I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowering breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray. —Joyce Kilmer. HE condition of the schools in every community depends upon the ability, foresight, and interest of the individuals who compose the school board. Our community appreciates the services of the three excellent men who constitute this board. These men arc selected on a non-political basis and serve the community as a whole, without favorit- ism or personal bias. They are vitally interested in the progress of the schools and in community welfare. They are thoroughly conversant with business principles and are striving continuously to apply these principles to the conduct of the schools. The many improvements made in our school system in the past few months, without the necessity of increased taxes, is evidence of keen business insight. The smooth running of the school organi- zation, and of the system as a whole, is sufficient proof of their ability to apply business principles in school management. Appointment to the school board means opportunity for unselfish ser- vice to the youth and citizenship of our community. Each member of our board is keenly sensitive of this opportunity and trust. We honor them for their loyalty to duty, and their willingness to serve. G. C. Hokchkkdinc C. K. Loertz Halimi Thompson Emerson Building HIS new grade building was completed September 10, 1927, and was formally dedicated on November 8, 1927. The purchase of the site was completed in November, 1926 at a cost of $8,500. The site consists of about 4 acres, and in addition to the building and play grounds, it includes a fine high school athletic field with improved track. The building was erected at a cost of approximately $52,000 and the equipment cost about $1,500 additional, making a total cost of building, equipment and site of approximately $62,000. The school board at that time consisted of G. C. Borchkrdinc, President Henry Koko.ce, Secretary C. E. LoERTZ, Treasurer Mr. Philip Bartlett of Indianapolis was the architect who drew plans and specifi- cations and supervised the letting of contracts and the construction of the building. W. J. Abraham was the general contractor, and was held responsible for entire construction. Joe M. Steele was given sub-contract for plumbing, Gus Taskcy sub- contract for brick work and Dan Albrich was given sub-contract for plastering. This building consists of seven class rooms, auditorium, gymnasium, office, work room, etc. It is strictly modern and practically fireproof. It is well located as to population trend, and availability and has been the means of relieving the conges- tion at the high school building, thereby giving opportunity for reorganization of the Junior High School department. This building is another evidence of the fore- sight and business ability of our school board. Much credit is also due the city council for splendid co-operation. • SiKwoltil Auiniot 1 by Kuliih Thoinpaoii, BERNEY R.

S. You could spot them at a distance, for they entered with a bewildered, timid air. But soon that timidity had disappeared, and the Freshmen were not so noticeable. We even made a name for ourselves in our first year of school. We were represented in foot- ball, basketball, baseball, and track. Some of our members took part in plays and Latin contests. Altogether we made a very good showing for a Freshman Class. The next year we advanced to the Sophomore Class, and could look down upon and advise those who were entering as “green Freshies.” We increased our reputation in that year and learned to know each other better. We participated in many activities in our Junior year. We had one member on the debating team, some in the Latin contests, and in athletics. Our Junior play, “The Youngest,” was a decided success. In this, our Senior year, we can look back upon our four years spent in S. H. S., and call them four happy, profitable years—the last, the happiest of all. One of our number is on the basketball team and six are on the debating teams. Our high-school days will soon be over, and we will go forth into the world to find what is in store for us in the future. But, however bright that future may be, we shall look back upon the years we spent in dear old S. H. S. as the happiest year of our lives, and when we think of those years, pleasant memories of days spent here will come before our eyes.

We hold important places in oratory and debating. Our dramatic ability was shown in the presentation of “Polly With A Past.” We showed our industry by break- ing all ticket sale records for plays that the school has ever made. As time goes on we assume increasing responsibilities and profit by our experi- ences. As we look into the past we all join in saying that our class has worked and achieved. We are approaching our goal, and the errors we have made in the past spur us on to conquer the tasks awaiting us in the future. A Junior. L MARJOUIK BROWNING MARVIN FKNTON Back Row—While.

We canic in timidly, one by one, two by two, and stood gazing in open-mouthed astonishment at the wonderful statute of Minerva, standing in her majestic grandeur in the corridor. During our first year we learned much, as well as learned that we had MUCH MOKE to learn. Miss Funican tenderly guided us during this impressionistic year. Our abilities were exhibited in many ways: We delightfully entertained the student body with a dramatic production “Sauce for the Gosling”, during one con- vocation period. Several from our ranks entered the Latin contest and won honors for themselves and the school. Out of the five who entered the district contest at Grcensburg, three won first places. Of these three, Esther Ahlbrand and William O’Neill were from our class. Yet the greatest achievement of all was won on April 8 when Esther Ahlbrand received first award at the state contest. In the girls’ interclass basketball tournament held as curtain raisers for the Owls’ games, the 9A team, composed of Alma Miller, Alice Steinwedel, Kathryn Payne, Wilma Barnett, Mary Margaret Swcazey, and Ruth Gordon Scott, captain, won a hotly contested championship.

V s s s S Wo did not reveal how great our ability was until this, our Sophomore year. We have become accustomed to the ways of the school and are now participating in nearly all of the school activities. Many of our class have chosen the road that leads to honor, others have tried and fallen short. Those who have traveled the high road have viewed from the heights the educational field and have seen glory that others could not see, arc well satisfied and know that their efforts have not been in vain. They enjoy a feeling of satisfac- tion that they have attained something to which they can ever afterward look hack with the greatest of joy. Some of our members have distinguished themselves in football and some in basketball, others in baseball and track. Ours is an extremely athletic class. Our girls are the best athletes in the school. A member from our class again entered the Latin contest this year and Esther Ahlbrand, our Freshman winner, will again compete for state honors ut Blooming- ton April 20. We are eagerly looking forward to the time when we shall be Juniors to prove our real ability to the school. Miss Vehslage and Miss Anderson are our sponsors. Back Row—R. Allen. McClintock, Spurgeon.

The Junior High School year 1927-1928 has introduced a change in the Junior High School anization. This branch was separated from the Senior High School [1 moved into the annex of the Shields building with a separate staff teachers, since it has been felt for sometime that its problems might he better worked out as a separate unit. This school is composed of approximately one . hundred and eighty nupils with four regular teachers who arc as follows: L. A. Ackerman, Principal, and teacher of mathematics; Tida E. Graves, teacher of history, English and arithmetic; Lillian Prewitt, teacher of geography and history; Edna Remy, teacher of English. The general aim of the Junior High School as that of all other schools is to educate to prepare properly for good citizenship. All other aims must he a part of this. Each department of this school tries to accomplish this aim in its own field. The history department teaches citizenship perhaps more directly than any other department. In American history a special effort is made to teach patriotism through invoking pride in a country that has withstood so many hardships, and has grown so rapidly. Enthusiasm is aroused for study of more advanced American history. We have tried to carry over from Civics courses an idea of the importance of law enforce- ment, to arouse in pupils ideas of the individual responsibility for such enforcement. The English department has attempted to arouse in the pupil an interest, and pride in English, the language of his country. It has endeavored to give him some idea of the wealth of literature open to him, and to give him a working and climbing knowledge of fundamentals of grammar and rhetoric. No one needs the English work more than the boy who is leaving school at the age limit. We have tried to make this clear to him, and to give him as many fundamentals as possible. We are hoping to guide pupils in their reading by requiring outside reading, and making book lists suitable for such reading. Almost any boy or girl, whether or not he likes the subject, can be made to sec the importance of the mathematics course. If he be a successful business man, of course, he readily sees that a working knowledge of it is indispensable. We hope to go farther than this, and make him really enjoy the work. If he studies advanced mathematics in high school and college a great many fields will be open to him. We try then to help him to acquire a real liking for mathematics, for after all one of the important aims of Junior High School is to inspire an appreciation and knowledge of advanced work to follow. In the manual training courses, while the work itself is of a great value, probably the principal aim is to help the boy or girl to realize whether he is interested in the work. If so, he can continue in his Senior High School work, and if not he need waste no more time on it. The same is true of domestic science, art and music, all of which are optional in the Senior High School. Thus by the time he has reached Senior High School a pupil should have an idea which course he would like to pursue. In our school we have one convocation period of thirty-five minutes every week. While the programs during the past year have been somewhat in the experimental stage, still we have tried to plan programs of interest to the pupils of the age, and as much as possible, permit them to conduct their own programs. We believe that a Junior High School student will have taken the first step to- ward successful citizenship in the future if he has acquired pride and interest in, and a feeling of loyalty toward his school. ■.M.7r “' J)sL+iI«f kyiOA idtjCuf, 3 r , 6y £«A fN -- A« foMy 8n rUA VKU C ’«V 1 Acd Qj. xUlL V £ u WZ(? rJL. -• Foreign Language Club First Semester Second Semester Lora Albrich Consul Constance Osterman Mary Daugherty Praetor Thelma Miller Mary Catherine Vehslage Censor Marjorie Coryell Anclesea Moore Quaestor Grace Persinger Constance Osterman Aedile Roberta Blumer Evelyn VanOsdol Pianist Virginia Ruddick Mildred Stewart Choruslcr Susie Johnson • V77I W Cl ■- THIS Club consisted of forty-two Latin students and five Spanish students. It attempted to introduce both Spanish and Roman ideas into its activities. The meeting always consisted of two parts—business and a play hour. The program included Latin songs, discussions on Roman life, Latin conundrums, stories, playlets, dramatization of classical myths in pantomime, and special musical numbers. The Club gave a Christmas party on December 21. The Club is under the sponsorship of Lillian Wells. Many of the Club members participated in the Latin contest with great success.

The aims of the Club have been to train and quicken the student’s taste, to give breadth of view, to make books and reading as attractive as possible, to arouse love for the best things that have been written, and to stimulate the thoughts of the student. Opportunities for correct speech have been offered to the members by means of oral reports followed by class criticism.

It is one of the best products of our school. It is the most loyal booster of our athletic teams. It keeps up the true school spirit. By its confident and reassuring notes it has often sustained the hopes of the team and has told us to hack our team even if defeat was near. The hand has gone through some very earnest practice to give us its very best, not only at the games hut also at convocation programs. A storm of applause awaits it at the end of each selection. This shows that the students appreciate the splendid work the hand is doing. Let us learn from this organization to become better sports and more loyal boosters, to support our team in defeat or victory, and to treat our visitors with courtesy.

Miss Smith .................... MUSIC is a great factor in the lives of high school students. Every student admires a musician and many have the ambition of playing some kind of instrument. An orchestra serves as an inspiration to these pupils. Our orchestra has furnished music at the Christmas cantata, opcr- ette, class plays, and convocation programs. We were very fortunate in having a member of our orchestra selected to represent our school in the Third National High School Orchestra Concert, which was given in the Auditorium Theatre, Chicago. Billy Hancock was privileged to be one of the three hundred who represented high schools from all parts of the United States. Billy is a member of several orchestras and is a very promising musician. He is preparing him- self for concert work. President Vice-President Librarian Director Top Row—Jeffers, McKudden, Clark, Rrunow, Harlow, Allen, Molting, Ernest, Rogers.

It meets every Friday at the seventh period. Membership in the club is gained through try-outs and sixty-two succeeded in passing. The chorus presented an enjoyable program during one of the convocation periods. This club encourages singing of some of the better songs among the students. Singing serves the double purpose of entertainment and education and creates a better spirit among all the students. The mixed chorus united with the orchestra and girls’ glee club in presenting the Christmas cantata as well as the operetta, “The Isle of Chance” given on April 13.

It gives the girls an opportunity to harmonize their voices, and it has often resulted in the finding of a girl with a splendid voice who before had not realized the fact. It is a step in the training of singers. The girls presented a splendid convocation program. They were a great factor in the presentation of the Christmas cantata, and the operetta, “The Isle of Chance.” The club meets every Wednesday at the seventh period. This is just one more which helps to raise the standard of Shields High among other schools. The girls made their appearance in their “Purple and White” uniforms before the student body on March 22.

The weekly programs consist of readings, talks, discussions and debates. Varsity debaters and those taking part in Public Discussion contests and Oratori- cal contests are chosen from this body. The subject chosen this year by the debating league was: “Resolved, That In- creased Centralization of Power in the Federal Government is Undesirable.” The affirmative team consisted of Mary May Persinger, Harold Nieman and Homer Due, with Lois Ashley as alternate. The negative team consisted of Milton Droege, Robert Brunow and Frank Edmondson, with Madalcine Williams as alternate. These same teams were entered in the first annual state debating tournament.

Agricultural Department THE activities of the Agricultural Department are divided into various clubs. Each club has its own officers and its own projects to work out. These clubs have shown the members the practical use of the study of agriculture. The clubs which are included in the department this year are Beef Calf, Jersey Calf, Potato, Corn, Dairy Testing, Swine Feeding, and Poultry. Every member of the agricultural classes is required to work out one or more projects of the above activities. . The various clubs arc sponsored by Mr. Henderson. They meet every Wednesday afternoon. Several members have won honors in the various phases of the work and they have helped to make Shields High recognized among other schools. Glen Fill and Virgil Uuddick won first prizes at the Indiana State Fair in 1927 and 1928 respectively, on their exhibits in the Baltimore and Ohio Potato Club show.

Girls’ Sponsors IT is the purpose and desire of Shields High School to hold up continuously before the girls, in as many ways as possible, ideals that help make life practicable for all. At the beginning of the school year, each class elected its representatives and they, together with the dean, work for the best interests of all. The duties of the sponsors arc varied. They, together with the dean, try to offer to all girls of S. H. S. practical and useful suggestions. They have a sincere interest in every girl. Meetings for all girls arc held once a month on Tuesday morning. It is the aim to so permeate the life of each girl that she will go out from our school with a real desire to live life at its best. Since sphool is a democratic institution, it tries to instill into every girl a desire to live in accord with the best interests of the group. A number of outside speakers have talked to the girls this year. One of the most interesting and instructive meetings was the one held in December, when M iss Belva Newsom, Dean of Girls at Bedford, spoke. She spent last year teaching in Palestine, consequently she was well qualified to speak on “The Western and the Eastern Girl.” Rack Row—Kopcrs. Miss McHenry (l)can), Koberlsun. Moore.

Wooten Track and Basketball J. R. Mitchell Basketball Cheer Leaders ItOBKRT ClIENOWETlI Troy Blackall W'B S Football COACH Scott Fisher, in his second year as football mentor for Shields High School, built up the finest squad to represent the Owl town in recent years. Although from the standpoint of material, only four veterans and a small army of recruits, the season’s prospects seemed rather dismal; after several weeks of inten- sive training the eleven met Madison and gave them a decisive drubbing of 18—7. Even though the next three games were lost, the season was concluded success- fully by the swamping of Madison 26—0, and the defeat of Rushville 12—6 in the hardest fought game of the season. Moeller, quarterback, stood out as the star performer of the season. Many a gloomy moment was turned to rejoicing when the flashy “quarter” broke loose for a half-field length run. Due, full, stood second in backfield performance. Lange and Ward, both sopho- mores, gave excellent performance in ground-gaining also. Nieman, Rebber, and Vornholt took end positions and gave stellar playing. Kasting, Muss, Ziekler, C. Imlay, A. Imlay, Molting, Brackemyre, and Cockrum filled out one of the most stubborn lines ever. Moeller, Due, Nieman, Ziekler, Kasting, Vornholt, A. Imlay, and Brackemyre are lost by graduation. A great amount of promising material, however, makes the school’s prospects for next season unusually good. Back Row—Hluckull, Fisher (Couch), Weasncr, Moeller, Cockrum, Prewitt, Nuss, Due, Kasting.

Coach Mitchell succeeded in putting a winning team on the hardwood for the Shields High School. After the first game and the first defeat, the team as a whole, learning more than if they had won, settled down to hard intensive training in an effort to improve. In totaling the average points of defeat, the calculations show that the five games which were lost, were lost only by an average of three points each. The Owls were defeated only by some of the fastest teams in this part of the state. Probably the most exciting game of the season was at Columbus, where the Owls were defeated in the closing minutes of play, after having had the lead for almost the entire game. This year’s team showed that sportmanship was their high ideal and that to lose a game was no dishonor if they had put their entire effort into the game. Kamman, regular right forward, is the only man lost by graduation. With four regulars remaining, the possibilities for a winning team for the season of 1928-1929 are great. Much praise is due to Coach J. R. Mitchell for the fine work that he has done for the school as a whole. We regret that he has resigned his post, but we shall always remember the winning teams which he has coached. Hack foie- Foster, Ward, Mr. Henderson. Mr. Mitchell, Hrunow, Rebher. First Row—Otto, Baise, Hoffar, Kurtz, Kanunan, McCord. 777 777777777 1 TAYLOR HOFFAR “Hoff”, lanky center, was acting captain of the squad of ’28. He participated in prac- tically every game of the season and easily led his team-mates in scoring with a total of 243 points. His lengthy reach at center baf- fled all that met him. “Hoff” has another year on the local hardwood. WILLIAM BAISE “Bill” holds a big place in every fan’s heart. His crafty, consistent work at for- ward was enough to gratify any coach. He amassed a total of 161 points during the season. Baise will remain a loyal Owl for another season. FORREST KAMMAN “Frosty”, with a season of experience with the Owlets, gave stellar performance for his school. His training gained him a well- earned berth on the varsity. Hi3 season’s work made him a close third with 160 points. Kamman is the only team member lost by graduation. DONALD OTTO “Benny”, in his first year with the Owls proved himself one of the snappiest little guards to appear on southern Indiana hard- woods. His 121 points speaks but little of his excellent guarding and accurate long- distance work. ROLAND KURTZ “Koitz” gained an unparalleled support of the fans in the games in which he per- formed. Though not eligible until late in the season, the massive guard dropped in a total of 45 points. His almost literal “adhe- sion” to the ball brought him the admiration of both friend and foe. RALPH FOSTER “Pee-Wee” was little but not in ability. For speed he just.couldn’t be beat. It was a joy to see him eel his way through the defense. He made only 24 points but then the score-book doesn’t always indicate the service. HARVEY McCORD “Guff” made a most enviable record— gained a position with the team in his Freshie year. Fond hopes for future Owl teams can be laid with such prospects. Though playing far from his net, lie netted 19 points. WILBUR REBBER “Red” played just enough to make our hopes for the coming years soar high. Though only on the floor a matter of min- utes, he made full use of these moments to contribute 16 points to the season’s total. “Red” will “be back.” Owlets THE Second Team is to the First Team in basketball, what the Minor Leagues arc to the Major Leagues in baseball. It is the purpose of the Second Team to furnish a continuous flow of experienced and seasoned players to the Varsity squad. It also gives an opportunity to play to a large number of boys who will not have an opportunity to play on the first team. This year during the first semester, the Varsity and Seconds were combined into one squad under one coach, and although the boys who composed the Owlets were all inexperienced, after six weeks of practice and training, a winning combination was placed on the floor. The outstanding feature of the Owlets, perhaps, and the thing about them which impressed the fans, was their defense. Being below standard set by former Owlets in offensive, the team bent every effort to overcome this weak- ness by holding the opponents to a low score. McFaddcn and Moore, Freshmen; Ward, Aufderhcide and Walters, Sophomores; Fenton, Hazzard and Anderson, Juniors; and Brunow, Senior, made up the team and as all rated practically alike in ability, there was no regular linc-un. Ward, Hazzard, Moore and McFaddcn were guards, Brunow and Aufderhcide alternated at center while Fenton, Anderson and Walters took care of the forward position. The outstanding performance was the game with Mitchell which was won by the Owlets 17—15 after two overtime periods were played. At the start of the second semester the squads were divided and Coach M. E. Wooten took over the Second Team. He at once gained the confidence and respect of the team and school by his capable direction and leadership and won by large scores the majority of the games remaining on the schedule. Since only one man is lost by graduation, the Varsity is assured of a plentiful bunch of fine basketball athletes who will make strong bids for berths on next year’s five. Left to Right—Hunter, Fenlon. Hazzard, Wooten (Coach), Walters. Anderson, McFaddcn, Moore. ?27y7 77y yy 77777yz l Girls’ Basketball LAST fall when Miss Dryden issued the call for basketball girls, a large number responded. The girls were divided into teams with respect to classes. There were two Freshmen teams, two Sophomore teams, and a Senior team. After a little practice, an inter-class tournament was staged in which every team played every other team. These games were very satisfactory and the finals were played between the Sophomores and Seniors. The Sophomores won the right, in this game, to he called the “Champions of 1928.” There was a great amount of rivalry between the teams at all times and on several occasions curtain raisers were played between the class teams. The only outside game was played with the Scipio girls. When the basketball season ended, the girls were not willing to give up their regular practice in athletics so Miss Dryden consented to coach them in volley ball. The different classes formed teams and a spirited tournament was held. The volley ball season proved to be quite as successful as the basketball season. Rack Row—Huntcrman, I). Kysar, Robertson, M.

Wooten took charge of the thinlies during March, laid out an intensive training schedule, and developed a well-balanced team. Improvement on the track and the addition of more suitable equipment caused a greater interest in this sport than ever before. Large crowds were present at each meet held on the local field. A new school record of 10 feet 8 inches in the pole vault was set up by Forrest Kamman. Otto and HofTar also topped the previous record. Kurtz and Turmail sets new school time of 4:52 for the mile. Kamman, HofTar and Lange placed in the sectional at Bedford and made credit- able showings at the state meet on May 19.

This was the largest number of experienced men with which Coach Henderson ever started a season. Unfortunately pitchers were scarce and it was mid-season before he was able to develop capable pitching. Kurt was moved from catcher’s position to the rubber and did some stellar work on the mound. Though a few losses are present on the schedule, the season was among the best in school history.
