Senior Class of i 947---------- We. the senior class of 19+7. entered Sheridan High School in the year 1943 as freshmen, w ith fifty-five students enrolled in the class. The main event of our first year in high school w as freshmen initiation. which prov ed to be entertaining for everyone, including us. As sophomores we were beginning to get the hang of things, only there wasn't much we could do about it. yet. We had a combination class party and farewell party for our class president, Malcolm Hawkins, who left for the Navy. At last in 1946 we were upper-classmen and this was the beginning of a series of events, First was our class play, Hobgoblin House . which was very' capably directed by Miss Mary Duffy. Since the play was a mystery, it was very different from the usual plays given in Sheridan High School. Also, this same year we chose our class jewelry, sponsored a magazine campaign and entertained the Seniors at the Riveria Club. After the above accomplishments, we felt confident in taking the long-waited for step of becoming Seniors . In September 1946 we came back to S. H. S. for our last and happiest year of school. We were now, after twelve long years, dignified seniors. We w ere glad to welcome to our class Malcolm Hawkins, Donald Reddick, and Walter St rough Jr., who had been in the military service of their country. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Stout and Mrs. Griffith, as our sponsors, we were ready to undertake in our stride the many problems that confront seniors. Immediately, in the fall of 46. the staff was appointed for publishing the Syllabus. The plan to take a trip to Washington and New York in the spring, w as unanimously and enthusiastically accepted by the class. The date for the journey w as set for May eighth and the return on May sixteenth. Our high school career came to a close w ith Baccalaureate, May the eighteenth, and Commencement. May twenty-third. The Class of 47 is now going out into the world: its members to take his or her place in life, but each shall carry the memories of the days spent in dear old S. H. S. forever. Senior Officers . .

The way you left us. perhaps more than any one thing, has helped make us more conscious of things other than the seriousness of the candy shortage, or going to a ballgame. We re working hard on our annual, our play, and looking forward, trying to make a penny here, a penny there, to go on our Senior trip. We know you would have loved being with us. We re not writing to be sentimental, or mandlin. Gail, we're writing because we miss you—all of us. We know that we won't see you again for some time, meanwhile we have our careers, and a few personal obligations to take care of, but—we ll be seeing you, Gail. “With all sincerity “The Gang ’ -• vO I.

The hoys entertained the girls with a hot-dog shin-dig. I his year we are upperclassmen. (The working class, that is.) Ever Since Eve , our Junior Class Play directed by Miss Duffy, was given November the sixth of 1946. Selling pop has been our main occupation and if we follow in the footsteps of the Seniors we will still be working next year. W c entered High School as freshmen in 45. The first big event was our initiation, where Caroline Cline and Red Mendenhall demonstrated how to enjoy a movie. That year we had two class parties, a hay-ride and a come-as-you-are party. This, our Sophomore year, has not been so eventful. W e have had a hay-ride and have sponsored two dances after ball-games. Saucy Sophomores . . . Top Row: Jack Henley. Richard I lenderson. Jim Ross.

We haven t participated in many activities yet although we do have a Freshmen Basketball Team of which we are quite proud, and yell-leaders to “boot ”. We sponsored a “crazy house at the fall festival and have had a hay-ride. To Be or Not To Be Known As Disposition Planning to be Probably will be 1. James Arthur Art Likable Farmer Farmer 2.

CONGENIAL FELLOWSHIP . . . Activities . . . We give three cheers for scholarship! For the Honor Society credit is due. The Sunshine Society, Bov’s Council, And plays are all reviewed here for you. Sunshine Society . . . In picture- Mrs. Juliet Hershman Sponsor Marianna Wills T reasurer Edith Hilligoss President Vera Stoops Secretary Portia Lyon Vice-President Not Shown: Mary Grace Stafford Asst. Treasurer Janet Moredock Pianist Rosellen Tolley Song Leader With love in my heart, forgetting self and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making my community a safer and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete.” There is no better expression of the purpose of the Sunshine Society than in the creed. The Sheridan chapter was organized in 1932 with Mrs. Hershman as the sponsor. She has remained the efficient sponsor of this organization for fifteen years. Membership is extended to all girls who have reached the ninth grade or beyond. By selling milk and ice cream the society is able to make donations to the Riley Hospital and many other worthwhile organizations. Each year the girls are entertained with a chili luncheon and in the spring a Mother and Daughter banquet is held. This year the Sunshine Society is honored to be the host for the State Sunshine Society Convention, which will be held Saturday April 19th. National Honor Society . . One of the newest, outstanding, and most respected organizations in Sheridan High School is the National Honor Society. In addition to scholarship, its members are admitted on the basis of the following characteristics leadership, character, initiative, personal appearance, and personality. Membership is limited to 25% of the Senior class and 15' , of the Junior Class. The National Honor Society was organized the last of the second semester of 1946 with twenty members in the society. Since fourteen members graduated, the task of making it a working organization rested on the shoulders of the remaining six members, until new members could be initiated the second semester. The National Honor Society undertook, as its first service to the school, the task of re-opening the Sheridan recreational center for the young people. With the aid of the P. T. A. this was accomplished and it was re-opened. In the spring, the Honor Society sponsored a Vocational Guidance Day with many well known men and women from colleges, universities and business professions attending to give worth while information to the students. It is the aim of the members of the Society to make this organization successful so the future students of Sheridan High School may reap the benefits that are sowed in their hearts and minds by belonging to the National Honor Society. The following members were admitted to the society the second semester: Rosemary Davis, Eileen Edie, James Glenn, Don Kercheval, Mary Grace Stafford, Phyllis Landis, Portia Lyon, Annabelle Millikan, Maefern Renn, Mary Lois Sutton. Georgi-anne Talbert, and Paul Waitt. Barbara Fisher Secretary Herbert Fulton Judy Cottingham Vice-President Miller % Sponsor Vera Stoops • President Marianna Wills Patsy Wright Parent'Teaehers Association . . The P. T. A. is a dream come true in Sheridan. For many years students, as well as teachers and parents, have longed for a P. T. A. It was finally made a reality when it was organized this fall. The P. T. A. hopes to bring the idea of hot school lunches to the Sheridan School. The plans of the National Honor Society to reopen the Buzz Bucket were taken up by the P. T. A. and under its capable supervision has become a working organization again. The officers elected for the year were: President, Mrs. Myron McCullough, Vice-president, Mrs. Lemmo Dell, Secretary, Mrs. Harold Fesmire. and Treasurer, Mrs. Mildred Hammer. The objects of the P. T. A. are: To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, church and community. To raise the standards of home life. To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth. To bring into close relationship the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the training of the child. To develop between education and the general public such united efforts as will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education. Boys Council . . . All boys of the High School (9-12) are considered as members of the Boy's Council organization. The purpose of the organization is to improve the general attitudes and ideals of the student body and of the boys especially. Officers elected by the body for the school year (1946-1947) are President. Herbert Keeling (Sr.); Vice President. Max Wiggs (Jr.); Secretary-Treasurer, Don Kercheval (Sr.); Sgt.- at-Arms, Bob Ferguson (Jr.). This organization sponsors the monthly convocations given by the ministers of the town and wishes to express appreciation for the splendid co-operation shown by the Reverends Glover. Weatherman, Wire, Ransome. Kocher, and Griffith. Some of these ministers have brought special speakers which the student body enjoyed. There have also been some talks or debates on world affairs by the boys at some of the meetings, which proved interesting to all. BOYS COUNCIL OFFICERS Max Wiggs. Bob Fergueson.

The Annual Staff met several times this year, trying to get our material completed, discussing our finances, and just figuring how to turn out a good yearbook. We even canvassed the town, taking orders for our yearbook. Perhaps we've been rather loud during our meetings, disturbing other classes, and also running back and forth through the halls to get ice cream, but I think all of us have put some honest effort, time, and work to bring about another successful Syllabus for Sheridan High School.

Due to war-time regulation and restrictions on traveling, neither has been to Bloomington in a Mathematics contest. It is now planned to have the finals in Bloomington this spring and they may be seeing each other there, then. HOBGOBLIN HOUSE The play cast of Hobgoblin House gave quite a scare to their audience when the curtains rose in our gymnasium on February 5, 1946, w ith ghosts and all kinds of phenomena from beinning to end. The story was based on teen-age psychology. Aunt Priscilla Carter, having charge of her two wealthy nieces, Marian and Jill, considered them too young for marriage. Attempting to terminate what she called puppy-love engagements between the nieces and their suitors whom she termed as fortune hunters, she leased a house in the country, thinking that separation would solve the problem of their infatuation. Thev found, upon arriving, that the house was haunted. From then on strange happenings began. EVER SINCE EVE The class of '48 had their first opportunity to prove themselves as amateur dramatists when they gave their Junior play, “Ever Since Eve , concerning the problems of a group of teen-agers in getting out their paper and settling the question of who would take whom to the prom. As usual play PRACTICE proved to be as much, or more, fun than the final performance itself. The Hallow een season added zest and an element of unexpectedness to every practice session. The whole project was traditonally closed w ith the painting of the cast's names on the back-stage ceiling, with no more than a gallon of orange paint spilled, and only two pairs of pants ruined.

Max Jones BAND The third period on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, you can hear the strains of snappy marches, and beautiful overtures sounding throughout the building by the Sheridan High School band, under the able direction of Miss Marianna Riddick. For the last several years the band has been noted as one of the outstanding bands of Hamilton County. The band always puts the finishing touches to the home games and pep sessions by their inspiring marches. The Sheridan High School band, under Miss Riddick's supervision, has been very active this fall by marching at football games, playing at home basketball games, participating in the Christmas program, and pro- ducing the music at Commencement for the Senior's processional march. Some of the various formations fashioned by the marching band were the different letters of the schools, a revolving wheel, and a heart for Valentine's Day. Each year all the hands in the county get together and give a festival. Each member of our band always looks forward to this occasion as he meets new friends and renews acquaintances with old ones. The band has acquired several new members this year so we can be certain that the band will carry on during the future years as well as it has in the past. i CHORUS I he Sheridan High School Chorus has long been noted for its outstanding musical ability. Not only does it have outstanding ability, but it is a very active organization which participates in many events. The chorus has made a trip to Terre Haute, Indiana this year to the Indiana State Teacher's College, where the annual musical contests are held. No data is available at the time of this printing, so we are unable to state how the members placed. The chorus has presented convocations to the student body which were very much enjoyed. Further, it has encouraged good feeling between schools in the county by sponsoring convocations at other schools. In turn, the other schools sponsor musical convocations here. So far this year, Walnut Grove has brought their Chorus over here to sponsor a convocation and we have gone over there with our band. Our Chorus also sings at various churches and the music is enjoyed by all the community. It will probably present the music for the Easter Sunrise Service at the Methodist Church as it has in the past for the enjoyment of all. The musical department under the capable supervision of Miss Marianna Riddick, presented again this year a Christmas Musicale. I he stirring strains of the band, combined w ith the melodious voices of the High School Chorus and the grade school choirs from Sheridan and Boxley, helped to make it a magnificent success. Next year, the chorus will undoubtedly be as outstanding as it has been in the past, for the excellent leadership of Miss Riddick combined with the talented voices of her pupils should go far in contributing to its success. ORCHESTRA I he orchestra does not have as large a membership as the band due to the fact that membership has been decreasing steadily for the last two years. This ‘has prevented it from participating in activities; however, we feel sure that in the near future the orchestra will again be able to take part in musical events. ■C-larincts—First Row: Marianna Wilis, Phyllis Hiatt. 2nd row: Margaret Ann Freeman.

This record, although not up to usual Sheridan achievement, was much better than the previous season. The Hawks gave every team they played a battle and with more experience and work should again give the Sheridan fans a winning team.

Six or seven members of the track team graduated, but there are several left this year and it looks as though Sheridan may again have a successful track season. Some of the members of last year's track team placed in higher track meets. One of them. John Hilligoss, placed in the Kokomo track meet in relays. The track team was under the supervision of Coach Dan Ballard last year. This year Coach Barney Stout will take over. This is the third year Sheridan has participated in track since it was revised and the enthusiasm for track at Sheridan has grown tremendously. Left to right: Coach Bob Downey.

S. One day as I sat in my study, in my New York Apartment, my thoughts wandered hack to my school days at dear old S. H. S. Thinking of the wonderful times I had had. it brought hack memories of my classmates. Having nothing else to do I decided to lookup some of my friends. Upon hoarding a Strato-liner to begin the trip, I saw the first of my classmates, Vera Stoops who is now Vice President of Pan-American Airways. As the trip progressed I made a stop over at Washington D. C. where 1 happened to see Herbert Keeling the new Secretary of State who was just leaving on a Good Will Trip around the world. 1 had the good fortune of staying in Herb's suite in the Hotel Annapolis. When I arrived at the hotel the doorman summoned a bellboy to carry my luggage to my suite. To my surprise the bellboy was none other than Bob Hutchens. The following day I left for Chicago and arrived at Union Station at 12:00 noon. For lunch I dropped in on Don Kercheval, the owner of the exclusive Gold Coast Club. After talking over old times with Don. we visited Marshall Fields' Department Store where Pat Wright was modeling a dinner gown designed by John Owens. Again I continued my journey by air to Indianapolis. By special request the pilot landed at the Biddle Airport which is now owned by Floyd Van Bailey. I was met at the airport by Cleon Waggoner, Sheridan's up and coming Mayor. Before starting my tour of the growing city 1 stopped in at Alexander's Drugstore (formerly Harker's) at its new location on North Meridian. Ruth Alexander is proprietor with Betty Harbaugh as her assistant. I inquired about Elizabeth Seats and found she is the owner of a cotton plantation in Georgia, and doing very well. During my stay I decided to run over to Terhune, which is a suburb of Sheridan, and visit Eileen Edie, who, due to her recent marriage, is co-owner of the Haimes DX Super Service Station. On the way back to Sheridan from Terhune, I passed the 1000 acre farm of James A. Arthur, the present owner of the Golden Cow Dairy Company. I arrived back in Sheridan just in time to see the 11:15 Monon pull into the station with Jim Pickett as engineer. While chat- ting with him I asked about his brother Dick who is now a truck driver for the Mayflower Moving Company. I left Sheridan on the 3:15 bus and arrived at Indianapolis at 4:25. Walking down Market Street 1 met Anita Evans, who, after many years of deliberation was on her way to join the Waves. While still in Indianapolis 1 ran into Keith Hundley, the new head of the Indiana State Police. He had just arrested those notorious gangsters, Mug-sey Egler and Die Hard Dick Green. 1 talked to these characters and they requested that I contact George Herbert Fulton to defend them. Before I left Indianapolis, I decided to visit Pierre Strough s Barber Salon. At first 1 thought Herbert owned the Salon but found out later that he only shined shoes. I'he manicurist at Pierre's was. much to my surprise. Rosemary Davis. Affiliated with Pierre s Barber Salon is Graham s Beauty Salon with Mary Graham and Phyllis Beam as operators. Later on I arrived at Los Angeles where I decided to drop my search of my classmates and take in Hollywood. As 1 was looking around M. G. M. Studios. 1 decided to watch Barbara Ellen s new picture in the making. When I saw her. who was it but Barbara Fisher from the class ol 47. While 1 was visiting Barbara she received a letter from her devoted friend Rosellen Tolley who is now with Judy Cottingham's all-girl orchestra. From the letter I found that they were making a one night stand at Perkins-ville Junction, Texas. Preparing to continue my trip 1 went to a Travel Agency for boat tickets to Hawaii. Pearl Oberleas was the clerk who sold me the tickets. I left the following day for Hawaii. W hen 1 arrived, Mike Hawkins, who is now a well-to-do business man,enter;ained me by taking me to the Aloha Club. Marjorie Kettrey was the feature attraction with her guitar playing and hula dancing. Also on the program with Miss Kettrey was Bill Pickett with his star dog act.

Sept. 9 Back to the Old Brain Factory ”! Seems like a long time since last April, doesn't it1 We elected new class officers. Vera Stoops won a 3rd term. 10 General assembly—Sunshine Society meeting. S Club meeting. 1 1 We elected new cheer leaders. Job’s Daughters sponsored a Back to School Dance. Our green and gaudy freshmen danced the Conga for our special feature of the evening. 13 Every one decided to stay in bed for the day. since it was Friday the 13th . We played football with Kirklin after which the Juniors held a dance. Hey Bob-a-Rc-Bob was dedicated to Bob Ferguson in memory of a small incident which happened in Randy's typing class. 19 Freshman Initiation. Guess what happened? They all went home sick. 20 After our football game with Brownsburg, the seniors sponsored a dance. We’re still trying to get to New York! 23 We had our first convocation with Rev. Glover, of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, presiding. 25 Senior Class meeting. We made plans for a Home Coming Dance following the Craw-fordsvillc game. Oct. 4 After the Crawfordsville game, the Big Four stayed in hiding because of the rough treatment they received last year. Our Home Coming Dance was quite a success. 5 Green. Waitt. Hawkins. Kercheval, and Egler decided to take the afternoon off for a brief vacation. 6 It seemed that Mr. Miller did not agree with our five excursionists that they needed a vacation! Or did he1 Nevertheless he expelled them from school for a few hours. 1 1 We played Kirklin. Shall we call it a free-for-all rather than a football game? Duche-min and Jim Wills (from Kirklin) had quite a battle in the middle of the game. 18 Played Westfield. Our game might also be called a swimming meet—due to the heavy rains. P. S. we got stuck—in the mud. (Fooled ya!) 22 We played our football game with Nobles-villc there. What was. shouldn't have been, i In case you don’t recall the disaster, we re referring to the score.)

Oh How I Hate to Get I p in the Morning is number one on our hit parade today. The seniors had a hay-ride last night— whata night. McClung lectured to his Shorthand class on How to Win a Husband What’s more. Downey gave him the material. Won’t someone lend a book about How to Win a Wife to these poor, unwanted teachers? The photographers came to take pictures of the smiling (?) faces of the great and mighty SENIORS. The exhibition of the Hula-hula added new light to our opening Basket Ball game at Rossvillc. The seniors arc in a quandary whether to buy Bert a new ring for the assembly or the assembly a new desk for Bert’s ring. Ah. at last our Thanksgiving vacation has come! Bet all of us gained ten pounds over the vacation. Kokomo's manners need mending (It’s the first time we knew Wiggs came from a cabbage patch!) Every one has a smile on their faces again. We need more vacations, maybe, huh? Downey got a telephone call at 7:30 this morning—ho-hum! Psst-and it wasn't from his mother. Sheridan WON a ballgame!! Could it be that our luck has changed1 Remember when Dorthea Myers dropped her skirt in the restaurant after the Christmas Musicalc? (What about it. Dorthea?) Barbara Fisher got Miss Colby’s note to Downey and Duffy instead of to Kohlmcyer and Duffy. Wonder what it said1??? The faculty was amazed at the strange behavior of the students until they realized that ’Santa’s annual visit' was only five days away. Back to the old grind again We noticed an unusual amount of tcx)thpicks used for eye props. We arc wondering whv— HAPPY NEW YEAR The Calendar Jan. 6 7 15 17 20 29 31 Feb. 5 7 14 17 20 25 27 The seniors had a skating party Whoops— that ice certainly can be hard' A group of sophomore boys had a good time throwing snow balls at Mr. Miller while he was inspecting the new Diesel engine. Examinations or vacation—which will it be1 The County Tourney was held here at Sheridan. Walnut Grove wanted to win the tourney so bad that they had a supply of Gold Dust and said to the Fishers team. “Here’s ’Dust’ in your eve!” The annual staff can breathe a breath of relief because we just DID meet our engraving deadline. Whew! Who supplies Martha Alexander and Chiquita Padgett with chewing gum for the 7th period assembly? We heard by way of whispers that the Juniors had quite a hair-pulling affair at their class meetings. The Seniors went to Indianapolis to visit the State Legislature while in session. The main event of the day was when Judy Cottingham broke the State House’s revolving door. We played Flora. And as usual. Sheridan came in twenty points behind. It was so cold in the assembly that M. Alexander couldn’t pop her gum. We played Rossville. The band decided that they could sing better than they could play so they formed a heart and sang. Let Me Call You Sweetheart Seniors sponsored a dance. Several of the senior girls made an imaginary trip to New York and back. They enjoyed it immensely. We had a convocation this morning Rev. Jesse Griffith was the guest speaker. Our last ballgame of the vear was held at home with Thorntown. The juniors held a ‘get-together in the gym after the game. MAD RUSH!! Every one tried to beg. borrow, or steal a ticket to the sectional tourney. Luck was with us. though—no broken bones! Sectional tourney started tonight at Nobles-villc. “Get ’em. Rlackhawks!

Mr. Stout gives another of his blanketv, blankety tests' Oh. well you juniors didn’t really want to be seniors anyway. Bob Hutchens has an early attack of spring fever. He declares it a contagious disease so he takes a rest cure. Poor excuse is better than none, so they say. Seniors held ’big dance of the year. Say what's wrong anyway, all the boys arc strictly on the beam, they arc now hep to the jive. Eh. Waggoner? The music department tooted their tooters and voiced their voices at Noblesvillc. in the County Music Festival. Hey your shoe string is untied. April Fool! Oh. you make me tho mad! No commercial contest, no girl-friend, no excuse for a trip to Danville for Randy. The National Honor Society sponsored a Guidance Day program. It was unanimously decided by the students, after hearing the lectures on the ordeals of attending college and becoming successful businessmen and women, to dig ditches and take in washings as a career. All the boys flocked to school on Saturday-Unusual isn’t it? Could it be that the reason was approximately 2,000 girls were in town for the State Sunshine Convention1 The seniors displayed their great dramatic ability by presenting another successful play entitled “Brother Go se. Variety was added to the Junior and Senior Prom by holding it in the gym. Seniors sure made the most of their last Prom and the Juniors didn’t do so bad either. Milkman Keep Those Bottles Quiet , was sung by most of the seniors as they endeavored to sneak in home. Seniors began their journey to Washington and New York, flail and farewell to Sheridan. New York here we come! Reluctant to leave the grandeur of it all but ready to return to the fold the seniors arrived back in the old home town. Baccalaureate was held in the church for the first time in many years. This was a solemn, yet joyous occasion for all of us. Commencement. Tears, tears, and more tears w'ere shed by the seniors as they took their last steps as members of dear old S.I IS. Prognostication . . . f inally I arrived in Paris. France. I took a taxi to my hotel and was resting from my long voyage when I read in the Paris Gazette that Mademoiselle Marianna Wills was giving a lecture on Advice to the Lovelorn . The next morning I got up bright and early to take a walk through the streets of Paris. My first stop of the morning w as at a Sweet Shop owned and operated by Mademoiselle Evans, formerly Awilda Wallace. As my time was short I rushed back to my hotel, packed my luggage, and w'as off to the airport. Taking my last look at Paris from the plane. I was able to see a small object on the top of the Tower. As the plane drew closer I was able to recognize the familiar face of Walter Strough, repairing the tower. I landed at London, England the following day for a few minutes between stops. I just had time to run over to Oxford College to see James Glenn who is studying to be a veterinarian. I got back just in time to board the plane for the good old U. S. A. Rosanna Harvey and I had a nice talk about the good old school days. Rosanna informed me that Edith Hilligoss is teaching at Antarctica. I landed at LaGuardia Airport and Mary Grace Stafford, newspaper correspondent for the New York Herald, interviewed me. I took a taxi back to my apartment and even though I enjoyed my trip very much, it was good to be back and relax in my easy chair in my study. Birdie Blackhawk Musical Platter-Chatter . . .
