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

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.

I crown you, Manarda Payne, Queen of the May. After many hours of practice - perfection. 0 Ann Murphy and Sonny Bumside will hold this pose forever. 24 fair maidens MAY FESTIVAL On May 6, 1965, the traditional May Festival began with twenty-four junior girls, dressed in flowing white formals, forming a floral arch for the entry of May Queen Manarda Payne and her court. The Shelby Dance Band provided the music for dances by the majorettes, dressed as Indian maidens, and the chorus line in large, white cowboy hats. These dances set the mood for the western theme of the festival based on the hit Broadway musical, Oklahoma. The 1965 festival was a story about Laurie and Curly, portrayed by Ienni Sleeth and Jack Hignite. To the choir's lively june Is Bustin' Out All Overi' and Oh What a Beautiful Morning, the young couple met and fell in love. Then the Singing Star's Sin'rey With the Fringe on the Topv carried them on a short trip through Okla- homa's golden fields. They were married during You'll Never Walk Alone and honeymooned in New Orleans, O-Klahomal where they met the mighty Mississippi in the Clee Club's Old Man River. Finally the newly-weds were welcomed home by the band and choir's combined grand finale of Oklahoma The festival came to a close as the arch dancers resumed their formation for the Queen and her court to leave the floor. Through much hard work of the music and girls' physical education departments, another May Festival became history.
