OO people by the use of bleachers which roll completely out of the way. ' First in Shelby . . . THIS IS THE '55 Ford Fairlane YOUR DRIVER TRAINING CAR... FURNISHED AT NO CHARGE.
