Moy Festivol Sermon Bond Beor Cots SIWGDS Concession Snobs We, the Seniors, are proud to dedicate the l94l Sauib to Captain lvlclieand, Captain Knaub, and Warrant Officer Schulz. These faculty members, as officers in the National Guard, were called into training at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in January. lvlr. lvlclieand, hovvever, left earlier in November for preparatory training in Kansas. lvlr. lvlclieand or Mac as vve knovv him, coached football and track, and taught higher mathematics, Mr. Knaub vvas instructor of speech and grammar, and Mr. Schulz was the head of our music de- partment, As these men care little for shovv and unusual attention, We put their vvork in simple terms-they have passed from one important job to another. CAPTAIN J. M. MCKEAND WARRANT-OFFICER IVIARTIN SCHULZ CAPTAIN CHARLES U. KNAUB WSW The Sqiub staff was elected to publish the annual -and thatls just what they have done. Here it is- the best annual that has represented the Seniors of S.H.S. for many years. There are always exceptions, so you may Fill in your own. I'm an outsider, yet I've spent enough time in the Squib room to know what has been going on there this year, and I know that work Qand brainstormsj are the answer. Marj and Io have given this book a personality. Read on, and you'll see what else I mean by work. Where,s the key to the file funquote, Buxtongj Betsy and Maxine slaving away over the hot quotations, Emilie trying to locate a certain Iuniorls name for the Iunior picture identifications, Mary Lou and Arlene on their feature write-ups, those cokes brought from the G. B. L. really did help the late workers, and Loper meeting the dead-line a week late. Most of the time was used to good advan- tage, but whenever a Hstrayl' went to the room, he was put to work. Betty Hendrickson, Letty Law- rence, Dick Hill, Carmen Moody, Paul Cooper, Paul Dickman, Lucy King, and Bob Hayes were even drafted to write some copy. The dummy and the picture mounting caused more late hours, but Marj and Io also were helped by the coke idea. The flowing lines on the title page are a result of Ieanls art work, and Betty G. takes the credit for the Ioe sketches on the Senior pals and the emblems for the organizations. The two crack photographers, Duane and Gene, who are after all only amateurs for are they-after looking at these picturesj, shot up enough Hlm to stretch from the dark room to Peanut Hill. Any mistakes? Did you note two Harold Cherrys and no Maurice Beaven in the above pictures? Thinking that pictures would be the main at- traction for you, copy was styled to Ht around them. Even before the journalistic angle was well under way, the business department began its functions. Emma had a rat-race keeping her Hles straight on -the distribution lists, and I think you should know about the night Mr. Sims came up with 1540 too much. That was wonderful-that also was a mistake! But Kenny and his crew did a Hne job, at least it was legal to write checks on the Squib account. The two experienced guides were Mr. Kuhn and Mr. Sims, and that is what the staff liked about them. They were guides in the truest sense of the word, steering them in the right direction, yet not interfer- ing with their ideas Cir they were at all practicalj. SHOOTING SPONSORING DESIGNING GENE GREEN SIMS AND KUIIN BETTY AND JEAN MOUNTING MAXINE-B ETTY-MARIORIE COPY EDITING ARLENE-MARGARET-MARY LOU-BETSY 11 f. 'emma-annum-un um This staff certainly enjoyed working with them, and they vvish they could publish another book next year under the same conditions. This year publicity was in the form of the Bear Catsv. Betty managed this well finteresting workj, and one after school jam session netted 51250. This staff feels they have done a good job for you, and they have enjoyed all the late hours and mental energy that have gone to make this such a Fine representative book. For further details, read the book you have in your hand! The I94I Squib will not be forgotten. EDITORIAL Editor ..,.....,.........,.....,..,....,......,............., ........

Every year the Business and Professional Womenls Club awards twenty-five dollars to an outstanding commercial student. There are several qualities other than commercial ability upon which it is basedg these are: scholarship, self-control, personality, adapt- ability, initiative, attitude toward school, co- operation, and ability to follow directions. Betsy has all the qualifications necessary. Besides being able to make a typewriter go to town, she can compete with the best in shorthand or academic studies. Personality in its true sense is exemplified in her lovable person. G wid apaaimenz' The commercial department was successful beyond all expectations at Danville, Indiana, this year. The contest was held at Central Normal College on April 5. Our school was entered in six contests. Members of the various teams and the awards won were as follows: The first team in advanced shorthand was com- posed of Betsy Fleming, Arlene Lieland, and Imogene Moore, the team placed first and won a large plaque. Maxine Kennedy, Margaret Smith, and Alberna Stroup were entered as our second team in advanced short- hand, and they placed third. Imogene Moore, Maxine Kennedy, and Betsy Fleming won individual scholar- ships to C. N. C. of 545, 340, and 1535, respectively, The advanced typing teams, composed of Rogenia Baker, Ma-xine Kennedy, and Imogene Moore in first team and Ioanne Forsyth, Betsy Fleming, and Mar- garet Smith in the second team were not as success- ful, however, the first team placed fourteenth. Book- keeping contestants were Curtis Brown, Doris Cham-- bers, Bud Clark, Ralph Douglass, Marjorie Evans, and William Sandman. In business adjustability we were represented by Doris Chambers, Ralph Douglass, and William Sandman. Ralph Douglass won a 3540 scholarship for his efforts. The first team in beginning shorthand placed eighth. It was composed of Betty Ruth Morgan, Mildred Nickell, and Marilyn VVinkles. The second team in beginning shorthand was Avonelle Ander- son, Mary Ferleman, and Mary Rehme. The second team in beginning typing was the more fortunate of the two because it succeeded in placing fifth. Members of the team were Avonelle Anderson, Paul McClellan, and Louise Patterson. The first team did not place, Patricia Deitzer, Betty Ruth Morgan, and Floretta Wamsley were members. Approximately 700 schools from Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio competed in this same contest. Our school was awarded sixth prize, a beautiful little golden statuette, because of the many scholarships and awards we won. On April 12, the State Commercial Contest was held at hluncie, Indiana, on the Ball State Teachers College campus. Instead of taking the students in a school bus to Muncie as they did to Danville, Miss Ashby and Mr. Humphrey drove their private cars and were accompanied by Mr. Loper and Mr. Stuart, both of whom also drove their cars. Beginning shorthand placed first and was repre- sented by Betty Ruth Morgan, who received a second individual honor, Marilyn Winkles, who received the fourth individual honor, and Mildred Nickell. Avon- elle Anderson accompanied the team as an alternate. The advanced shorthand team which was com- posed of Betsy Fleming, Maxine Kennedy, and Imo- gene Moore, placed fourth. The team was accom- panied by Arlene Lieland as alternate. These two teams, even though they placed as high as they did, were unable to retain the shorthand cup won by last year's teams. It is necessary to win the cup three times in succession before a school can claim posses- sion of it. ' The beginning typing team consisted of Avonelle Anderson, Louise Patterson, Floretta Wamsley, and Betty Ruth Morgan as alternate.

There,ll Be Some Changes Made, only in this case there have been some changes made. This applies to the Sunshine Society as well as various other school activities. However, at the present we are interested only in the Sunshine Society. In previous years, the new girls were elected to membership by the old members of the Sunshine Society making it a rather select group. Now, any girl who makes application and pays dues, may belong. This really makes the society more democratic, This year each class had its own division and was responsible for its own meetings. Each group ar- ranged an all-girls convocation program. One of these delightful affairs presented Mrs. King, mother of Lucy Ann, one of our own seniors, who gave a very instructive talk on the use of cosmetics and many beauty hints. Another very interesting program was given by the head of the personnel department of one of the large department stores in Indianapolis. She gave valuable information about how to apply for a position and how to display charm and ability to the best advantage. The VVilliarn H. Block Company of Indianapolis sent a large quantity of clothing here for a style show. All of these dresses, coats, suits, and various accesso- ries were very charmingly displayed by living models who were members of the Sunshine Society. These were all of the latest fashions and the best in what Milady should wear.

It has been up to them to get material for the scrapbook and they gleaned the papers for every bit of publicity of interest to the school. Four different groups were very active around Christmas time. One group arranged a party at the Major School for underprivileged children, and an- other group arranged for the same kind of party at the Hendricks School. Two other groups provided for the Booker T. WVashington and Colescott schools. Each child attending the entertainment received a gift and a treat of candy, oranges, and nuts. Through donations made by its members, the Society prepared and delivered a number of lovely baskets of food for needy families. One extremely cold Saturday, a number of mem- bers of the Society sold buttons to aid the Infantile Paralysis Fund. Prior to the basketball season, hun- dreds of pencils were sold on which the year's basket- ball schedule had been printed. ' One of the highlights of the spring activities was a tea given by the Sunshine Society. The mothers of members as well as the sponsors of the various groups were the guests.

Well, it is a comparatively new club, so maybe that's why you don't know much about itg but within a few years it will be as commonly spoken of around school as the Hi-Y or Sunshine. The girls taking Home Economics courses decided it was about time they had a club. Why not, every one else around here has one, they said, and deciding they werenst going to be any exception, the girls got together and held their first meeting in October, 1940. They electd oliicers, chose their own club colors, asked Miss Newport to be their sponsor, drew up some Worthwhile aims and purposes, and, just like that, they were organized! Right now, the club has a charter membership of 48, and they hope that soon they can ahciliate with the state organization. Like the other clubs, they too had several parties during the year among which were a Christmas party, a skating party, and a very original St. Patrick's Day party. This up and comingw new club is making a name for itself, and youlll be hearing more about it in the years to come.

Did someone mention a funeral march, or are they robbing the school?H you ask. Not on your life, despite their weary gait and suspicious looking cases. This inanimate looking group is just the Shelby High Orchestra arriving at the gym for morning rehearsal. In the spring a young manis fancy turns to-you guessed it-Contest which, in the language of the music department, means rehearsal-rehearsal-and more rehearsal: and so each weary little soul Finds himself trotting down to the gym every morning at about 7:00. 7:r5: And Cmiracle that it isj everyone is ready to begin. Fifteen minutes already having been spent in blasting, scraping, and general setting-up exercises for the group, about 70 wide-awake attentive players now await the down beat of our smiling director, Miss Bilby. True notes and blue notes are heard, and the rehearsal is well on its way. 7130: For heaven sakes, Mickey, quit leaning on your fiddleli' This loud command from our now serious looking director breaks the silence between numbers. Then red- headed, freckle-faced, Mickey Moore who stands a little over five feet tall, slowly climbs down from the stool set very conveniently beside his big bass fiddle and decides he might as well stand and play for a while. 7145! The tension is continually growing stronger until at last we see Miss Bilby waving frantically at the group of already weary players with apparently no results. At last the crucial moment comes and success is hers-result-a crescendo. 8:oo: At the Hrst word of dismissal 70 players all at the same time hurriedly put away their instruments and take off for school. And so ends another morning rehearsal. Seriously speaking though, these very players just wouldn't give up this morning ritual because they know that when they bring home the awards, their efforts have been well rewarded and so each year they come back for more to uphold the glory of old Shelby High. am! On a rainy September afternoon back in 1919, a small group of students met at school to discuss plans for organizing a band. Out of this meeting grew Shelby High's First band. It was small and poorly equipped but enthusiastic. From this meager beginning the S. H. S. band has grown into one of southern Ind1na's crack musical units. Today finds the band preparing for its eleventh year of contest clashes. Through the battles of music with melodic shrapnel wafting here and there, the band has been led to many brilliant victories under the able command of Mr. Schulz. Year after year all competitors have been subdued by the brilliancy of its brasses, the unfailing technique of its woodwinds, the perfect intonation of its horns. Time after time has this polished musical juggernaut captured top honors in district and state competition. The band is not only famous for its accomplishments as a unit, but for the top- notch soloists and ensembles which it turns out. Each year in solo and ensemble competition the S. H. S. band has a higher percentage of its soloists placed in first division than any other southern Indiana band of its class. The thing that has put the band where it is today is the spirit of pride which the members take in the organization and the school it represents. They are proud of the band not only for the way it looks and the way it plays, but for the service it has rendered to the school and community. HI-Y OFFICERS President , .....,.......

Qaaiddl The 1940 Football Season was the most successful sea- son in many years. After winning the first two games. and dropping a third, the Shelby Bears Finished the last four games in a blaze of glory. One year ago the Bears set a hard pace by winning Five out of seven, but this year the boys were out to better that record, and they did by winning six out of seven. The only loss of the year was a hard fought battle with Washington of Indianapolis. This game was a battle all the way even if our one team did have to play three different teams. The Bears defeated all of the very bitter rivals such as Seymour, Columbus, and Rushville. The boys never became overconfident or cocky. They played heads-up football and fought hard all the way. This might have been the reason for such a good season because no matter how good a team is it can always be toppled from its pedestal if the individual members of the team begin to think they are the team and that they can't be defeated. A large part of the credit can be given to the team for the wonderful spirit it displayed, but certainly a greater part can be given the coach. The team gets the credit and the coach 'stands around smiling, thinking that he surely was lucky to have such good material. The side, however, that most people fail to see is that the coach has drilled those boys in the fundamentals that would do them the most good. He has given them the benefit of his many years of experience. Every thing a player does on the Held reflects just how good the coach is. So to you men, McKeand, Humphrey, and Hinshaw, goes a lot of credit. This year eight men will be lost from the team by graduation. They are Whisman, Ash, Wagner, Sadler, Green, D. Dickman, Ray, and Fix. However, Hve of the starting eleven will be back in there Fighting. lust to prove that they really have to keep in there fighting, Illl tell you a little about the condition the team was in last year when the season closed. Whisman could hardly walk because ot a bad charley-horse in his leg, Ash had a trick knee, Wag- ner played with a broken nose, Dickman also had a broken nose, Ray was forced out with a broken Hnger and torn muscles in his chest, DiZ,, Handley had a slight concus- sion, 'flellyn Brown dislocated his knee in the Rushville game, and Gene Green's knee was about twice the usual size. Now do you see what I mean when I say that these boys had to keep Fighting all the time? Practically every FOOTBALL SCORES SHS O pp Sept. I 7-Morton Mem orial ..,.. Away Sept. 20-Seymour .........,..

Although there are six men graduating from the First eleven there are some good ones left for next year. When players are left over such as Popeye McNew, Wally Page, Thurston, and several others of just about the same caliber, there is hope for next year too. Most of the points were made by Big Tom Sadler and Paul Ash. These two boys did a nice job, but they would- n't have scored a single point if the other men on the team had not been in there blocking at just the right time. There is no doubt about it that the backlield gets all the glory. There is nothing wrong in this because they usually deserve it. They are fast, deceptive, and good ball carriers, but the men that take the punishment play on the line. They are the ones that open up the holes for the ball carriers and make it possible for them to make large gains. They are the ones that submarine or take a nose-dive under a player so the line will pile up and stop the other team's run. When they pile up on the line and the ball carrier can't go around, he proceeds to dig a 2 inch hard rubber cleat into the pile' and go over. But the men on the line have fun too. When 'iBeef,, Wagner and D. Dickman got together on a little two on one fand they perform the block perfectlyj that's where the fun came in-when they saw the other man pile up from their work. When Gene Green blocked a man by himself and felt him go down, that felt good too. The backfield blocked and had its fun. When MonkU Whisman threw a rolling block into a man and got a good solid block he was liable to get a little skinned up, but that was forgotten when he felt the other man go down. Yes, I know most of you are thinking that you wouldnit go out there and play football for anything, that it is just a little too rough. Vlfell, talk to anyone who has played football if that is the way you feel. They might tell you how much. they hated to go down there and practice in the mud or on the hard-packed ground but they would tell you truthfully that they wouldn't have missed it for any- thing. So now to the boys who play next year and 'iendureu all this, we wish you the best of luck.

The purpose of this award is to encourage a high grade of Scholarship and to place a premium upon Sportsmanship, Discipline, Training, Co- operation, Self-control, and Attitude toward the school in general. Much emphasis is placed upon playing ability. The medal is given to the member of the squad who, in the opinion of the committee, most nearly measures up to these criteria. After all seniors on the team were con- sidered, the hnal decision was rendered by the committee consisting of Mr. Breck, Mr. McKeand, and Mr. Frank Moore. WALLY PAGE was the Paul Cross Winner this year. The person who probably was most surprised was Wally, himself. He is the third Iunior to ever receive this medal, the other two were Loren Hodges and Charles Reirnann. Wally played center on the basketball team and was rated as one of the best defensive men in the state. This medal is awarded on loyalty to team and school. training, sportsmanship, and ability. Physical, mental, ano moral traning were also considered. Reverend S. 1. Cross, formerly pastor of the West Street Methodist Church, oifers the award each year in remem- brance of his son, Paul Cross, who was captain of the Shelbyville basketball team before he enlisted in the VVorld War and was killed in action. The selecting committee this year: Superintendent VV. F. Loperg Principal I. W. O. Breckg Athletic Director Frank Barnes, Wallace Reimanng and Kenneth Graham. paul 64044 14wafzcf4 SUMMARY OF PAUL CROSS WINNERS Morr1s Hogue ....,......,.,.,..............,....... 1920 Lorenzo Linville ,..,. ..,.. 1 931' Roy Richeson .,,.,.... ..,..., 1 921 Kenneth Gunning I932 Nathan Kaufman ....,., .,.... 1 922 Charles Reimann ,..,. ..... 1 935 Loren Hodges ...,.,.... ...,.... 1 923 Raymond Lackey ..,.. ..... 1 934 Arthur Barnett ......,. .,..., 1 924 Steve Gutting .......,, 1935 Paul Fix ...........,..,. ...,. 1 925 Edward Page ....... 1936 Emmet Bass ...,...,,.... ..,.......

Frank came to our school last fall from Ieffersonville High School where he coached live years. Before that time he coached at Lowell, Danville High School, and Central Normal College. He has been in the coaching game seventeen years, and he is proud to say that his teams have never Hnished a scheduled season without winning thirteen of the twenty games. This year's team won fifteen of the twenty games scheduled under his guidance. The boys seemed to think of Frank as being the Dada, of the one big family of twelve boys, and that is something few coaches can accomplish. And so to Frank Barnes, who is a friend to all and is liked bv both team and students, we salute you.

TOM SADLER WALLY TOPPING THE BAR PAUL CLIPPING OVER SHELBY,S 1940 STATE CHAMP WHITEY GETS SET FOR THE SPRINTS A LOW HURDLE 'F awk There were several men on last year's track team who were outstanding. Tom Sadler for one, was perhaps the most outstanding track man that Shelby High has had for a long time. Tom took all comers in the shot-put. He was never beaten and broke most of the records including the South Central Conference record. Tom continued to break records and, qualified at Southport for the State Track Meet. He didn't break a record there, but he came very close. Although he was only a Iunior he won Hrst place with a toss of 49, 75 , The State High School record is 52' Iliv, and Tom is out to break it this year. The track season has not even started yet, but he has thrown over SI feet. Paul Gutting did all right for himself in the high hurdles. He placed' in every track meet he entered and this place was usually a First. Wally Page and Ielly Brown took care of the high jumping very nicely. Wally holds the local high jump record and has this year and next to better it. Harold Conway ran a good mile and won several of the meets in which he was entered. Most of these men are entered in several other events. Sadler, a large and hefty football player, ran fand we do mean ranj on the relay team, and he also broadjumped. Although Tom weighed about two hundred pounds and was just a shade over six feet tall, he was one of our fastest men. He really moved! Wally threw the shot next to Sadler and many meets finished with Sadler first and Page second. Other men who did several of the other events creditably were Handley, Green, D. Dickman, and P. Dickman. PAUL JACK JACK CPaul Walton not shown in picture.J I5-30-40 Game! Match! Set! To the merciless scratch of the scorekeeper's pen the Golden Bear tennis team Went down the sad path to defeat in the fall of 1940. Success was sometimes very near, but the boys couldn't quite come through. The season's en- counters may be summarized thusly: In September, 1940, armed mostly with enthusi- asm, the boys participated in the South Central Con- ference tourney at Indianapolis. And lo, the doubles team of McComas and Walton proceeded to eliminate Connersville in the first round ro-8, I-6, 6-3, and trounce the Washington High School conference champs, 6-3, 6-o in the second. This put them in the championship round against Columbus. Here after rallying in the second set, they tasted bitter defeat at the hands of the Bull Dogs. The score was 6-4, 1-6, 3-6. Meanwhile, Iack Sexton bafHed Bob Agnew con- siderably with his Hstand back and hit 'em backi' consistency, but lost 7-5, 6-3. Agnew was the previous yearis singles champ. Cooper, in a see-saw match, defeated Iohn Brad- ley of Rushville 6-4, 1-6, 6-o in his first match, but collapsed against Bob Clegg of Washington 6-2, 6-3. Twice more during the season the Bears lost to the Columbus Bull Dogs, but the tournament was the high point of the season and the boys were thrilled at the near success which they encountered there. Sadder but wiser, the boys look forward to next sea- son, which promises great success for their more ex- perienced team. ' ' , . .

Bowing only once fto Columbus, 9-IOP, they swept through a tough schedule in successful fashion, capping the season with brilliant ball playing in the South Central Conference tour- nament at Washington where they defeated Rushville 8-o, Columbus 5-I, and Washington 5-3 for the championship. With such stars as Smith, McComas, and Ioyce, the boys not once during the season failed to be a fighting, inspired ball club. Some piled up fancy battng averages, too. Mc- Comas led with his .403 average, followed by Ioyce and Peck. Consistent hitters like Munger, Smith, and Ray pulled the team through in many a clinch and were responsible for making the team a well-rounded and powerful one. All in all, the season was one of the school's most suc- cessful, and the prospects for this year look even brighter. Peck, McComas, McNew, Ioyce, and others will report back for duty in the coming season. Comes softball time again, these boys will be in there fighting to duplicate or better the successful season of IQ4O.

ON DRESS PARADE Maya ' Any stranger entering the gym on May 9 would have been justly amazed. The gym had been trans- formed from its dull winter guise into a burst of glorv for spring. The stage was lighted and decorated with colored spotlights, palms, and Howers. At the south end of the gym was a platform beautifully decorated and here the Queen was to sit. The gym was crowded with people who gave the final touch to this air of festivity. Two months before, the Seniors, by popular vote, had elected the court to reign this night, and three weeks later the entire study body had elected their Queen whose name was not yet revealed. As the eager crowd waited in feverish expectancy, the grand march began with the entrance of tlie members of the Queen's Court and their escorts. They were Marjorie Evans and Bud Ray, Lucy Ann King and Robert Hayes, Betsy Fleming and Warren Lopff, Ioanne Forsyth and Louis Neu, Ir., Carmen Moody and Richard Hill, Margaret Smith and Iim Whisman. As the enthusiasm hit its peak, the May Queen, Ruth Ann Spiegel, entered escorted by Kenneth Chambers, Lord Mayor. With the crowning of the new queen, the pageant, America the Beautiful, began. This novel and dier- ent pageant reflected the enuthsiasm of the 1941 stu- dent body. Depicting five of the periods in American history, the crowd was carried back to the beginning of our nation as the Pilgrims entered in their quaint costumes singing long-forgotten songs. Gaily the belles danced through the minuet, and life and drums, the Spirit of ,76, Hnished the number. The Iunior High Choir told the story of the Pioneer days in their songs, Erie Canalu and Arkansas Travelerf, Who could forget the barn dance, Bird-ie in the Center,', with its music supplied by the old time fiddler, a string bass, and banjo. The trumpet quartet played the ever popular Home on the Rangev as this period was brought to an end. The Civil War episode was divided into two parts, the Plantation Party and the Party at the Big House. The children from the Booker T. Washington School sang and danced. Marilyn Kanouse sang Beautiful Dreamerf' and the Southern Belles danced the Virginia Reel. With the Gay ,9O,S came the Floradora Quartet. These twelve boys and girls danced like real troupers. The Men's Quartet sang 4'Listen to the Mocking Bird, which brought to mind the old song, 'Tm Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage,', to which Betty Mings sang and tapped. No one had to be told these were modern times as the jitterbugs trooped on the floor. The chorus sang several modern numbers. The grade school twirl- ers and high school drum majorettes gave an exhibi- tion in flag and baton twirling. The band marched in formation on the floor and the pageant ended as the whole assembly sang the Star Spangled Banner. fbi! of May Queend 1924 Bertha Worland 1925 Helen Williams 1926 Dorothy Dungan 1927 Nina Schnaitter 1928 Katherine Snapp 1929 Dorothy Rhodes 1930 Ruth Phares 1931 Mary Conger IQ32 Helen Hamblen 1933 Virginia Talbert 1934 Mary Iane Sanders 1935 Evelyn Keeling 1936 Crystal Linville 1937 Rosamond Gaines 1938 Violet Linville 1939 Mary Iane Youart 1940 Millie Iane Worland 1941 Ruth Ann Spiegel JO FORSYTH ,umm of me amz MAY QUEEN LUCY KING RLTUY SPIEGEL BETSY FLEMING MARJORIE EVANS Rudy Carmen CARMEN MOODY MARGARET SMITH .HS I 4 ' 1 The Oompah Boys Those Jivin' Bearcats CHARLEY KENNY LYLE JOHN DON LITTLE GERMAN BAND Until you have heard the German Band you ain't heard nuttin'. When it comes to entertaining the masses they really know how to strut their stuff Cand I do mean strut-have you ever seen the way they march in?j This was proved last year in the May Festival when they were the high- light of the program. Those boys were really in the groove with such hit tunes as, Oh VVhere, Oh Where, Can My Little Dog Be, Lauterbach,,' and I-Ii-le Hi-lofi The band gets around, too. They have played for several church suppers, a Boy Scout Barn quet, and in the Amateur Contest. Don, as everybody can plainly see, is 3 very able director and knows iust when and where to put crescendos and dimenduendos. The two clarinet players, Charlie and Kenny, have a certain something in their rhythm that makes the music, shall we say, melloP Iohn, the mite of the group, is the filler- inner. And then there,s Lyle who brings in the bass notes and makes up the nbulki' of the band. BOB EDDIE BUD TED BOB EDDIE COCKERHAM AND HIS BEARCATS Volga Boatmann and Frenesi -Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw are mighty tough on their arrangements of these two jam num- bers, but our high school certainly appre- ciated them more since a certain combina- tion of corn Cpardon me, boysj began jamming at the same time on these and other current favorites. The foundation beat of this swing band comes from Eddie Cockerhamls drums and Ted Maple,s boogieewoogie piano. While the Gout of this worldi' fand we ainit kiddirfj Hll-ins come from Bob Hayes on trumpet, Bob I-Iershbari' Hirschauer and his mellow trombone, and last but not corniest, Bud ClydeH Wilson and his eighteen-holed clar- inet. From Shelby Bears and HHep Catsi' carme the combination 4'Bear Catsf' and this has stuck as the boys' booking title. At Hrst these boys were sponsored by the Squib, playing several assembly programs and after school dances, but lately they have contracted and played one-night stands on their own.

An attractive young lady carrying a wire tray smiles an acknowledgment, sorts out the order, and sends it up. That's the way the people at games are served refreshments. This year sixteen girls and six boys took part in the service. With the aid of two faculty members, Kenneth Chambers, business manager of the Squib, chose the girls and boys from members of the senior class. The concession helpers were worth their weight in gold, they came around just when you needed something to pep you up. They have been unusually successful this year, too. Popcorn and crackerjack were sold as a novelty and proved t0 be quite an asset. Another new feature was the attractive way in which the members were dressed. Gold-colored, princess style smocks were provided for the girls, and white dinner jackets for the boys. The boys naturally do not attract as much attention as the young ladies, but nevertheless, they do just as much work. Clf you donit believe this, notice the southeast corner of the gymnasium when you corne to one of next season's games, especially when the gun has been Fired at the halflj During this past year, the Columbus-Shelby game and the Sectional Tourney gave them the most returns.
