That marked a new era for the school. The next year, as Sophomores, our brillancy increased, but this year marks the height of our glorious career, for today we are Juniors. Our class grew in number until we now have one hundred and one members. Early in the year we chose as our motto Honor Lies in Honest Toil and we have lived up to it in every detail. We have had our place on the v l p fc O limn ' 1 ,J ' ,li muni: Lynn Huber Howard Coons Pauline Ashley Doloras Eisner basketball team, on the baseball nine, on the football squad, and on the track team. Juniors have won in the County and the District Latin Contest and one Junior went to the State Latin Contest where she took third place. We have also held important places in oratory and debating. The Class of 1927 has been the only class to publish a Junior paper. The Owl is edited twice a month. We are anxiously awaiting the time when we shall step forward and become Seniors. A Junior. N.

Unlike some freshman classes, its members were soon found in almost every activity in school and it supported the school with the same loyal spirit as the upper classmen. Last fall the greater part of the class returned as Sophomores to con- tinue our education. As Freshmen we were the main onlookers in the various activities, but now we are participants, we have been moulded into an organized unit. We are represented in Track, Football, Basketball, Orches- tra, Band and Glee Clubs. We are proud to add that some of our members won honor in the Latin contest. Our dramatic ability was shown when we presented before the student body at Convocation the one act play When East Meets West.

Mr. Jeffers looked out of his office window and said, Nature has been kind to us. She has given us a beautiful day for the opening of school. What is that green object that is moving toward the school build- mg? Mr. Lasher, just entering the door said, What a fine Freshman Class we have coming. We were a motley throng of one hundred and six who passed through the portals of Shields High School. With faces blank we were awaiting our M ill, r v il vW - IK -A t l 1 ' ll Iff mm chance to throw our talents into the school machine. We admit that we had the usual Freshmen characteristics but we have played the role well and have done much in making a name for Shields High ' School. One of our number competed in the District Latin Contest, four are on the track team, and two on the football squad. We also have members in the Girl Reserve, Hi-Y Club, Latin Club, Glee Clubs, Band, and Orchestra. We have had names of members of our class on every honor roll since we entered Shields High School. We look with envious eyes at the uppsrclassmen but we will wait patient- ly for our time. A Freshman.

With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand. He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how ve r y fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you — O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, — Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. BORN FEBRUARY 13. 1909 DIED MARCH 13. 1926 m, [ DWS ill ACTIVITIES .Monitorism It is generally believed in America that the hope of our country is to kesp citizens intelligently in possession of themselves. This means liberty under law, obedience to and respect for law. It means restraint, not secured by force on the part of the constabulary. Young people in high school and out of high school compose what is called the junior republic. Most of the regulations applicable to the senior republic are likewise applicable to the junior republic. Monitorism is our first step into student self-government. The success achieved by this initial step points promisingly in the direction of extended self-government on the part of the students in Shields High School. One question remains, however, before further development should be con- sidered — As a student of Shields High School are my desire and intent ' genuine for a higher grade of junior citizenship in S. H. S.? We must remember that self-government has come to the people by slow degrees, as they have been capable of maintaining it. When the greater number of the student body can and will answer this question affirmatively then the exten- sion of self-government is assured. It is hoped that the school attitude of this year ' s Monitors will be thoughtfully contemplated by the student body. Each Monitor has been a Patriot in the richest meaning of that word. With all of them, their school patriotism and citizenship has been ever true, always steadfast and never doubted. Their work has been earnest, hard and long and honor redounds to their Alma Mater as the result of their labor. May the coming Monitors feel it incumbent on them to hold inviolate these examples of junior citizenship. And in years to come may all who receive their early intellectual nurture from Shields High School hold high this torch lighted by the sparks of love which issued forth when those first Monitors struck the flint of fidelity with the steel of restraint.

M. S. W. Debating League of Southern Indiana. The subject chosen for debate was Resolved, that the Philippines be given their independence in the next regular session of Congress. A trophy cup was to be awarded to the winning school. The Seymour teams, coached by Miss Emily Lewis, won four debates out of the scheduled six and thus tied with Washington for first place. Two extra debates wero held at Bedford to determine the winner. The Seymour teams won both debates by a 2 — 1 decision and presented our school with the first trophy of this kind ever won here. The members of the Affirmative team were Doloras Eisner, Alvin John- son, Pauline Ashley and Madeline Findley; Negative, Donald Brunow, Albert Ahlbrand, Elizabeth Feaster and Alice Cobb. League Trophy Due to the lack of a Public Speaking Department, the work was done outsid? of school. Through the loyal co-operation and earnest effort of each member and particularly by the splendid coaching of Miss Lewis, the season was brought to a triumphant end.

The club takes die place of a Public Speaking Department and from the membership the debating teams, the school discussion contestant and the oratorical con- testant are chosen. This year under the direction of Miss Emily Lewis and Mr. Due these activities have been particularly successful. OFFICERS President Alice Cobb J ice President Doloras Elsner Sec.-Treas Pauline Ashley The subject of the High School Discussion League was The County Lnit System. Addie Green, who represented Shields High School in the District Contest held at Greensburg, took third place. Seymour High School was represented in the Oratorical Contest by Doloras Eisner, who took second place in the County. She chose for her subject Madison and die Constitution. i ' ■ I Tne Glee Clubs The Boy and Girls Glee Clubs under the direction of Mrs. Philip Max- well have been among the most popular organizations of school. Both have appeared a number of times in Convocation Period and before the Parent- Teacher Association. A very unique cantata Three Springs was given on March 16. The Glee Clubs took part in the National Music Week Contest at Indianapolis on May 8. and were highly praised because of their work and appearance.

It has performed on various occasions before the student body at Convocation and the Parent-Teacher Association. In March the orchestra assisted the glee clubs in their cantata Three Springs and later in May fur- nished music at Commencement. On May 8 the orchestra went to Indianapo- lis and creditably represented Shields High School in the National Music Week Contest. Shields High School wouldn ' t be S. H. S. without its band. The band made its initial appearance at the Greenwood football game and since then has given support to all of our athletic teams. Mr. Arthur L. Glaze, the director of the band, has proved himself a real musician and an indispensable leader to the members. Under his direction, the membership and interest have increased. On February 26 the band ap- peared in Purple and White uniforms. Societas Latma Societas Latina is one of the most successful as well as the oldest social organization in Shields High School. This year a number of interesting pro- grams as well as parties have been given. This spring the club entertained the District Latin contestants. Shields High School has been particularly successful this year in the Latin contests. There were local representatives in each division of the County Contest, here Elizabeth Feaster, Helen Wilde, Lorene May and Robert Brunow won, and later took part in the District Contest where Elizabeth Feaster and Helen Wilde won first in Vergil and Cicero. Helen won third place in Cicero in the State Contest. The Latin Contestants deserve much credit and honor. They have helped to show that our students may excel not only in athletics but in scholastic matters as well. I i I I l ilk 4 V 1 ' !!

VI Hi-Y CluL The Hi-Y Club under the leadership of Mr. Bryan has enjoyed a successful year. Regular meetings of the club were held every week, the outstanding features of these meetings were dis- cussions and debates on topics of current interest. The club also enjoyed a number of social activi- ties for both the members of the club and their friends. The club now has a membership of twenty-five boys whose purpose is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The motto is, Clean Sports, Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship and Clean Living. The Shields Hi-Y will be represented at the State Y. M. C. A. at Bedford this summer.

The production was given under the supervision of Clara Mary Newsom and Principal Fred 0. Jeffers. Boh Bennett Donald Brunow a rising young broker makes a bet with E. M. Ralston Alvin Johnson his chief of the firm, Richard Donnelly Edward Douglass the other junior member, and Clarence VanDusen Neal Hennessy who sells bogus stock to Bishop Doran Walter Rebber a credulous but foxy old party, that he can tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours, thereby making an enemy of Ethel Carter Catherine Hehmann the pampered daughter of a millionaire and almost losing Gwen Lola Elliott his fiancee who doubts his truthfulness to Mrs. Ralston Joyce Ackerman who suspects her husband of being too friendly with Mabel Margaret Jacobs a gold-digging actress, and her sister Sabel Jessie Bell who want to make a barrel of money and smd in their cards by Martha Mattie Maschino the pretty and efficient maid at the wrong moment for all concerned. On May 11 the Senior Class presented the comedy Clarence hy Booth Tarkington. The production was given under the supervision of Mary Lewis and Leona E. Stuart. Clarence, a returned soldier, really an entomologist, but working as a mule driver in the army, finds employment in Mr. Wheeler ' s home. Because of having been in the army he becomes guide, philosopher, and friend to all the members of the distracted family. He mends the plumbing in the bathroom, tunes the piano, plays the saxaphone and makes love. He and Violet, the governess, another friendless creature finally decide to become one and tread life ' s pathway together.

This was the first graduating class in our history. These people are still living and remember that old two-story brick structure. Since then fifty classes have come and gone; over one thousand students have graduated, a long line of worth while men and women testifying to the honor and integrity of our school as well as the great value of an education. We are proud of our school. The Shields Alumni have distinguished themselves in many ways, at all times bringing credit and honor to their High School. One hundred and ten graduates of this school answered the call to service and entered the World War. One gave his life. Some of our women also saw service abroad. Shields Alumni have taken prominent places in various occupations. Professional and business people in all parts of the country look back today to that time twenty, thirty or forty years ago when they for the last time said, Farewell and pledged themselves to be a credit to Shields High School. As Aeneas of Ancient Troy faced his ancestors and descendants in the underworld, so now the class of ' 26 stands before the long line of past and future graduates of Shields High School. As Shields Alumni we pledge ourselves to keep alive the spark of enthusiasm for our Alma Mater. Booster CIud The Booster Club was reorganized at the beginning of the school year 1925- ' 26. It is an organization of athletic enthusiasts, students and town fans, for the support and backing of Shields High School, particularly her athletics. Early last fall the Booster Club was instrumental in getting the business men interested in their high school, to display the Purple and White flags during the entire day preceding the game at night. These same loyal busi- ness men also supported the team by their attendance at the games. On February 12 two hundred Boosters accompanied the Shields basket throwers to Mitchell. These same Boosters made it possible for Mr. Glaze ' s band to accompany the team. That was a Red Letter Night — We Won! The Booster Club in appreciation of the splendid showing made by Coach Mitchell and his team presented them with Purple and White sweaters. When the Shields team went to the Regional Tournament at Martinsville they were not without home support because one hundred fifty Boosters ac- companied them. Although the team did not win the finals the Boosters felt proud of the fine showing made. ■ mi,;,. 1 ! 1 ry mm f dw w ' NlKJLLiiiiiiil ' 9 .

By the time of the first game on October 3 with Boys ' Prep at India- napolis, the squad had been cut to the following men: Mize, Moeller, L. Ahlbrand, Steinberger, Kamman, Kysar, Payne, Yount, Hirtzel, Due, Blish and Young. Earl Flashy Mize, half back, was elected captain, and developed into one of the best players of Southern Indiana. The first eleven of the above named men were chosen by Coach Henderson to face the heavy Boys ' Prep Team. Having been overwhelmed the year previous, the Shields fans were jubilant when they held the Prep Team to a seven to nothing score. In all the games the boys put up a fine brand of ball. r £ .

Ahlbrand, Moeller, Judd; ends, Kamman, Ross and linemen, Crane, Stepler, C. Ahlbrand and Steinberger. Coach Henderson believes that the men although lacking in experience, made a satisfactory showing. Much credit is due to his conscientious work. He voluntarily handled this sport for the love of the game and his desire to see Shields High School represented on the gridiron. Due to his careful conditioning of the men, no serious injury occurred during the two years of his tutoring, and he leaves a fine start for his successor. There will be nine letter men available and much is expected of these men on the gridiron next year. 1(1 . { l«. r j 1 Basketball Miss Newsom ' s liveliness and unconven- tionally makes her the most human of com- rades. She is heartily in favor of basketball for girls and willingly gives many hours after school to instruction and practice in basket- ball. Sh? desires to make physical education, in the semblance of basketball, a recreation rather than work, and through it to develop the social and physical life of the girls. Clara Mary Newsom Coach Bunny Beth was an inspiration to the team. She was not only an expert basketball player, but a true sportswoman, she played the game squarely and eagerly. Her skill in shooting and speed in eluding her guard made her invaluable as a forward.

Although they lost to Columbus in the final game, they felt recompensed by the compliments paid them upon their sportsmanship. Under Bunny Beth Scott ' s captaincy the squad played several curtain raisers. The squad was composed of, Capt. Bunny Beth Scott Joyce Ackerman Helen Schaefer Sara Keach Lotta May Goble Irene Kirsch Lucille Hirtzel Helen Robertson George Alice Graessle -Jessie Bell Gertrude Wilde Madeline Findley Addie Green Lora Albright Basketball When the announcement was made this spring that Coach Mitchell had resigned a tone of regret was felt throughout the High School. We are glad to announce now that he will remain with us another year to guide our basket throwers. Since coming here six years ago Coach Mitchell has won his way into th3 hearts of the students by his splen- did character and readiness to assist in all High School activities. The results of the past season should be a testimonial to the ability of Coach Mitchell. The team was one of the best in all Shields High School history. i ell Leaders ' Bob Mawn Stue ' ..liS.

His quick thinking and accurate basket eye made him one of the best forwards in Southern Indiana. During the season he amassed 427 points. Ross Glasson, Guard Candy, although small, was probably one of the best guards Seymour has ever had. He proved his real worth by holding Mayden of Mitchell to a lone field goal. Although his sum of 66 points looks small he made up for it in defense. This is his last year to wear the Purple and White. Wright Kysar, Center He never tires because he is one of the most conscientious trainers we have. It was very seldom that another center ever got the tip off. The 347 points he made shows that he hit the basket quite often. I •x Carl Phillips, Guard Fish broke into tlie lineup rather unexpectedly this year but it was not long until he fit into the machine. Although he was a long way from the basket he managed to secure 68 points by his long shots. Dallas Thomas, Forward A small man but there with the goods. He could play equally well on offense and defense. Dally was not eligible until the middle of the year but he played a fine game, this is shown by the 110 points which he made iilK, Lynn Huber, Forward Dago started the season in fine form, but an injury in almost every game lessened his playing.

Earl has two more years in school. Ival Clark, Guard His speed took everyone ' s eye. If you saw a head of curly hair and a purple streak it was Ival. He flew through on the tip off plays and they generally went well. Ival scored 38 points. Earl Mize, Guard Flashy is a fine guard and plays equally well at floor guard and back guard positions. When the forwards came down the floor, he put up a stiff fight. He scored 10 points. Walter Rebber, Forward Bolliver ' s career was short because he waited until he was a Senior to come out for basketball. He played his best game against Madison. Basketball The past season was the most successful for basketball in the history of Shields High School. When the call for basketball was made in October, forty men answered the summons, each eager to make the team. The schedule, although not as difficult as that of the previous year, provided plenty of good basketball exhibition for the local fans and enough competition for the new Shields team. The team was composed entirely of new men, not a regular being car- ried over with the exception of Thomas who was not eligible until mid-year. Albert Judd, the newly elected captain, proved to be an able and efficient leader, and a very vital cog in the offensive machine. The other forward position was held by Huber, Kamman, and Thomas. Kysar played center, Glasson, floor guard, and Phillips, back guard. Mize, Clark, Hoffar and Rebber made up the rest of the squad, and were mighty good reserve men. There were two factors which had much to do with the success of the team: first, the boys had their hearts and souls in the game, they trained, they co-operated and played basketball as a team, all realizing that victory comes through united efforts; second, the team was strong offensively. Every man could dribble, pass accurately, and shoot so all had a part in scoring. The team won twenty out of twenty-eight games. They scored 1,177 points to the opponents 857, averaging 42 points per game. With only one man, Glasson, lost by graduation, the future of this team seems exceedingly bright.

These men elected Ross Glasson, brilliant shortstop and pitcher, to be their captain. This was his fourth year on the team, an un- equaled record in the annals of Shields ' athletics. He is considered by Coach Henderson to be not only the best ball player developed under his six years of tutelage, but the best high school player that he has ever seen. The team trounced their old rivals, the Columbus Bulldogs, in the open- ing game by the score of 8 — 2. Glasson proved his ability as a pitcher by striking out fourteen men and placing the game on ice by getting three hits. The lineup was as follows: Catcher, Judd; pitcher, Glasson; first base, Reb- ber; second base, Chambers; short stop, Thomas; third base, Huber; left field, Hoffar; center field, Young; right field, Baise; utility, Douglas. Mize, Kamman, Due and Billings made the squad and were used in other games. SCHEDULE— 1926 Apr. 9. There- —Seymour. . . ...8 Apr. 13. Here —Seymour. . . ...6 Apr. 16.

Holtman, Brooks and Mascher, last year ' s star dashmen, were lost by graduation, but with training, our new recruits will ably defend the Purple and White. More men reported for track work this spring than ever before. Thirty boys were eager to show what they could do. The team was seriously handicapped by having no place to practice or to hold meets. Workouts in the field events were staged on the school lot and running was done in almost any spot which presented a smooth appearance. In spite of all the disadvantages, the spirit was wonderful. Meets were scheduled with Columbus, Shelbyville, Osgood, Batesville, Aurora, Scottsburg, and Salem. PERSONNEL OF TEAM 100-Yard Dash Browning, Judd. Phillips. C. Ahlbrand, A.
