chool ays Today THE 1950 SQUIB 74 Qeazem CQ me eczfz all Sfreflyallc. As we now take time midway in our century to look back and review all the happenings and experiences of our years in Shelbyville High School and we observe the Celebration of Shelbyvilles first centennial, We pause a moment to note the great amount of progress that has been made. One hundred years ago Shelbyville first started its long and hard task of becoming a tull- blossomed town. At that time our ancestors had no conception that the city they were found- ing would increase in population and size and prosper in business as it has done. In keeping with the celebration of the first centennial of Shelbyville, we shall endeavor to review with you some of these advancements in connection with the activities of the Class of 1950.
