O KAW WAK 0 l933 Sophomore History Our class entered Shelbyville High School in the fall of 1932. In the course of the year, we learned our lessons and made our blunders. Miss Seibert and Mr. Gillespie were our sponsors, later in the year, when Miss Seibert left Shelbyville, Miss Hoyt took her place in the faculty of the school. Our class oflicers were Edward Garvin, president, Robert Pugh, vice-president, and Vera Taylor, S6Cr6tary-treasurer. Mary Stair- walt was Student Council treasurer. Elizabeth Boys and Clarence Ditzler were Student Council representatives. The annual picnic was held in I-Ienning's pasture. This year, we started with a great deal more conhdence and an eagerness to avenge last yearis humiliations. Our class officers for the year were: Otis Stewardson, president, Robert Pugh, vice-president, and Vera Taylor, secretary-treasurer. Mary Turk and Stanley Lantz were elected Student Council representatives. When the Athletic Commission was organized, Mary Stairwalt and Sterling Hill were elected repre- sentatives. We have been well represented in the various clubs and in pep meeting programs. Two Sophomores had principal roles in the operetta, Jerry of Jericho Road. In basketball, one of our members made the first team, and two the second. Two Sophomore boys distinguished them- selves in football, one on the first team, the other on the second. We are striving to write a commendable record for our class on the pages of the history of Shelbyville High School. Top Row: Kaiser, Young, Stillwell, Munsell, Rice, Kimmel, Garvin, O.

I933 .. - UKAW WAKO unior Class History We started in '30, the largest class Shelby High had seen for many a day. Mr. Battershell and Miss Short took us in hand and tried to make us a model class, teaching us not to stick chewing gum under the desks, shoot paper Wads at the teachers, and other such tricks that Freshmen like to engage in. We elected Leo Stamper, president, Earl Riley, vice- presidentg and Florence Brack, secretary-treasurer of our Freshman class. Also Jerome Anderson was treasurer of the Student Council, and Ella May Highley and Fred Bonser were the representatives of our class. Cap Barbee was our cheer leader. Our Sophomore year! Oh me, oh my! Our advisors, Miss Short and Mr. Battershell stuck with us, stubbornly. Jerome Anderson was our president, Lois Smith our vice president, and Grace Benelield our secretary-treasurer. Leo Stamper was the secretary-treasurer of the Student Council, and Edith Grey and James Lanti were our representa- tives. In the fall We again had a gay old time at Kensil,s ball diamond, and in the spring quite a frolic at Lythia. And so, time, putting into effect one of its greatest habits, rolled around. We have a small change in sponsors this year, three instead of two! Mr. Battershell still hangs on With the addition of Miss Shuck and Mr. Wm. Bishop. Earl Riley is our president, Carma Storm our vice president, and Richard Boys our secretary-treasurer.

IQS3 .. .. .. , - UKAW WAKO Freshmen On the first day of September we little green freshmen entered the doors of the Shelbyville High School to start on our upward journey. It took some time to begin to get used to it, but after the mixer we felt a little more acquainted and on speaking terms with the upper-classmen. Under the able leadership of Miss Moore and Mr. Fegley we chose our representatives for the Student Council and our class ofiicers of whom three of the four were boys. We actually rated two members on the school Athletic Commission which was formed at the beginning of the second semester. Our freshmen class was distinguished by having three members in the operetta cast. Cn January twenty we thought we would do something big, so we staged a Freshmen Invitational Tournament. Much to our disappointment Mattoon won first place while we won third. Nevertheless we had a lot of fun. The more musically inclined of our class have found places for themselves in the band and orchestra. Football and basketball has attracted the bravest of crew. 'Tis true Bill had rather a difficult time finding a football gear small enough for ujohnnievg but just wait till he grows up! Miss Short and the G. A. A. have had trouble finding enough for the peppy freshmen girls to do. Top Raw: Matheny, Culberson, Carnes, Howe, Baker, Butler, Hail, Peterson, Wallace, Jeffries. Edgar, Hendricks, Pogue.
