Here we have spent many happy hours. Basketball games, track meets, and football games happened here-There were tense moments - when We taced exams, and when we received our report cards. There were some times too a little sad - when we received our diplom- as and knew that the bell had rung the last time -- telling us to come to school. This was also a proud time -- for we had reached the goal we have been striving lor - - - Graduation. , Meet Mr. Mace, trustee. Many ot you have prob- ably seen his smiling tace around school or maybe at the ball games, because he is interested in the sports ot our school. His cheerful co-operation is greatly appreciated by all the students of Sheridan Hi. Page Three l Meet Mr. Hobbs, our principal, Whom We have grown to know as our personal friend and advisor. He takes an equal interest in every student and devotes his time to hearing our problems and lending his advise. When We leave the hall of S.I-I.S. We hope our paths may cross his again, because his friendship is Worthwhile. Page Four , Meet the faculty. These are the teachers who have been so patient with us all these years. r They were always willing to give us advice and help when We needed it most. Long after We leave S. H. S. We will remember them because they have helped prepare us for What is ahead. There may have been times when We thought their as- signments vvere unjust, but now We realize it was for our own good. When graduation time comes, We'll know they are great- ly responsible for our achievements. 4 . X -y p Z A +s i ,f 1 S.. -1 2. V If 'HQ ' 5. 'Q ' :T , - -2 :P- E 1 0 . o -O 4 V ... jg .

That year we elected Boland Inskeep, President, Jimmy Gary, Vice-President, Bob Hines, Secretary- Treasurer, and Jimmy Kinkead, Sgt. At Arms. We did two main things as a class that year. One was to have a wiener roast at Bob Hines' fol- lowed by a hayride. In the spring we went to Turkey Bun State Park. Even as freshmen, the students showed signs of becoming leaders, by participating in athletics, music contests and other activities. When we were sophomores, we elected Jim Gary, President, Mary Johns, Vice-President, Kenneth Alexander, Secretary-Treasurer, and Meredith Went, Sgt. At Arms. This year we had a roller skating party at Bol- lerland. Remember how stiff your muscles were after that? As Juniors our work began. No more parties for a while. The following people were elected to shoulder the responsibilities: Judy Wright, Presi- dent, Arnola Boyer, Vice-President, Mary Johns, Secretary-Treasurer, and Lora Pettigrew, Sgt. At Arms. All girls! Maybe you were surprised, well, so were the girls!! We thought that as Juniors we worked hard, but as Seniors we worked even harder. For our class officers this year we went back to the boys. Boland Inskeep, President, William Hunt, Vice- President, Otto Linn, Secretary-Treasurer, and Jim- my Gary, Sgt. At Arms. f As Juniors we gave our first play, entitled, It's a Hit, under the direction of Mrs. Elsie Gary. We gave our second play while we were seniors. The title was To Blush Unseenf' It was also under the direction of Mrs. Gary. .- We have all appreciated Mr. Waitt and Mrs. Griffith, who have been our sponsors. May 2 was set as the day to begin our trip. It was decided that we would go to Washington, D. C. and New York. Our Baccalaureate was held May 10 and May 11 was our Commencement.

This, of course, was their Fresh- man year and an important year too, tor it marked the beginning ot their last tour years at Sheridan High School, and also the end of actual initiation ot Fresh- men at Sheridan. , Our class sponsors were Mrs. Juilet Hersh- man and Bert Eudaly. We elected the following of- ficers: Pres. Dale McCullough, Vice-Pres. Bud Harris, Sec.-Treasurer Kathleen Merrill, Sgt. Arms Freddie Kinkaid. We had one class party that year, which was held in the gym. Our sponsors for the Sophomore year were Doris Grittith and Bert Eudaly. Our officers were: Pres. Bob Sanders, Vice-Pres. Loretta Evans, Sec.- Treasurer Kathleen Merrill, Sgt. Arms Bud Harris. We had a hay ride that year which was a success even though it did rain on our way back to town. In our Junior year, with only one year ahead ot us, our sponsors are Doris Grittith and Bert Eudaly. The class otticers are: Pres. Dale McCullough, Vice- Pres. Bud Harris, Sec.-Treasurer, Joan Arthur, and Sgt. Arms Evan Reed. We are working hard with coke and pop corn concessions to earn enough money for our Senior trip. Luck is with us, since both the county and sectional basketball tournaments are being held at Sheridan this year, which will be a big boost to our concessions. See you in Washington, D. C. . . AS TIME PROGRESSES Page Eighteen , ,,,, ,, ,,, , Sophomore Class Although there was not much change over last year, we had an enjoyable time this year.

These are the precious three minutes between classes. The time when you can talk instead ol being talked to. Then there are those times when you open your locker door and all of your hooks tall out. This usually happens when you are in the biggest hurry to get to one of your best classes, and you get there only to lind that there is going to he a test that period and you haven't studied. Oh woe! Too had they didn't fall out again. Page Twenty-Eight Tmc if ,i , 4 f Q in Activities The National Honor Society The Sheridan High School Chapter of the National Honor Society Was organized in 1946.

By the end of the first semester membership was 39. Activities for the year included playing for all the home football and basketball games, including halftime shows at most all games. Thirteen Noblesville H. S. Twirlers with Ley Anne Van Sickle as in- structor gave a dance and twirl act at the Noblesville basketball game. 0ne show was a lighted baton act by Ley Anne. Two shows were by the new flag twirling team of the Sheridan band. Another first was a flag presentation team from the band at the last tive home basketball games. On January 23, a Music Booster Club was organized by interested parents and friends. This was assisted by the Nadirehs Club. It is hoped new uniforms for the band will be one of the first projects. Sheridan is to be one of the band, orchestra and vocal groups who will be in Sheridan that day, possibly 1000 to 1500 high school students in all. The band expects to give a concert in the spring for the school students, parents, and friends. The National Baton Twirling Contest in connection with the Winter Carnival was held at St. Paul, Minn., February 1, 1953. Ley Anne Van Sickle, as one of the two Indiana state winners at the contest held in Indianapolis in September 1952 was eligible to compete. While she did not win at St. Paul, she made a good showing and hopes to compete again in 1954. The Nadirehs Club of Sheridan presented the band S1500 at Christmas time toward a uniform fund. The band also received S1500 for their part in the Halloween parade which was also put in the uniform fund. Fifteen soloists and three ensembles entered the contest at Muncie February 14, the winners going to the state contest at Butler University February 21. Instrument-s added to band equipment this year included two basses, a baritone horn and two bell front altos. April 25 was the date for the Hamilton County Music Festival held in the Sheridan gym. Band, orchestra, and the high school chorus took part in the combined groups. Band played for the commencement May ll. The band expects to carry on a summer program with outdoor concerts. While the orchestra may be small the quality of performance has been excellent. New music has been one of the major projects this year. . Performances included the Junior Class Play, each of the monthly convocations by the Hamilton County Ministerial Association held in the gym, the district orchestra contest April 18, the County Musical, April 25, the Christmas program and Baccalaureate May 10. Several beginning violin students started this year. During the second semester they began playing together once or twice a week to prepare for senior orchestra.

It is comparable to the Hi-Y in some schools. The Boys' Council sponsors a convocation given once a month in which all the ministers ot the community speak in tront ot the entire student body. This year we had the privilege ot hearing Senator taltt at one of our meetings. Sunshine Society Service Above Self is the slogan around which all Sun'hino activities are centered. In 1950 the Indiana Sunshine Society launched a five- year scholarship program tor the purpose ol financing ane- nually tive Indiana high school girls through a complete three-year nurses' training course. The scholarship has an actual cash value ot S375.U0, the cost of most -three-year courses in accredited schools ot nursing. Each ot the tive districts in Indiana awards one schol- arship on a competitive basis secured from a series ot tests. The recipient may select her own Indiana school of nursing. This program has been established through a Sl00,00U,000 fund raised by high school girls. Also the Society gives aid to the Riley Hospital. The Sheridan society has an annual Easter Bake Sale to raise money lor this project. Another of the highlights ot the Sunshine Society is the impressive initiation service which was held this year at the Methodist Church. Each Senior girl acted as hig sister to at least two freshman girls. At Christmas the girls took baskets of truits and candies and money to the County Home at Noblesville. The society sponsored a large Christmas Tree for the main hall. For the Christmas meeting Jeanette Pickett, a former Sun- shine Ideal Girl, spoke to the girl: on nursing. Representatives attended the District Convention at Whitestown. Usually two bus loads attend the State Con- vention held in the spring.

Being selected as a member of the staff means that we will have the opportunity to learn some of the fundamentals of publishing, editing, and com- posing a book. Since this book is about our friends and our school, we have added interest and pride in it. In September we began gathering ads from the merchants of Sheridan and near-by towns. The photographer came for pictures and after many de- lays, we finally got all of them taken. When a copy of the 'pictures were sent to use, we began mounting them as they would appear in the book. A print of the mounted picture came back, and we then arranged them on the pages with the copy of stories and identification. There were deadlines to meet, sketches to draw and copy to write. At times it seemed we could never get all the work done to meet a deadline, but it all worked out fine with the aid of the typisis who gave their time for last-minute stories to be typed. Besides our hard work, we also had a lot of fun working together and exchanging ideas. We owe all our thanks to Mrs. Elma Griffith for her help and support of our book, the 1953 Syllabus.

Remember that long ride on the school bus- fBrrrl it was cold, that is if you weren't up by the heater. Remember those few minutes we had to gossip before that 8:25 bell? Loaded down with books we hurried to our assigned seats in the as- sembly so we wouldn't be counted tardy. Then it was time for our principal, Mr. Hobbs, to give us the do's and don'ts of the day. Along with those all important announcements, were awards, speeches, introductions, and a pre- view of our two plays given by the Senior and Junior Classes. Mr. Hobbs also gave us many good pointers on building character, good citizenship, and good sportsmanship. We weren't by any means, in a hurry to get to classes, but remember how we jumped when we heard those familiar worzls, Classes Pass ? This was the customary beginning of every clay at Sherdian High School since the Class of 1953 first entered Junior High in 1947. We have also met once each month to hear the various ministers in our community. This is called Convocation , sponsored by the Boys' Council. Page Forty-Three TIME POR IIE ED Otto 4 SPQRTS CHEERLEADERS Remember how we cheered as that last minute basket we made - - how we thrilled at- that long awaited touch down - - the way we shouted as we a- waited the breaking of the tape - - all this is known as school spirit. The peppy and enthusiastic yell leaders and the yelling section, are incentives to the team to play the game in a true manner of sportsman- ship whether the last blow of the whistle brings victory or defeat. The yell leaders have done a wonderful job this year in helping to promote good school spirit and a good yelling sec' tion. Lora Pettigrew, Arnola Boyer, Lorita Wright and Elizabeth Collier helped to unite and strengthen that winning spirit. Cheer Leaders: Lorita Wright Arnola Boyer Lora Peitigrew Elizabeth Collier Page Forty-Five BASKETBALL The Sheridan Blackhawks started the season oil with a win from Crispus Attucks. Weren't we proud of ourselves? Our winning streak continued throughout the season except in three games. No, we aren't lucky, we've just got a swell coach. Be- member that game at Delphi, only two seconds to go and we shot and made it? Well, maybe we were a little bit lucky that time. The Blackhawks will be missing two ot their tirst tive atter this year, Jimmy Gary and Lewis Steele. These two have given their best to their team and their school. We're proud of them. The class of '53 wishes the best ol luck to Coach Larry Hobbs in his future years at Sheridan High as coach and principal of our school. FQCDTBALL The Sheridan Blackhawks began a new season this year with a brand new coach. Everyone anx- iously awaited that tirst game with Carmel. Guess who won? Oh, well, that's just our tirst game. It Wasn't long before Mr. Day had the team rolling. Our victories weren't many but we've got to hand it to the coach and the boys because they sure kept that tighting spirit, whether winning or losing. We're proud of them. We'd also like to say Good Luck to a swell coach and may his victories be many. TRACK The 1952 track team ended with a swell sea- son behind them. Although we lost the county, we know that the boys never gave up until that last second. The 1953 track team, coached by Byron Stout, JR. HIGH The Jr. High team, under the capable coaching of Mr. Delph, soared to victory many times during the 1952 basketball season. Their main handicap was lack ot height, but these boys had the will to win which is always the main factor in any sport. The two most important reasons for this Jr. will be led by these seniors: Jim Gary, John Ober- leas, C. A. Ramsey, William Hunt, and Larry Mc-- Clure. These boys will be anxious to match the record of those boys who did so well in 1952. SPORTS High team is that it provides good, clean lun for the younger boys and also prepares them tor varsity sports in High School. Because ot Mr. Delph's un- tiring efforts, we wish him the best of luck in future years as Jr. High coach. Page Forty-Six Jr. High Yell Leaders J r.

Y T SECTIONAL TOURNEY Mr. Hobbs and his mighty Blackhawks do it again. By defeating Walnut Grove and Jackson Central we undertook the Saturday afternon game with Tipton. Sheridan was victorious in the afternoon game and went into the final game with flying colors. By winning over a good team, Carmel, Sheridan gained another sectional victory to make it five in a row. And now we take you to the Regional Tourney at Kokomo. REGIONAL TOURNEY The Blackhawks traveled to the Regional Tournament with the best record of the four teams to play at Kokomo. They kept their record by defeating the Wabash Apaches in the second game of the afternoon. Sheridan made history again by going into the final game against Kokomo. The Sheridan Hawks , though lacking in height, played the greatest battle of their entire seasonal record, and were outscored only two points by the Kokomo Wildcats. To Mr. Hobbs and our team we say these words, We're proud of you. Page Fifty X X XX ww? wa ww A XN .N X ww Q XX Q 5 SEQSXQ, 4 , gg . X. .S N X XX XS 2. A MXVNQQ- XM X N - R x X 1 if S XX.

Those days are probably gone for good. It was a sweat, but we final- ly made it. Remember all those football gamesg those basketball thrillsg the track meetsg the band playing our school song, the judging team trips? These are just a minor part of the unforgettable incidents which we will always treasure as memories. And yes! Do you remember before the county track meet when we stayed up late and learned presidents! Remember, Washington, Adams, J effer- son, and on through. I know. it wasn't very' funny then, but in years to come we will probably remember those good days. If we intended to get in the Hon- or Society we had to learn those things. The next day after the track meet about fifty seniors left for Washing- ton, D. C., and New York, along with our capable sponsors, Mrs. Gr-iiith and Mr. Waitt. I think we really deserved this trip since we had worked so hard with our class plays and selling and working concessions and just any other way' to earn money. Another thing! Remember that old car you had in which we rode to and from school? How could anyone forget? But those were just everyday happenings. The big day was when we were sitting patiently QU on the stage of that famous building which we will always remember as good old S.H.S. Yes, this is graduation. Everyone has taken another big step in life. Regardless of the other things in life, we will never forget our school days. I'm wishing you luck. Iknow you will make the best out of every- thing.
