Such is the record of Shields High School. Now ' tis 1927, and Shields High School stands an imposing structure. To six hundred and fifty pupils it daily offers treasures to increase their knowledge. Then, in 1871, at the beginning of its career, it was a six room, brick building. In 1876 an addition of six rooms was made. As the years passed by, the old building became small and inadequate. In 1911 a new school, rising on the foundation of the old, was built. Yet. to this a south wing was added in 1922. Rising step by step, growing as a tiny acorn into a mighty oak, Shields High School has offered knowledge to many. Its long line of graduates, beginning with its first class of three, are testimonies of the worth and power of an education. G. C. BORCHERDING President Henry Roegge Treasurer C. E. Loertz Secretary The School Board The duties of a school hoard niemljer are quite varied and often are unappreciated. He must at all times represent the best interests of the boys and girls of our schools regardless of personal feeling, political pressure or friendly advice. Briefly stated, the school board should select the chief executive officer and his staff of teachers; provide adequate building facilities and pro]jer equipment for the various departments; select efficient janitors; levy taxes and determine expenditures; and decide upon educational policies such as health, education, standards of scholar- ship, and discipline, vocational education, economy in time and expendi- tures, and school expansion as manifested in new courses of study, extra curricular work, athletic activities, etc. The city of Seymour is very fortunate in having three independently progressive citizens on the School Board. These men are keenly sensitive of their duties and obligations, are devoted to the welfare of our schools, and loyal to their trust. They are representative business men, capable of handling school policies in a business-like manner and are exercising efficiency, economy, and vision in administering our schools. Normal J. Lashkk Superintfiuicnt BEn?(EY R. Stiavaht Principal Associations of the past two vears have given the students of Shields High School an ever-increasing confidence and respect for Superintendent Norman J. Lasher and his work in the Seymour Schools. They have learned to appreciate his persistent efforts to secure better school condi- tions, one result of which is soon to be realized in the erection of a new school building. As an executive, Mr. Lasher ' s quiet insistence upon right ideals and high standards of work have helped to instill a whole- some atmosphere into Shields High School. Last September and the beginning of the present school year brought Shields High School its new principal. Bernev R. Stewart. Mr. Stewart came from Madison High School where he had just completed several years of successful service. By his unusual industry and earnest appli- cation to the various school problems, he has alreadv made his influence felt throughout Shields High School, and her student body justly antici- pates future growth and improvement under his direction. ■ } Top Row B.

Sopohomore, Junior, Senior, — just four words, yet how filled with hopes, disappointments, joys and regrets, we. Seniors of 1927 realize more and more each day. Four years of study and toil, mingled with pleasures and schoolday pranks, are hearing a close. As we dreamed of the future, little did we visualize these years which then seemed long, but now are drawing to an end. and tomorrow will be memories of the Past. Joyously, as if all depend. ' d upon what we did. we began our high school career with one hundred and ten members. Now that these years are past. e:g ' ity-si. mem- bers remain. Then. Senior days s?emed as a hazy dream, but now. that these have developed into reality, we as Seniors, leave to the classes after us the privilege of working, toiling, and striving to do their best for Shields High School. -■—o ULl Top Row MARY HATFIELD Latin Club L 2; Glee Club I. 2, 3, 4; History Club 1. 2; Bim- bo ' 2 ; Girl Reserve 3 ; Once in a Blue Moon 4.

Honorary credit is given in the ratio of one-half credit a year for an organization meeting once a week. Two credits are required in activities for graduation in addition to the regular thirty-two, therefore each student in high school must be in at least one major or two minor activities, a major being one that meets one period per week and a minor one that meets one period every two weeks. The activities include musical organizations, departmental clubs, debating, social organizations and school publications. Most of the meetings are held the ninth period, from four to five o ' clock; however, a few of the meetings are held in the evening from seven to eight o ' clock. The purpose of the project in Seymour High School is to interest the pupil in some work outside of his regular daily schedule. The benefit is two fold: the pupil is here at school actively engaged in con- structive work at a time when many would be on the streets, possibly engaged in destructive idleness; ftirthermore, these activities give the students opportunity for self expression, the fundamental principle under- lying all education. Mr. Glaze, assistant principal, made out a program and each organi- zation was given a definite time and place to meet with a particular teacher as critic. The results have been very satisfactory for a new project. We had at the beginning of the second semester twenty-one organizations with a total enrollment of eight hundred and four. Closely associated organizations are to be combined next year, thus makine stronger ones. l f c r ' (.

Shadows have softened each golden hour To relive school days is Memory ' s power. There comes a time to human minds when memory, the agency that links to- gether past and future, fails to bring l.iack clearly by-gone days. In view of this fact, the Senior Class of 1927 decided to publish an annual in order to preserve the memories of their days at school. It should also give to others a living representa- tion of life at school — its hopes, plans, joys, and disappointments. The members of the staff have worked diligently and faithfully to give as true and vivid a reproduction as it lies within the power of human hands to give. Such efforts shall be well repaid if they serve to carry on and upbuild a true school spirit. ur ' ■fl Owl Staff Standing — Welclon Turmail, Circulatiun Manager: Fullcm Aleyer, Assistant Circulatinn Manager; Dorothy Kysar, Assistant Business Manager; Mary Lewis, Faculty Advisor; Harold Miller, Exchange Editor.

The Owl is instrumental in creating and stimulating lovaltv and good sportsmanship among the pupils. It not only in- forms the pupils of this school of the activities of the various cluhs and organizations, but also tends to knit more firmlv the friendship between the school and the com- munitv without whose support we could not exist. This year the Oirl was financed by the Athletic Association. Members of the Staff were selected from the classes in Senior High School. Ever since its beginning November 2. 1923. it has grown and won the favor and the support of the students and the c omnmnitv. . , f ' u T- ' y, 1 ' ] -1 , i rr I ' !( • Top Row — Zickler.

Ever since its existence, dating back a few years, it has grown and by its own merits has won a permanent place as one of the most loyal and efficient boosters of Shields High. The band has given a convocation program, making the hall ring and holding the rapt attention of the student body. To the band and to Mr. Glaze, its founder and director, the pupils owe much for aiding in the developing among us a true, loyal, sportsman-like school spirit — a spirit that wavers neither in victory nor in defeat. To this spirit, which is so greatly increased by the band, we give our toast, May it live long and prosper. Orchestra Top Row — Rogers. Harloiv. Eggers. Brunow. Sullivan. . Tiirmail. Ahlhrand. D.

Thus the orchestra of Shields High has taken its place as a factor in making our school what it is. The orchestra, composed of twenty-four members, has won praise for itself and its school. The members are interested in the work. Rehearsals are held on Tues- day and Thursday. The orchestra has shown its ability by the numbers which it gaye at the Operetta, the Class Plays, and Commencement. fe ??f I ' u - -y0 k; ' (,TV 1 A Girls ' Glee Club Top Ron — Dannettelle.

Seventy-seven active members are included within its ranks. Last fall they pre- sented an operetta Once in a Blue Moon ' , also took part in the Christmas program. The Glee Club offers practical experience, for even as it is a most essential thing to make the voices harmonize and blend to enhance the beauty of a melody, just so in life, living brings for greater happiness if the lesson of harmonv is carried out. By its work the club has helped Shields High to move onward and take its place with other schools. The Glee Club meets once a week on Wednesday at four o ' clock. I . - . I .; ; .,■.., .....

In the autumn of 1925 with Donald Brunow. president, and Milton Droege, vice-president, the club added twelve boys to its membership. Besides performing the same duties as in the preceding year, the club held a Father and Son Banquet, a Find ourself Campaign. and had representatives at the Hi- conferences at Bedford. Bloomington, and North ' ernon. This year the club has increased its membersship from thirteen to twenty-six and this spring has held many interesting and inspiring discussions. a L ' -i ' MiiU !i - k ' i s w ■« • V ' •m Commercial Club Top Row — Raeburn.

This club has proved to be as popular as the course itself. The club, by means of programs consisting of special reports, endeavors to give the members a better insight and knowledge of modern business life and its methods. The knowledge of the history of bookkeeping, typing and shorthand makes these studies more interesting. The work of the club, under the supervision of Mr. Ogan, has served as an addition to the regular course. Many minor points of business, which could never be discussed in class, form interesting topics and give much information to the students. Science Club Top Ron — Ahlhrand. Turniail. . lr.

It has given a convocation program, and sponsored the illustrated lecture, Photo- graphing the Invisible, which was given by Dr. John E. Smith, Franklin, Indiana. The Science Club wishes to impress upon the students the fact that it is ' ' up and doing. For this reason the members have placed in the corridor a case for exhibit- ing scientific collections. Already interesting relics, rare stones, and displays show- ing the evolution of a modern product from its crude state, have been exJiibited. As the club grows, it hopes to be able to find still more interesting articles to exhibit. ' . ' ' Latin Club Top Row — Jackson. Brown. R. Brunow. P. Barnett. Wright, Fenton. Fourth Row — Wliitcomb.

The girls of the Junior High School have made a splendid start along this line. Programs consisting of reports on books, lives of authors and artists and dis- cussions on the merits of a book are given at the various meetings. The girls are encouraged not only to stand by and appreciate other works, but also to cultivate the art of story writing. At some meetings quizzes are held. Questions are asked about books, their authors and the chief characters. Thus by working together the mem- bers are learning to know which books are to be tasted, or chewed, or wholly digested. By constant study the members feel that they are able to derive pleasure and k nowledge from a book and to appreciate its literary worth. - 0 J r . ; - Art Club Top Ron — Emhuff, Abraham.

Often these acts discredit us. Girls, members of the classes by whom they were chosen, were elected as sponsors. These have worked together with Miss McHenry, to establish among the girls a feeling of responsibility and loyalty to their school. These girls, because of constant contact with the others, can better learn and notice the errors, which they heedlessly make. A general meeting of all the girls is held once a month. At these meetings, pro- grams which tend to encourage the girls to help make Shields High better, are given. The work of a sponsor is not easy. It requires tact and endless courage to work daily in helping to erase the flaws in our school. _ ' •;- ' ; Booster Club Top Row — Rebber. Churchman. Ahlbrand. Gossett, W. Turmail. Third Row — D.

By means of our muscles and bones we have motion and motion expresses life. By movement also, we win the means to sustain life, to improve our conditions of living. It behooves us then, to keep these organs of movement in good condition. The human bodv developes bv development of muscles: our muscles grow by use. If our daily work does not require a considerable use of our muscles we should take exercise to supplement the lack. Our exercise should bring into play all our muscles. Exercise benefits not only the muscles of the trunk and limbs, but also the heart and respiratory organ. Play is the best exercise. Work is likelv to consist of very limited motions, monotonously repeated. We want our muscles to move with the greatest efficiency in the things we have to do. This includes quickness, fineness, and pliancy, as well as force. Training the muscles is to a large degree training the nervous system, which controls them. The actions of the two are inseparable. Phvsical educaliiin purposes to develop and preserve the physical vigor, to restore the normal physical condition lost thru illness or wrong habits of posture and movement, to develop skill and better control for certain mental and moral effects, and to act as recreation. Plays and games develop not only physical strength, health, endurance, and skill, but moral qualities, such a s courtesy, chivalry, and loyalty. The Physical Education Department of Shields High School has divided the class periods into these three types of work: first, general calisthenics, which include corrective, postural, and hygienic exercises; second, recreative, which includes games and mass competition, and third, marching drill. The general calisthenics reach all parts of the body; every muscle is stimulated and exercised. Exercises to correct bad posture and poor movement are given. Hygienic exercises do much to promote mental alertness. Every part of the body is given a particular exercise. A portion of each class period is devoted to games in which all pupils join. A competitive game adds zest to the exercise and turns the work to play. Among the boys, basketball, wrestling, and gymnastic work with the mechanical horse were preferred for the recreational period. In the spring, the boys helped to construct and worked on the track, thus turning their energy into a useful channel. VoUev ball, dodge ball, and baseball were favorite games of the girls. Many types of running and ball-passing relays were popular. A number of hikes to factories, parks, and the country were taken. In May the six classes of girls gave an exhibition of drills, exercises and games used thru the year, ending with a spirited game of indoor baseball between the 7 ' s and 8 ' s. Athletics is a phase of physical education which deals with special types of exercises, such as football, basketball, baseball and track, which reach comparatively few pupils, and tend towards extreme specialization. Besides the varsity and second teams in football, basketball and baseball, there were five boys league teams and seven girls ' teams of basketball, which played a number of spirited games. There were several girls baseball teams. 5 B g) M i Football Top Row — Coach Fisher. C. Imlay. Yount. C. Hunter. Brackemyre, Moren. McCord. Foster. Pollard. Second Ron — Nieman. .Mize, Due. Moeller.

In her rapid holt from apparent insignificance to a winning pendulum in footbaH ' s sphere, Shields High has created for herself a place in the hearts of Seymour fans. As we look over the days of September. October, and November of 1926. they seem to stand out as a bright period in the gridiron history of S. H. S. Scott Fisher, of Indiana University fame, joined the coaching staff at the begin- ning of the year and, after several weeks of intensive drill in the essential principles of football, he turned out a team, which completed the most successful season Shields High has ever had. A schedule of seven games was arranged for the Purple and White eleven. Of these, two were won. one was tied, and four were lost — a record, although not impressive, cannot be considered unsuccessful. The team was piloted bv Captain Moeller, who developed into one of the fastest gridders ever to represent Shields High. Buck Roil- — Mize. right lialfhack; Moeller, quarterback: Due. fullback: Browning, left halfback. First Row — Nieman. end: Zickler. tackle: Kasting, guard: .Ahlbrand. center: Steinberger. guard: Imlay, tackle: Raeburn. end. Mize, Due. and Browning completed the backfield. The line consisted of Raeburn, Zickler, Kasting, L. Ahlbrand, Steinberger, A. Inilav. and Xienian. These players ail performed very credibly during the season and toward the close of the schedule presented one of the strongest lines in this part of the state. C. Imlay, Yount, Brackemyre. and Hunter made up the reserye and each could be depended upon to do his part. Mize. Raeliurii. Kasting and Steinberger are the only regulars lost through graduation and the outlook for another winning eleyen next year is certainly a bright one.

Mitchell issued the initial basketball call of the season last fall he was rewarded by the greatest number of net enthusiasts ever to respond to the lure of the hardwood game at Shields High. . Vfter a three week ' s pre-season training period, a veteran team was placed in the race for Indiana net honors. Four regulars from last year ' s team and the addition of Henry, former Patriot star, formed the greatest quintet to ever represent Shields High and out of a schedule of twenty games with some of the strongest teams in the state, only two defeats were suffered by the Purple and White. Albert Judd, right forward, was elected captain for the second consecutive year and proved to be a very efficient leader as well as a consistent scorer. Dally Thomas, at left forward, was the key man in the Owl ' s offense and his lightning-like passing often took all the vim out of an opposing guard. In Kysar, the Owls had one of the greatest centers in the state and he out-jumped nearly every pivot man he faced during the season. Phillips and Henry formed the strongest defensive combination ever seen in Seymour and their splendid team work as well as their consistent long range scoring often placed the Owls out in front with a new lease on confidence, HofTar, Baise. Taylor, Due. and Browning were all good reserve men and each performed very credibly during the season. Hoffar. Baise and Due are the only regulars wlio will be carried over for next year ' s team but with some valuable material from the Owdets and several promising new-comers. Shields High ' s prospect for another great team are very encouraging. _ = ikr The Owls Record 1926-27 Nov. 19 Nov. 24 Nov. 26 Dec. 3 Dec. 10 Dec. 17 Dec. 23 Dec. 24 Dec. 31 Jan. 7 Jan. 14 Jan. 22 Jan. 28 Feb. 4 Feb. 5 Feb. 11 Feb. 12 Feb. 18 Feb. 25 Feb. 26 Mitchell 56 Salem 20 Crothersville 9 Brownstown 26 Edinburg 21 Shelbyville 35 New Albany 27 Lebanon 34 Manual 29 North Vernon 5 Greensburg 38 Scottsburg 25 Washington 36 North Vernon 23 Edinburg 32 Greenfield 33 Madison 12 Mitchell 39 Jeffersonville 24 Scottsburo; 17 Seymour 59 Seymour 54 Seymour 61 Seymour 35 Seymour 57 Seymour 37 Seymour 59 Seymour 38 Seymour 60 Seymour 60 Seymour 43 Seymour 37 Seymour 21 Seymour 65 Seymour 46 Seymour 55 Seymour 39 Seymour 38 Seymour 69 Seymour 35 SECTIONAL TOURNEY Mai. 4 Freetown 30 Mar. 5 Clearspring 21 Mar. 5 Brownstown 31 Mar. 5 Cortland 32 Seymour 41 Seymour 48 Seymour 34 Seymour 31 ■ ' .■ ■■LK-rh.

Seymour is no longer a place where the townspeople take little interest in the school ' s activities, but instead a town with an organ- ized club eager and willing to back them to the hilt. The ea, Rah. Team. which reverberates throughout the gvm on every basketball game is now also the sincere and honest feeling of nianv. who formerly took no interest at all. These fans have organ- ized and as a unified body thev have shown very forcibly what sup- port and loyalty will do in making a bigger and better Shields High. This year ' s basketball schedule has called into action and made loyal fans of many. Beginning with the triumphant midnight march after the victory over Mitchell this spirit has not abated. Large delegations accompanieil the team to the other towns where it played. The spirit of good sportsmanship is growing and taking root deeper and deeper in the hearts of our fans. Courtesy to our opponents, support to the team, both in victory and defeat, are virtues that in themselves promote fair and square play. In appreciation of the team and its coach, J. R. Mitchell, for their splendid work, the Boosters ' Club gave them sweaters. ill(giindliiir I: ' Sept. 7.
