1 T HE' SHENANDOA SHS Rural Students V One group of students in the Shenandoah High School of which we should be es- pecially proud, because of their intelligence, honesty, dependability, and interest and cooperation in the school activities, is that of the rural students. Approximately two hun- dred rural students are en- rolled in the high school this year most of whom are pic- tured at the left. Many of these students live a great distance from school and on many occasions it is a real hardship for them to get to and from school. In winter they have snow blocked, ice covered roads over which they must travel, and in spring they drive through rain and mud. These con- ditions necessitate the early arising of the students in order to avoid tardiness. In spite of these handi- caps many rural students in the past have been valedic- torians and salutatorians and many students on the honor rolls have been from rural districts. When possible, rural students have entered into extra-curricular activities whole heartedly and eflicient- ly, showing a marked spirit of enthusiasm and coopera- tion. As perseverance brings success, many of our rural students after overcoming hardships will have obtained a stronger character and will be better able to cope with the battles of life. 4+ee as e 1 937,

i I l 1 i ' THE SHENANDOAH l 1 l 1 MR. EARL E.. MAY V THIS YEAR for the first time in the history of Shenandoah High School athletics, the home football games were broadcast. This was made possible through station K. M. A. It was done without any charge to the school or athletic association and we feel deeply in- debted to Mr. Earl E. May for this service. Mr. Wayne Hill announced the games. These broadcasts were beneficial inasmuch as the fans of the visit- ing teams who were obliged to remain at home were given a play-by- play account of the games. The broadcasts were also picked up at other towns, especially those in the Hawkeye Six Conference, and the score at the half of the Shenandoah games was announced. Mr. May has long been a patron of the High School Band and has been outstanding in his personal donations as well as in assistance in the raising of funds whenever they have been needed. Numerous times he has given a percentage of the receipts from a special night at the Mayfair theater to the band and also to Junior classes, helping them raise money for their Junior-Senior banquets. We are most grateful to Mr. May for his generosity and assistance. 4- HT- 4--L-I 1 9 3 7 --f:H-,:g-- -:fl----V-' - , 1-
