The person who is best equipped and prepared to give a life of maximum service to humanity is he, who throughout his childhood and youth has experienced a well-balanced interplay and cO ' Operation of Home, Church, and School to develop him to the maximum mentally, physically, and spiritually. With this in mind, the theme of this book has been developed by combining the three — Home, Church, and School— in Seymour, the City of Beautiful Homes. DEDIC- VTION FOUR years ago, when we entered Shields High School as freshmen, Norman J. Lasher came to Sey- mour to take up his work as Superintendent of the Seymour Public Schools. During this period Mr. Lasher has given his time and energy unstintingly to make Sey- mour ' s schools the very highest type. Due to his foresight and tireless endeavor our school system ranks with the best in the state, both in equipment and curriculum. To him whose radiant personality, fine character, and sacrificing loyalty to duty have endeared him in the hearts of the school and community, we, the Class of Nineteen Twenty-nine, do respectfully dedicate this book. To Shields High School ' Tis springtime and I think of parting ways. I think with pleasure of my Senior year — The closing of My Dear High School days With mem ' ries I shall ever hold most dear. And yet I am but as a grain of sand, Compared with all the others gone before. We represent our school in foreign lands; This makes its valuation ever more. For more than fifty years our school has stood. Some have found their place in halls of fame, And they in turn can look on their childhood And glory in The Dear Old High School ' s name. Hundreds have from its portals gone — And may the Class of Nineteen Twenty-nine, In honor of its founder gone beyond, So leave their footprints on the sands of time. May we its founder ' s efforts ever bless; We hope to use the knowledge gathered here As have the graduates of S. H. S., To honor him whose mem ' ry we hold dear. And thus we leave, as did the little class, The little Band of Eighteen Seventy-four; May we uphold the Banner as we pass, As did the others that have gone before. — Marjorie Browning ,r The History of Seymour EYMOUR was named for the civil engineer of the same name who superintended the construction of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, now the Baltimore and Ohio, from North Vernon, Indiana to St. Louis, Missouri. On April 27, 1852, Meedy W. and Eliza P. Shields laid out Seymour, which originally included the ground north of St. Louis Avenue, south of Fifth Street, east of Indianapolis Avenue, and west of Broadway. This was a sec- tion of ten blocks, containing one hundred lots. The ground on which Seymour now stands was acquired through a series of pur- chases and grants from the government by James Shields, Joshua Moore, and Charles Butler. A shoemaker, John Redinger, Sr., was among the first, if not the very first, of the actual settlers in the new town. Thomas McCoUum, Travis Carter, Dr. John T. Shields, Dr. Hagens, and E. Cobb were some of the pioneer settlers of our city. On November 11, 1852, Meedy Shields offered his lots for sale to the public, and bidders flocked to buy beyond his brightest hopes. In the summer of 1852, the Jeffer- son Indianapolis Railroad, now the Pennsylvania, was completed north of Rock- ford, which at that time was a thriving village of 500. An intense rivalry existed between the two new towns, and Rockford was successful in her attempt to persuade the railroad not to stop its trains at Mule Crossing , as Seymour was derisively called. This, however, did not have its desired effect, for the 0. M. laid its tracks through Seymour on June 29, 1854, and Captain Shields at the next session of the Legislature, of which he was a member, secured the passage of a bill compelling trains to stop at all railroad crossings. Thus the plans of Seymour ' s rivals were frustrated, and Seymour became the proud possessor of two railways. This marked the beginning of Seymour ' s rapid growth. In 1860 the thriving town boasted 924 inhabitants, and twenty-five years later it had grown into an enter- prising city with a population of 5,548. Today it has a population of 9,250. Seymour, from its birth, has always kept abreast of the times educationally, industrially, commercially, professionally, religiously, and socially. Mr. Shields, realizing the purport of the maxim, We must educate or we must perish, built Seymour ' s first school at the corner of Ewing and Fifth Streets in 1853. Other school rooms soon had their eager and devoted young students in different parts of the city. In 1857 the printing press made its debut in Seymour with the publication of the Times by Dr. Jasper R. Monroe. The citizens of Seymour were well aware of their spiritual needs, and liy 1870 nine churches were well established to contribute permanently to the character of its members. Since its founding in 1852, Seymour has shown a steady growth and develop- ment. From a small village surrounded by dense forests, it has changed into a city of beauty and importance. The hub of a rich agricultural community and equally prominent as a leading industrial center, Seymour merits its slogan, The City of Beautiful Homes. A J L DAVIS JOHN LYMfltMBLISH- f(: - p 1 Q .

Approxi- mately sixty years ago a distinguished and worthy citizen, Meedy W. Shields, saw for the youth of Seymour, the need of higher education and gave ths land where our own High School now stands. Only a lew of our oldest residents can remember the small two-story Irame structure where they strove to acquire, as we do now, a better educa- lion. We can readily see how jjroud the people of Seymour were of their first school and how grateful they must have been to the donor. As Seymour gr. ' w, tlie little two-story structure proved to be too small, and crowded conditions called for a bigger and better building. The second one, of red brick, was erected on the site of the piTsent building. The grounds were surrounded at this time by an old fashioned board fence. The school continued to grow and later an addition was made on the south side. In 1910 the building was condemned, torn down, and in its place arose a completely equipped modern building. This took care of Seymour ' s children until 1923, when an extensive building program was again under- taken and an addition, including six grade rooms and a gymnasiuiu which is also used for an auditorium, was built. In 1927 the grades were moved to the new Emerson school leaving this building for the Senior and Junior High School. Every citizen is proud of this structure as it stands today. Few schools can boast of as many varieties of shrubbery as that of the Shields High School lawn. We are greatly indebted to Mr. T. A. Mott, former Superin- tendent of Seymour Schools, for the beautiful landscaping. It speaks not only of money well spent, Ijut of tim? and civic pride as well. r6 ? , J, Lasher Superintendent Principal The School Board mwm - ( , llsM-- ■I ' . ' .

Jimiors E Juniors remember a beautiful September day in 1926, when our class for the first time assembled within the walls of Shields High School. It seems as if the glorious weather on that autumnal day was a good omen for us, for already in our Freshmen year many of our class began to show talents that connnanded attention from the faculty and the student body. We were proud of the fact that over half the band was composed of Freshmen and that quite a few of those in the orchestra and the glee clubs were members of our class. In our first year we also got a good start in athletics — girls as well as boys. Our Freshmen girls ' basketball team won the championship of that year. Botii our first year Latin contestants won in the county contest and one of them, Esther Ahlbrand, won in the district as well as in the state. Our Preshmen play Sauce for the Goslings elicited many favorable comments. In our Sophomore year we continued to take a deep interest in athletics, music, and other activities. Our girls ' team again won the basketball championship. Top Ron- — Stockamp. McClintock, Chenoweth, J. BruiKiw. Harluw. Ahlljran I. Aufderlieide. Bruce, Largent, Ward, Marling. Spurgeon, Rogers.

Quite a few members of our Junior Class have gained an enviable reputa- tion in the various musical departments. Two of our members, one regular and one sub, belong to the basketball team. We are proud that a Junior, Clarence Ward, is Captain of this year ' s football team. We are doing our best for you. Shields High, and we will strive to bring more glory to S. H. S. throughout our Senior year. One memorable day now gone three years; With sinking hearts, with doubts and fears. The Freshmen class came slowly in Their fighl for knowledge to begin. As Juniors now, they ' re fighting still. And toiling slowly up the hill. Oh, may they ever do their best. And gain at last their glorious quest! — Alma Miller BEAUTY AND THE OtAST riSHEdHANS LUCK 50S ,, 3s Z. •aiU The Sophomore Class IHE Sophomore class made its debut in Shields High in the fall of 1927. Perhaps we were hardly appreciated as we should have been during that year. We experienced some difficulty in acclimating ourselves because of the people and their customs. In spite of everything, however, some few optimists could see the promise of what we were to be because of unusual ability displayed by several members of our class. We upheld our honors in the school activities by obtaining high grades in the Latin contest. Mary Catherine Vehslage won the contest, first place in the local contest and represented us in the county meet. Even though the scholastic standards of the school were raised during our first year the mid-term honor roll contained many freshmen names. This year the sophomore class has its share of laurels. Our class members have become leaders in some of our more prominent school organizations in Shields High School. Many participated in the presentation of the operetta, Princess Bulbul.

We have had names of members of our class on every honor roll since we entered high school and a glance at the present honor roll will show that the sopho- more scholastic standing is very high. With our present accomplishments to our credit, we are anticipating and hoping for a brilliant record in the next two years. One of our members, Billy Hancock, is a very talented violinist. Last year he represented our school at Chicago in the National Orchestra, composed of representa- tives from schools all over the United States. While attending this meeting, the members had to practice from seven to nine hours a day. Several of our members have participated in various activities sponsored by the Music Department. Talent was shown, especially, in the operetta Princess Bulbul, when several of our Sophomores took part. The only girl in the Band, Bonita Collins, is from our ranks. Mildred Stewart won first place in the girls ' division of the flag contest and Raymond Due was second winner in the boys ' division. We are anticipating further honors in both State and National contests. : ?tes.,. THE LONG • SHORT OF IT SEEKEdS OP WISDOM RUBEN RUBEN WE BEEN THINKING Frc! 4 GROUP I.

A few weeks were spent in a study of the principles and fundamentals of car- pentry. Later through the co-operation of Mr. 0. C. Shannon, who supplied the lot and material, the class erected a modern English cottage. In this pr oject the boys gained first hand information concerning the method of construction, material used, relative costs, building terms, and the detailed planning of a house. Interior deco- rating and finishing were studied in a practical laboratory. Maurice Browning, a former Shields High student and practical and experienced builder, supervised most efficiently the work of the boys and directed the construction. The plans of the house were drawn and sketch made by F. Wm. Pruess of the Drafting class who is preparing himself for the profession of Architect. The house contains five commodious rooms and bath, a large basement, ample closet and chest space, a fire place and many built-in features. The masonry work, plumbing, and wiring were the only parts not done by the boys. This type of project has been attempted by only a few of the larger schools of the state and the experiment here proved its practicability. No attempt was made to make carpenters of the boys, the object being to acquaint them with first-hand knowl- edge of house planning and construction, costs, economy of construction, quality of a house, to the end that they may be better able to deal with these matters in- telligently. The house is to be used in the Better Homes Week Demonstration sponsored by the Kappa Kappa Kappa Sorority in conjunction with the National Better Homes Observance. The following boys made up the class: Bell, Blackall, Churchman, James, Mahorney, McCord, Nieman, Newkirk, Ruddick, Stanfield, White, Wright, Aufder- heide, and Ahlbrand. .,cv„,.

The meetings are held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Each pupil answers the roll by giving a quotation in keeping with the prepared program. The programs consist of two parts — literary and social. In presenting these programs, the pupils by the aid of class criticism have had opportunities to become more proficient in the use of correct English. The aims of the club have been to stimulate the pupils ' interest in the best litera- ture, and to create a desire for reading the highest type of literature.

At the initiation a very interesting and helpful talk was given by Mrs. Sandefur, Dean of the Sunshine Girls. Mrs. Sandefur ' s talk, No Parking , described the dangers of the detour, comparing the detour to the temptations of our life. This society was in charge of the Christmas Convocation, and at various times have assisted in public affairs.

The Sunshine Society will also be remembered by those who bought candy from the girls in the halls, before and after school, and for the Eskimo Pies at basketball games. The Mothers and Daughters banquet which is an annual affair, was a splendid success this year, in that it brought the mother and her daughter in closer contact and established a congeniality between them which is very necessary for intimate companionship. Helen Rogers was chairman of the banquet committee, Helen Hennessy, decora- tion, and Blanche Parker, the program. A one act play was presented by six girls in addition to talks and delightful special numbers. The Seymour Sunshine Society is honored to have one of its members a state officer. Miss Anita Brand is state secretary. Our organization sent three representa- tives to the Sate Convention at Crawfordsville, Alma Miller, Constance Osterman, and Anita Brand. It was voted to have the State Convention at Tipton next year. The officers for next year are Constance Osterman, President; Luella Heitkamp, Vice-President; Mentoria Eisner, Recording Secretary, and Alma Miller, Treasurer. The corresponding secretary will be elected from the coming freshman class. Miss Mary Lewis should be heartily congratulated on her efforts and loyal sup- port during this year of Sunshine work. Robert Brunow President Frank Edmondso.n Vice-President Mildred Miller Secretary Helen Rogers Treasurer Mr. Due Sponsor OINCE debating requires many extra hours of hard work, only those who love •- the game are asked to make the sacrifice. Shields High is a member of the Bedford, Martinsville. Seymour, and Washington Debating League, and every year has two teams in trim to hold its place in the association. The Debating Club, having some fifty members, is a wealthy source from which to draw the teams. This year the question for debate was: Resolved, That Congress should enact legislation providing for uniform marriage and divorce laws in the United States. The Affirmative was defended by Robert Brunow, Margaret Rogers. Alice Keith, and Charlotte Mitschke as alternate; while Frank Edmondson. Charles Brown. Ruth Scott, and Mary Catherine Vehslage formed the Negative team. Seymour captured second place with three victories and three defeats, the cup going to Bedford. In a match debate with North Vernon the local wranglers broke even with a victory and a defeat. Due to the heavy expense connected with debating, half of the money was raised by the club through suppers and a movie, and the school furnished the rest.

The meetings, taking place the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, always included, in addition to the business, a program or play hour, sometimes refreshments and party features. The organization became self-supporting by selling a shipment of Ready-Jell dessert. At the beginning of the second semester the club defined its purpose a little more clearly by choosing a name and motto. It voted to be called Sodalitas Minerviana (The Minerva Club). Minerva won recognition in the club name since she stands in a prominent place in the corridor of Shields High School and since, in Greek and Roman Mythology, she was the goddess of wisdom, while her favorite bird, the owl, reminds us of our own basketball champions. The motto chosen was Scientia per Laborem et Laetitiam (Learning Through Work and Fun). .r ' , ' 3; . ,■ ' , Frank Edmondson President Florence Eggers Vice-President Lavonne Kay Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Ocan Sponsor ' 11 ' HE Commercial Club consists of twenty-two members who are interested in ■ business affairs.

The club meets the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The aims of the club are to stimulate a greater interest in the Commercial Depart- ment and to increase the benefits to be derived from the study of commercial subjects. Each year the club sponsors a program of entertainment for the purpose of raising money to pay the expenses of those who represent the department in the Commercial Contest. Five teams entered the commercial contest at Madison. The two typing teams won first place and the bookkeeping and advanced shorthand teams won second.

' II ' HESE lines written by a nieniljer of the Noonday Club, are a good summary of - ' the club itself and the work it is carrying on. The club was first organized at the beginning of the school term in September, 1927. Its meetings are limited to the noon hour from which practice it derived its name. It was created for the convenience of those pupils from rural districts who find it impossible to remain after school hours, the regular meeting time for clubs. Since the membership consists chiefly of farm hoys and girls, they decided to make the object of their club a study of rural problems which confront the farmer of to-day and are waiting to be solved by the farmer of to-morrow. This course of action was heartily endorsed by Mr. Henderson, the club sponsor and teacher of agriculture. The work of the club members consists of oral reports taken from books on scientific farming and improvement and a discussion of the methods mentioned. Fol- lowing this, a part of the time is given to allowing different members to present their original ideas before the group. r , , Orchestra Billy Hancock President Donald Ernest Vice-President June Kasper Secretary-Treasurer Ephraim Harlow Librarian Margaret Rogers Assistant Librarian Francis Hall Accompanist Mary Alice Hollingsworth Director THE orchestra is composed of thirty members, who meet twice a week on Wednes- day evening at seven o ' clock and Monday the second and third periods. As a result of working pleasantly together this organization has made remarkable improvement. They have given convocation programs, played for class plays at various times during the year, and accompanied the operetta, Princess Bulbul , sponsored by the music department. On April 26 the orchestra took part in the orchestra contest at Bedford. Indiana. They also furnished the music for commencement. The orchestra is composed of many talented musicians, and has had a very pro- gressive and successful year. Standing — Turmail, Ross, Rogers, Miss Hollingsworth (Director), Hall.

Here conies the Band, a very loyal booster of school and all school activities. This organization is of several years standing, and a great progress is seen from year to year as the annual convocation program is rendered. A friendly school spirit is created among the pupils by this organization, and everyl concert rendered by its members is appreciated by all. The athletes all look forward to the support which they receive from the band, and are undoubtedly often fired with fresh zeal and fight by its stirring notes. This organization is very proud of the fact that two of its members represented Shields High at Indianapolis in the 1928 All State Band, composed of one hundred seventy-five talented musicians from high schools of Indiana. Such honor to an or- ganization and a school is the fruit of devoted application on the part of the director, Mr. A. L. Glaze, and the members. Although not pretentious, the Purple and White Band gives good account of itself. In the future may the Band of Shields High steadily increase in size and fame. r P-t J S ( J 0 ' (V Flohemce Eggers President Margaret Rogers Vice-President Phyllis Barnes Secretary-Treasurer Marian Gillaspy Librarian Evelyn Van Osdol iccompanist Mary Alice Hollinksworth Director THE Girls Glee Club is a very active branch of the music department, and has progressed rapidly under the capable supervision of Miss Mary Alice Hollings- worth. The club meets for practice on Thursday after school and Friday the second period. It represents the Shields High School girls who are interested in music. At the beginning of the first semester the goal of these girls was to memorize sufficient three part nmsic for a full evening ' s program. This ideal became a reality on Sunday evening, April 28, when the club appeared at the First Methodist Church in a beautiful program, made more effective by the simple costumes of white with the Shields emblem. In addition to this program the girls sang for convocation and spent many hours preparing the operetta Princess Bulbul. The select voices of this group together with the select voices of the Male Glee Club produced the music for the baccalaureate service held May 26. Through the production of fine music they have learned to apjjreciate and enjoy the art of singing. Top Row — Burcherding, Kay, Payne. M. Rogers, A. Kasting, Van Osdol, Kasper, Sweazy, Danneltelle.

The majority couldn ' t tell a rest from high C, or the difference between the treble and bass clefs. Under the able direction of Miss Hollingsworth this green aggregation emerged from comparative oblivion, and became one of the outstanding organizations of Shields High School. It took part in several convocation programs and sang at the banquet given for the Principals ' Association. Then as its crowning achieve- ment, in connection with the Girls ' Glee Club, it put on the tuneful and pretty oper- etta, Princess Bulbul , which is conceded to be one of the outstanding hits of the year. This organization has already done great things and can be expected to do greater things in the years to come. . r am never weary when I hear sweet music — Shakespeare Makjorie Miller President Amta Brand Vice-President Blanche Parker Secretary-Treasurer Arthur Lance Librarian Mary A. Hollingsworth Director Francis Hall Accompanist THE mixed chorus studies and sings four-part music. It devoted its time at the beginning of the year to preparing four selections assigned by the chairman of the State High School Chorus, in which a quartet composed of Marjorie Miller, Anita Brand, John Brunow, and Robert Brunow represented the school at the Indiana State Teacher ' s Association meeting held at Indianapolis in October. The mixed chorus sang in convocation for Thanksgiving and helped in an impressive service at Christmas time. At the beginning of the second semester the Mixed Chorus was reorganized by combining the Male Glee Club and Girls ' Glee Club, meeting once a week. Its highest accomplishment of the year was the production of the comic oper- etta, Princess Bulbul , which will long be remembered as the best musical pro- duction staged in Seymour.

Music the fiercest grief can charm And fate ' s severest rage disarm; Music can soften pain to ease And make despair and madness please. — Pope. ABOUT October first, one hundre I enthusiastic seventh grade boys and girls purchased V Hohner harmonicas. Within six weeks most of this group were ready to play Old Black Joe , and soon the better players were ready to play in four part harmony. Some of these have been able to produce a fine vibrato tone which very closely resembles the sweet muted tone of the violin. This happy group of musicians met each Friday at 3:20 to play the standard folk songs which have been es pecially arranged for the Harmonica in C. Interest was stimulated when Mr. Hartley, an artist in harmonica playing, came to the Shields High School and entertained them with both classical and popular numbers. An attractive part of the Christmas Candle Service was given by this organization. This was their first public appearance and its success caused them to work and prepare music for other occasions. In addition to the enjoyment derived from their Hohners, the young musicians learned to appreciate music through playing this simple and popular instrument. -■ rN..-.

Working diligently the first semester, the twelve members of the club, succeeded in completing the gigantic task of arranging and classifying the large Findlev Rider Collection of antiques, presented to the school by the 1928 Senior Class. In addition to this difficult undertaking, they launched a successful drive for a large museum case which was built in the trophy room, and which, at the present time, houses the greater part of the valuable collection. In January the museum was completed and presented to the school, affording Shields High School one of the largest and best equipped museums in Southern Indiana. At the beginning of the second semester, the portals of the club were thrown wide and ten members were taken in. The programs during the second semester were of an educational nature, dealing with the lives of eminent scientists and the foremost inventions of the present day. Several interesting trips we re afforded the members, impressing upon them the vital part that science is playing in the lives of the present generation, and ushering into the realm of their vision the immense changes of a scientific nature that may occur in the next few years.

The purpose of or- ganizing the club was to unite the girls in Shields High School who are particularly interested in Home Economics. It is the duty of the members to take charge of any banquets or dinners that the department may be asked to serve. As the club is the youngest in school, it has accomplished very little this year, but is planning to assume an important place in school life in the near future. Its work during the last few meetings has covered one of the most important topics in the textile industry, that of cotton. This, together with a few current events, con- stitutes the study, while the latter part of the meetings is devoted to programs given by members of the club. The girls are intending to sponsor an exhibit and tea some- time before the close of sch ool. The club ' s work committee is planning an interest- ing schedule for the future. On May 15th the organization intends to give a farewell party to its graduating members. It is sincerely hoped that the club will progress rapidly in carrying out the interesting program arranged for next year, and take its place among the school ' s well established clubs. Trov Blackall President Bob Chenoweth Vice-President Margaret Simpers Secretary THE Booster Club was organized at the beginning of the basketball season under the leadership of Mr. H. R. Noe. The name Hoot Owls was chosen and the purpose of the club was to boost all athletics of the school. The meetings were held in the form of a pep session on Friday at 12 :40, and were in charge of Troy Blackall and Bob Chenoweth, our efficient yell leaders. Sections A and B down- stairs and in the balcony were reserved for the Booster Club members who spurred the Owls to greater efforts by the snappy yelling. This is the largest Booster Club that has ever been organized in the history of the school. Three specials were run to Washington, Mitchell, and Scottsburg and on each of these the Booster Club was well represented. Top Row — Kurtz, Bruce, Rebber, Largent, Harlow. Seventh Roiv — Ringer.

' II HE Junior High School Booster Club was organized at the same time as the ■ Hoot Owls , with the same officers and later in the season was combined with the Senior Club. The Junior Club was well represented at the pep sessions on Friday, and its members were very loyal in their attendance at all games. They were always enthusiastic and helpful in all projects undertaken by the Club. This is the first Booster Club ever organized in Junior High, and has proved so successful that it will be re-organized every year in the future. Mr. Noe was also sponsor of this club and under his efficient direction its mem- bers became inoculated with the fire and enthusiasm of all true athletic fans. This spirit was manifest by their unfailing attendance at all basketball, football, baseball, and track contests and it is from the ranks of these loyal followers that our coaches expect to select the athletes to defend the honor of Shields High School. r , TWO ACT COMIC OPERETTA Music by If .

This presentation was pleasingly made under the capable direction of Miss Edna Remy. This play of American life tells the story of JVIarianna Miller and her sister, both of whom are working girls in New York City. The plot is concerned with Marianna ' s taking her sister up to a fashionable country home, where they get posi- tions as servants. There Marianna is able to foil the crooks who are trying to deceive the man she is in love with, and at the same time is enabled to show this man how lucky he is to get her for his wife.

This play was written for the stage by Edward Childs Carpenter from the novel by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Bab has to do with that girl ' s amusing efforts to make her family and friends take her seriously, Barbara Archibald (Helen Kasting) returns home unexpectedly from boarding school two weeks ahead of schedule and proceeds to stir up the family. Within a fortnight she has upset the marital plans of her debutante sister and in- vented a love affair for herself which, made to appear more serious than it really is, sets the family by the ears.

At the beginning of the second semester the club ' s leader, Elvin Barnett, left us to take up a position on the Shelbyville school faculty and our new leader, Ernest Smith, from Algonac, Michigan, succeeded him. At the beginning of the year only eight former members remained, but several inductions brought twenty new members into the club, so that it is now of standard size and representative of all classes. In February, 1925 the local Hi-Y was organized, with a membership of twelve boys. It is a branch of the Young Men ' s Christian Association, and its pur- pose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. It follows this rule rigidly, and heartily supports every movement of a worthy nature. Several interesting and highly instructive lectures were given to the boys by members of the faculty during the year, while at other meetings reviews of current topics and open forum discussions on miscellaneous subjects furnished attractive programs. On April 12 and 13, the district Hi-Y Conference met at Seymour, with the local Hi-Y acting as host. This proved very beneficial to all delegates, both from an enter- taining and educational standpoint. Hi-Y activities in the district were discussed and ideas exchanged by the boys and their leaders. r : C ; - _-.fe _ William Largent President Junior Steinkamp Vice-President Ruth Veal Secretary-Treasurer Miss Vehslace Sponsor THERE was doubt about the organization of a History Club last September when school began, because very few came into the club. But at the second meeting the number of members was greatly increased. It has developed to a great extent; its purpose is the promotion of interest in history and current events other than that acquired in the class room. Anyone interested in history is eligible. Many interesting talks have been given by the members. These talks dealt not only with our country, but also foreign countries. The topics for study are given special attention because time does not permit their discussion in the regular curri- culum of study. Every person has his place on the program. Sometimes instead of two or three persons giving long talks each person would answer the role call with a short current event. The Club has been so busy with history that there has been very little time for social events. But as one social feature the club enjoyed a very nice St. Patrick ' s party. Top Row — Largent, Cox.

' II ' HE Girls ' Sponsors are representatives elected from each class, who, together ■ ' with the Dean of Girls, Miss McHenry, discuss and decide the problems that come up during the school year. They help the girls set high moral and enduring social standards that can be profitably followed throughout life. They are interested in every girl ' s problems, and are always ready io lend a helping hand. Their aim is to teach each girl to be mutually helpful instead ot critical with one another. Each girl is made to feel her responsibility toward setting and keeping the standards of Shields High School at the highest mark. Speakers who are reputed for their thorough understanding of girls ' problems, and who are trained and well versed in girls ' work are secured to lecture at the meetings. Their influence often changes the girls ' views of life, and causes some to pursue an entirely different path in life. Why the Chimes Rang , a one act Christmas play, was presented by the sponsors at the December meeting, and on the night of April 30, they, together with the dean, entertained with a Mothers ' Day program, the mothers of all the girls. On April 16, Mrs. Beulah E. Eckert, special representative of the Wm. H. Block Company, spoke to the girls on Suitable Dress. Her pleasing personality, charm- ing manner, and suitably chosen dress will long be remembered by the girls. n.C . Tv u ■- ..Mt ' -, j Alfe ' ■--. ' II ' HERE comes a time in our future years, when with joy we recall memories of - ' our student life, and it is always a pleasure to have something tangible to refer to. The Patriot of 1929 fills just such a place. The Patriot Staff introduced a new color system, and chose a distinctly new and different theme, thus making the hook a happy reminder of home, church and school. It records the activities and clubs of Shields High, and helps the reader see the social life which is written between the harder hours of study. Members of the Staff have worked untiringly to present a high class year- book to the public, and have tried to personifv the real true high school spirit.

OHIELDS High School has created for herself a place in - the football world by completing one of the most suc- cessful seasons that she has ever experienced. We were very fortunate to secure for our football coach, Babe Wlieeler of Purdue. Under his exacting training the team has de- veloped into a victorious eleven. The squad was selected from candidates who numbered five veterans and a large number of recruits. After much careful weeding out and hard training upon the part of the recruits, Coach Wheeler placed a precise and agile squad upon the gridiron. Although the first game proved a defeat for the Purple and White, it influenced them to settle down to persistant and intensive training to overcome their op- ponents in the remaining tilts. Hunter. Imlay. Payne, Lange. McFadden. McCord ti eTfef ' -McConu Pai- Waiid The Bloomington game, which ended in a close defeat for Seymour, was the hardest fought game of the season and it proved the worth of the Shields Eleven. The loss of three games this season compared with the losses of previous years is not unfavorable. That our hoys could hold that line was evidenced by the two tied games and small margin defeats recorded in the season ' s summary. This year ' s eleven was capably piloted by captains Rebber of the line, and Ward of the backfield. The squad loses two members by graduation, but most of the team will remain, making the prospects for next season un- usually bright. These men composed ihe varsity eleven: Ends — Rebber and O ' Neill. Guards — Nolting and Imlay. Center — Aufderheide. Tackles — Payne and Williams. Quarterback — Hun- ter. Halibacks — Ward and Lange.

' HEN Coach Babe Wheeler, Seymour ' s elected Owl mentor for the season of 1928-1929, issued the first call for basketball candidates, he was rewarded by the appearance of six sweater and two letter men. Although Coach Wheeler was a stranger to the men, he soon won their friendship and confidence, and in this way was able to swiftly whip into shape a stellar squad of men. The team as a whole were wonderful sportsmen, fighting hard until the last gun was fired. Their record speaks for itself, showing defeats only to the best teams in this part of the state. The hardest fought and most exciting game of the season was played at Bedford during the Regional Tourney held there, when the Owls piled up a lead of twelve points against the Stonecutters in the first twenty minutes of play, losing it only through injuries to Baise and Rebber, which necessitated their removal from the game in the last few minutes, thus seriously weakening the team. Coach Wlieeler is already looking forward to a winning team next year. Even though four regulars and one reserve are lost by graduation, there is a wealth of material available. There are five Owls who will be eligible — Aufderheide, McCord, McFadden, Payne, and Walters, while the Owlets will contribute nine aspirants for the varsity, Abraham, Churchman, Goens, Hazzard, Henderson, Hunter, Lahne, Moore and Rebber. With this wealth of material. Coach Wheeler feels very safe. r A- A ;..Cg« ' %_ 11 THROUGHOUT the past 1928-1929 basketball season it has been the duty of the Owlets to act as cannon-fodder, to the varsity. Evening after evening these men have drilled and fought, with and against. Coach Wheeler ' s crack squad and much credit is due these plucky men in giving Seymour a winning team throughout the past season. Fans were looking for a fast and snappy Owlet squad this year. They were not disappointed for the boys trying very hard to sustain the confidence placed in them by the fans surpassed all expectations. Great credit is due Coach Sigmon, who soon after assuming leadersJiip of the Owlets, gained their confidence and trust. Coach Sigmon soon had a clean group of fighters before the eyes of the Fans. The boys contribute their success to his unfailing work. Since the Owlets lose only one man by graduation, Coach Wlieeler will have a great number of experienced men to draw from next year as all will make strong bids for berths on the varsity. Through the fast and snappy work of each of these men it has been hard to dis- tinguish the ability of each and it has kept the fans wondering just who will be the ones to climb a step nearer their goal ( the varsity I next season. It all remains to be proven in the future, as not one of them has shown a blank in form or ability during the past season. Top Row — Coach Wheeler, Assistant Coach Baise.

Here they are — the Shields ' Wheelermen, each a valuable spoke to the hub in making a strong durable wheel. Here you have in each a characteristic pose and expression. In each face you find a smile of victory or a frown of determination, one that has been seen on the face of each at many times throughout the past basketball season. Coach Wheeler ' s combination of both is indefinable but is characteristic of him who has borne the brunt of defeat and the compensations of victory. On him has depended the durabil- ity and strength of our wheel, and now to him do we tender our most hearty and affectionate praise and thanks. ' ,- iK: ' kii THE girls ' basketball season began after the Christmas holidays, with about fifty girls responding to the call. These girls were grouped into various class teams, forming two Freshmen teams, one Sophomore, two Junior and one Senior. Keen competition existed among these teams throughout the season. At the close of the season a class tournament was held. The honors of this tournament were carried off by the Sophomore team, captained by Vera Daugherty. In a hotly con- tested game the winning team successfully disposed of Alma Miller ' s Junior team in the finals. The girls chosen to captain the various class teams were: Freshmen, Mary Jean Aufderheide and Mentoria Eisner; Sophomore, Vera Daugherty: Juniors, Alma Miller and Muriel Kruwell; Seniors, Gertrude Wilde. These girls helped to make the season a successful one by their co-operation and enthusiasm. It is hoped that next vear a more definite schedule of class games can be ar- ranged, whereby each team can play every other team. Much interest and keen competition was exhibited during the past season. Top Row — Ackeret, Sparks, McGinnis. Wince. Gill, Bell, Eisner. Green, Elsea, Decker. Second Rotv — Carter, Halstead, Parker.

A SPECIAL squad of eighteen girls was chosen by Miss Dryden to play several • - ' •-outside teams. On February 2, they defeated the Brownstown girls, and on February 16 lost by a small margin to the strong Butlerville team. Very keen inter- est was shown in these games. Plans for a heavy schedule for next year are being arranged. The basketball season afforded the girls wholesome and healthful recreation. It is hoped that next year there will be just as much interest and enthusiasm as during the past season. The girls worked hard and developed fine team work. Since this was the first time in a number of years that outside teams were played, an entirely new team had to be developed. Only two girls will be lost by graduation, so with next year ' s additions there will be a group of experienced girls ready to play worthwhile games. THE baseball candidates numbered under their rostrum this year several veterans and the seasons prospects were unusually good. The veterans combined with the recruits proved to be all that Shields High fans wished for. Coach Henderson placed Moore upon the mound and he did some stellar pitching. Clark Hunter captained the Purple and White nine for the season, designating his ability as a leader. The team ' s worth is shown by the victories accredited them and 1929 will always be a bright spot in Shields Highs baseball history. SEASON ' S SCHEDULE Seymour 17 — Edinburg . Seymour 8 — Tampico .

Smith made a very creditable showing. Shields High athletic fans recognize track as one of the most widely acclaimed sports because of the high physical ability, moral courage, and keen wit, that track requires of the participant. The fans were not disappointed by the points of the game and the defeats that were recorded were counter-balanced by the points of the Shields High boys which closely rivalled those of the victorious opponents. Baise established a new school and Hi-Y record in the high jump of 5 ft.. 9 ins. Lange placed first in the sectional by running the 440-yard dash.

H. S., and it is with pardonable pride that we view the long succession of year-books produced by the Senior Classes of the past years. In after years each page of this book will be a memory of Happy School Days, and its value as a keepsake will increase as years come and go. We wish to congratulate the Staff on their splendid work, and believe that a book has been produced which will rank with the best of preceding volumes, and which records in a spicy and effective manner the events and personages of the class of 1929. Congratulations. FRANCIS M. EuDaly, Editor 1923 Palriol. Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine: It gives me greatest pleasure as an alumnus of Shields High School to extend greetings to the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine. The class of Nineteen Hundred dnd Twenty-Two, of which I was a member, dedicated the Patriot of that year, To Shields High School whose influence has left on our lives a lasting impression for good and whose associations have inspired in us a sincere loyalty. After the passing of seven years that influence is still a potent factor and the associa- tions that inspired loyalty are still effective, being again exemplified in your class. The achievements recorded in this fine year-book have not been surpassed by any other class. You are to be congratulated for carrying on the traditions of sportsmanship, scholarship and fellowship for which Shields High School has ever stood. Fortified with these weapons the world should give you prosperity, content- ment, and happiness. That this reward shall be the portion of each and every mem- ber of the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine is my earnest desire. Sincerely, Robert H. Barbour. Dear Patriot Staff: I wish to extend my heartiest congratulations to you on the 1929 Patriot. This book is a fitting memorial to the accomplishments of the Senior class, which has faithfully done its share in maintaining and upholding the honor of Shields High School. I also take pleasure in extending greetings to the school and faculty, whose work lias helped make this book what it is. Seymour has had a fine record during the past year, both athletically and scholastically. You may be sure that no matter where I may be. Shields High School will always have my support in whatever it undertakes. Sincerely, Homer Due. To the Patriot Staff: I can well appreciate your last minute anxiety as you strive to make your Patriot the best that Shields High School has ever published. It must be the best for it is the one tangible record of its achievements your class may leave behind. Of course, the greater part of the work and responsibility rests with the Staff — but your reward is in doing that work so well that it will be an honor to you as well as to your class. r Si? te«k ' Shields High School has always been noted for its beautiful and really fine year- books. I can only hope that this year ' s annual will uphold that reputation by being the best that has been produced in Seymour. Good luck, Patriot Staff — and Senior Class. Ruth Blumer, Editor, 1925. To the Students of Shields High School : ou have asked me to write a letter for this year ' s Patriot, and while I feel greatly honored by the invitation and deeply thrilled as I start to write it, for I be- lieve we all have an everlasting spark of patriotism for dear old S. H. S.. still I hardly know where to begin or what to say. These eight years have meant so much to me — 1 can hardly realize the time has been so short. And I also know, but unfortunately not from experience, that they have meant much to you. The school is bigger, the facilities greater and the activities much broader and more varied than when I was a student. The community and patrons are to be congratulated. Consequently, you of ' 29 and future years will have a distinct advantage over us of ' 21 when vou graduate and go out into the world. There is one thought, however, that I should like to leave with you. You are now students, but not for long. Whatever task is assigned you to do, either while you are in school or after you are out, whether it be the simplest possible or the greatest, apply yourself to it and do it well. For it follows, as the night the day, that when a simple, menial task is done well the doer is invariably called upon to do a greater, bigger thing. In other words, careful steps on little stones will eventually reach the land — of success. With sincerest best wishes always, Frank K. Miller. A letter from The Patriot! ' There must have been something magic about it, for it brought with it a flood of memories of the days when the class of 1920 reigned in the halls of S. H. S. The class plavs — our Junior banquet — Christmas bazaars — basketball games — coming to school and findng our books stacked — long, and too often lazy, hours in assembly room — and above all, the horde of memories that center around getting out The Patriot! And, since the letter said tell about your work, I thought of how similar all that scramble of taking care of the details of The Patriot ' is to the work I do every day. If you people who toiled on The Patriot staff want to turn your experience to practical account, let me recommend advertising as your future vocation. If you ' re hardened to working against time, with the presses ravenously wait- ing — if you ' ve cajoled and threatened people who are late with copy — if you ' ve known that dull sinking feeling that comes when thoughts desert you and moments are precious — if you can compromise with temperamental engravers — and you ' ve surely learned all those things with The Patriot, then you ' ve had a taste of what life is in an advertising office. The chief difference I can tliink of just now is tlial when The Patriot is once off your hands, you can sink back and rest on your laurels — while newspapers are published every day and are insatiable in their demands for advertising. It ' s fasci- nating work, though — and if you acquired a taste for printer ' s ink during your hours on The Patriot staff, you might continue to indulge your appetite in the advertis- ing world.

' ) Greetings and congratulations To the class of 1929! We glory in your every effort That carried you across the line. Prickly thorns and pretty Bowers Both you met along your ways, As you frolic thru youth ' s meadows During those dear high school days. May those pleasant memories linger, And, when youth has been outgrown. Be like strains of distant music, Sad but soothing in its tone. AHLBRAND CHEVROLET CO.
