Coach Denny Blind and co-captains Gerry Elkins and Bill Higgins show their elation as they accept the New Year's Day trophy from Connersville Principal Glenn Ross. New Year's Tourney and S.C.C. Champs We've got spirit! SHS students repeatedly proved the truth of this cheer throughout the year. Capacity crowds attended the home games and SHS fans traveled as far as jeffersonville on cold, wintry nights to see the Bears play. After the Bears' winning of the Seymour game, which assured Shelbyville of the S.C.C. crown, fans poured from stands onto the playing floor. During School Spirit Week, February 21-25, the students ex- hibited even more pride in their team. Black and gold streamers and brightly colored post- ers covered the school's walls. On Monday, Dress-down Day, every student appeared in a sweatshirt and sneak- ers. Tuesday was bright with yellow and gold clothing. Wednesday, Clash Day, brought garish color combina- tions and mismatched pairs to school. Thursday was Black Day, and on Friday, Dress-up Dayf, the student body made a complete change of character with the boys wearing suits and ties and the girls wearing heels. The highlight of the week was the sock hop and pep session on Wednesday night. After a student-faculty ball game, Terry Iames was named Miss Lily Legs of 1966. Pictures of the legs of fifteen senior boys had appeared during the week in the student center, where students could cast penny votes for their choice. 1 'Miss Lily Legs of l966, Terry james, and members of his court - Fred Dickmann, Tony Krebs, Dan McCabe, 6: Tim joseph. swl 91- L L 'YICM I This is a copy of a poster by Barbara Young which appeared -in the cafeteria during School Spirit Week.

HOMECOMING A cold and rainy Wednesday, October 20th, first seemed a miserable day for a Homecoming celebration. By evening, though, the rain had stopped, and the ball- game and festivities were able to go on as planned. At halftime the members of the Homecoming Court were escorted across the playing field to a platfonn in front of the Shelby cheering section. Here Pat McKenney, president of the Student Council, crowned Sally Horton the 1966 Homecoming Queen. Later the landslide victory of 33-14 over Cass of Logansport ended the night per- fectly. On November 6th Sally and her court reigned at the annual Fall Windup Dance, held to honor the ath- letes who had participated in fall sports. Although the night was beautiful, cheerless thoughts of having to awake early the next morning to take the all important College Entrance Examinations were in the minds of the seniors. Throughout the year the Band added much to school life by playing at the halftimes of ballgames, marching in the Christmas p rade, and presenting the Spring Varieties.

it l People Four walls and a roof make a building. Adding desks, maps, and textbooks, you have a school building. But not until PEOPLE -- the students, the faculty, the admin- istration - arrive does the building become a school. Now the building has life, now it has purpose. We listen, we learn together. We plan, we work together. We talk together. We laugh together. We cry together. We eat together. Years from now when we retum to SHS, we may recognize only the building. School life will have changed ent from any previous or future year. We may forget the greatly, for the people will have changed. The people names, dates and places that we leamed, but we shall have made this year -4 our Route 66 - distinctly differ- never forget the people. 12
