ft f , 4VA TAVAVAVAVA1 THE PATRIOT of Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of SHIELDS HIGH SCHOOL Al • ROGtBS Allan County Public Lfbnjy ft. Wayne, Inting FOREWORD RECORD of Shields High School life during the year 1929- 1930! We are glad to have the events of this year in printed IHf l form, to which we can turn whenever we please. ■ « ll May this hook give pleasure to all into whose hands it happens to fall, but we trust that to the pupils of Shields High School every picture may recall some happy memory or merry incident. As you are gleaning pleasure from this Patriot , may you somehow feel the very spirit of Shields High School, and at the same time realize how our school has given us opportunity to develop ourselves mentally, physically, and social- ly, and thus helped to equip us for life. With this purpose in view, we have greatly enjoyed publishing ' The Patriot of 1930. r . ROG-E «S DEDICATION HY is it that we treasure reminiscences of our high school days? Everyone will answer that it is because of the friend- ships formed both with the students and with the teachers. We have enjoyed each other ' s companionship, and out of it have grown the numerous little incidents that make our four years in high school so intensely interesting and pleasant to recall. Even after we have graduated, our school spirit will never en- n. noi;£«s When you ' re gone and feeling lonely, And you ' re wishing that you only Once again might see the faces Of your schoolmates now so near; See them nod in friendly greeting, And that smile so sweet though fleeting, Things that set your heart to beating, As they did when you were here. Turn the pages of your Annual, Where your friends, Don, Dick, or Daniel Look up from the printed pages with their Youthful trusting eyes; Look at all the clubs and classes, Stately lads and pretty lasses. Till the longing gently passes To a dream that never dies. So this book will be a treasure. Giving only joy and pleasure. In recalling to your mind the dreams Of many a happy day. Though you come to your December, It will help you to remember, Till the last, bright, glowing ember Dies so silently away. -Alma Miller School SHIELD ' S HIGH SCHOOL SONG MlS y - -m ' tr Kth Saiocl , dp - incur Y, S h School , 1 1C - to y IS ■Fly yours .

This amounts on the average to about S200 a year for four years, and in addition there is a loan fund from which the students may bor- row, if it is necessary. Robert Brunow was awarded the scholarship last year. The Blish-Thompson Scholarship to Yale amounts to $700 for four years. It is open to any boy who is interested in science work. It is not being used at the present. Hanover College offers two scholarships, each worth S75 a year for four years, to two boys who stand in the upper tenth of the class in scholarship. The Hanover Scholarships have not been used during the past year by any Seymour student. The Indiana and Purdue scholarships cover all college fees for one year. These scholarships are given by the state to the boy or girl having the highest grade of all the applicants in the county. Charlotte Mitschke obtained the Indiana scholarship last year. The Franklin Scholarship amounts to 8200 for one year. Noble Foster received this scholarship in 1929. The local Tri Kappa Scholarship consists of a loan of S150 without interest. This was awarded to Dawn Trueblood last year. The state Tri Kappas offer a scholarship of S250 I not a loan I . Alice Kieth won this scholarship in 1929. This is the last year that the John Herron Art Institute is offering a scholar- ship of. $150. In the class of 1929. Mildred Miller won this scholarship. ii nun History of the Senior Class BOUT one score less three years ago our fathers founded upon this earth a group of squalling infants who were, in the course of time, destined to become one of the outstanding classes of Shields High School, the Seniors of 1930. It is found that the Seniors are the most outstanding students in any school. This is probably due to the fact that they have one pecularity, that of habitually leaving the school every year. This, of course, should make them very popular, as they give the lower classes a chance for something bigger and better. January and September of 1926 saw the annual inveiglement of Freshmen through the historic portals of our institution of profound knowledge. The Freshman is the one individual who may be singled out in any school. For three weeks after his en- trance he pursues his uncertain migrations through the halls, overcome by perplexity, his face bearing a mystified expression. However, through the long years we have survived, gradually rising in the scale of human intelligence. When the transition from Freshman to Sophomore was made, it removed that feeling of utter inferiority of the Freshman that is counterbalanced only by his na- tural animation and light-heartedness. The time had come for us to assert our rights, as far as Sophomores are able, and to look down, in turn, upon the entering Fresh- men, now known as worthy Juniors. Ah, the day when we were finally classed as Juniors — that is a blissful remem- brance with us! We were approaching that pinnacle of greatness, that superior in- telligence, that state of being shrouded in the mysteries of great wisdom, that entity symbolic of the ultimate that is exemplified bv the Senior. The leaders of the Junior class chosen were Esther Ahlbrand. President: Harvid Nolting, Vice-President; Jimmy Walters. Treasurer; and Phyllis Barnes. Secretary. Our Junior year was marked by two social functions; namely, the Junior Party and the Junior-Senior Banquet. The former was held in the Community Room of the First National Bank with Miss Rhine, our sponsor, as chaperon. The Junior- Senior Banquet, with a Japanese Garden theme throughout, was considered a decided triumph. None of us who were on the decorating committees will ever forget those combination business and social meetings at which we made numberless wistera. Then came the attainment of the highest place, that of Seniors. We took our new positions of respect and authority with a certain air of nonchalance, the product of many previous gains in power. The organization of the Senior Class resulted in the choosing of Jimmy Walters, President; Ruth Gordon Scott, Vice-President; Frank Churchman. Treasurer; and Joe Aufderheide, Secretary. Our supreme achievement and the only lasting thing that will remain as a remem- brance to the Senior Class of 1930 is the Patriot. Into this we have put our mightiest efforts, and we hope they will last through the ages. We, as Seniors, bid Shields High School, which has nursed us through four years of adolescence, a hearty farewell, treasuring our loud reminiscences as we hope you will our Patriot.

Our class history is accordingly a record of our activities since we entered Shields High School. You will remember that there are two kinds of his- tory, primary and secondary. This class history falls under the primary division, since to our surprise no written records of our Junior Class could be found, and so the following facts were all obtained at first hand. Therefore, you may rest assured of their absolute truthfulness and accuracy. Very early in our career, geniuses in their particular lines began to appear. For some, the language of Caesar had its appeal, Grace Persinger and Mary Catherine Vehslage winning their way to the County Latin Contest. One member of our class, Harvey McCord, began his brilliant basketball career when only a Freshman. An- other, Billy Hancock, because of his outstanding musical talent, was chosen a mem- ber of the National Orchestra in Chicago. In our Sophomore year, even more students worthy of honor appeared. Two of our number. Mildred Stewart and Raymond Due, won honors in the Flag Contest. Alberta Kasting won the District Latin Contest and also placed high in the State. Our girls proved their ability in basketball by winning the interclass tournament of that year. Debating began to interest our members. One Sophomore, Margaret Rogers, was chosen on the Debating Team and three of our class are now on the team. Three certainly is our number, for three Juniors, Harvey McCord, Roy McFadden, and Harry Payne, are on the varsity basketball squad and have still another year in which to do honor in basketball. Football also was an attraction for us and seems to have a growing interest in the school. Again we must mention the Latin Contest. Mildred Stewart won first in the dis- trict this year, and her fortune in the state is yet to be determined. Margaret Rogers placed first in both local and county oratorical contests, and won second place in the district. One of the outstanding events of the year was the Junior Class Plav, The Mummy and the Mumps . It was the first play in this school to be coached by Mr. Hall, our new teacher in dramatics. Fveryone was eager to see how it would go off , and when the play had been given, it was pronounced a success, Mr. Hall having dis- covered heretofore hidden talent in the class from comedian. Raymond Veal, to an efficient sheriff, impersonated by William Fox. Our Banquet was a wonderful success. The Juniors and Seniors spent an entranc- ing evening on Treasure Island. The cool effect of a forest was obtained by palm trees and foliage which enclosed the banquet floor. The officers chosen to serve the class were Grace Persinger, President; Harvev McCord, Vice-President; Raymond Due, Secretary; and Blanche Parker. Treasurer. Mr. Wheeler was elected sponsor by the class. We. as Juniors, are looking forward to the time when we shall be Seniors. Of course, we will be loath to leave the halls of dear old S. H. S., but we believe that we will be better prepared for life becuase of our high school training. ophomores MM mWWE Kenneth Goens Lois Deats Melvin Rebber Mary Jean Aufderheide Maurice Hudson iolet S ince Opal Black Francis Fox Helen Gill Kenneth Bowman Anna Richart Harley Covert Harold Borcherding Dorothy Tower Roland Beldon Dorothy Harlow Lawrence Mclntvre Cletis McPike Lila Heiwig Robert Nicholson Mary Rose Sciarra Chester Helmbrecht Lois Robbins Lyston Dreese Billy Clark Wilma Taylor Bernard Owens irginia Green Don Mills Bollinger Mildred McConnell Mentoria Eisner William Lee Ruth Tracey Rosa Dowell James Compton Jean Linke Fedele Sciarra Helen Weasner Dorothy Carter Hubert Ashcraft Ruth Rinehart Ruth Fox Harold Stanfield Mary Frances Campbell Myrtle Trowbridge Elsie Mae Loertz Josephine Richart Edna Faye Mclntvre Pauline Cox Lucille Hodapp Adela Lange John Mize Alberta Early James Weaver Martha Mundy Robert Heiwig Alice Bell ■ - SMS Allan Brackemyre Matilda Toborg Olen Steinwedel Bernice Swengel Morton Lester Erma Story Anna Hackman Woodrow Cook Willa Swengel Charles Roeger Lucille Olmstead Alfred Brand Robert Hall Margaret Coryell Holmes Hunsucker Lillie Ahlbrand Peter Maschino Dorothy Ahlbrand Margaret Droege Delbert Hoffmeier Olive Innis Lynn Kasting Esther Wilkins Charles Koerner Henry Decker Geraldine Bowman Harold Hoffmeier Elsie Olinger Kenneth Wright Bernice Mulliken Ruth Horning Morris Hughes Emogene Hunt Charles Reinbolt Bernice Loper Roger Ruddick Augustine Allegro Mildred Bedel Harold Chambers Dorothy Everliart Osborne Prewitt Zella Keith Helen Jane McGinnis Bertha Jennison Etheline Peregrine Vera Osterman Opal Wieneke Mary Ackeret S ilma Kruse Ruth Booker Carol Dena Miller Jessie Gorbett Thomas O ' Conner Ethel Swengel Erma Kasting Doris Smith % ' I f Blflf!f!S!9 History of the Sophomore Class T doesn ' t seem possible that almost two years have elasped since we. the members of the Sophomore Class, with wildly beating hearts and trembling knees walked over the so-called bridge of sighs to Shields High School. XX e tried to appear unconcerned but our grand air broke before the ridi- cule of the upper classmen. The first davs were rather difficult, but graduallv we became accustomed to the new faces, new ideas, new systems, and new teachers and soon felt at home. W e were willing to work and started out to conquer the difficulties that beset our pathway. The months were g enerouslv sprinkled with night work, tests, and fun. X e enjoyed the football games and were astonished bv the hair raising acrobatic movements of the cheer leaders. Five of our members were substitutes on the foot- ball team. X hen the basketball season came, two Freshmen were chosen on the second squad. Three of our girls were named on Miss Dryden ' s first squad. The Christmas holiday was a jovous time, marred onlv by the shadow of mid- term exams. The names of many Freshmen appeared each six weeks on the honor roll. XX e were well represented in the various clubs of the school. Fiftv per cent of our class joined the English Club, as they realized the importance of being proficient in the use of good English. So our first year in dear old S. H. S. was finished. AX e felt proud and triumphant because we had overcome the mvsterious X. . and Z s and had conquered the Latin verbs. After an enjoyable vacation we. proud and confident, again crossed the bridge as real full-fledged Sophomores. AX e laughed heartily at the new Freshies . gayly for- getful of the fact that only a short vear before the same appellation was hurled at us. This vear we have fought with Caesar in the Gallic AX ars and feel like AX orld AX ar veterans, having subdued so many foreign tribes. Geometry has also furnished us with an abundance of brain food, and we have become acquainted with a number of the best stories of English and American writers. This year our class has shown an intense interest and made a good showing in athletics. Kenneth Goens. the fast midget forward from the Sophomore Class, made the first team. The Sophomore boys captured the inter-class tournament. They defeated the Freshmen in a thrilling double overtime and then swamped the Juniors, conquerors of the Seniors. Several of the Sophomore girls were on the girls basketball team and participated in the games with other schools. XX e have made only a good beginning. AX e eagerly anticipate a more brilliant record in the remaining half of our high school career. If none of our class mem- bers has his name- on the Shields High School walls of fame, we will be satisfied if. when we leave our dear old S. H. S.. it can be said of us. Thev have plhved the Game.

However, we do wish to disclose some of our heretofore unknown and unsuspected qualities and thereby elicit some stray crumbs of sympathy from all the dignified personages who, incredible as it may seem, were once but humble Freshmen, even as we. Immediately upon our entrance into Shields High School, we wanted to partici- pate in the various activities which create and encourage school spirit. This desire to become a part of the school probably accounts for the fact that Freshmen are so well represented in all our clubs and other outside activities. However, this does not mean that we came to school solely in search of pleasure, for we have ample proof to the contrary. For instance, the Freshmen honor roll was larger than that of any other class. Another example is that of the Latin Contest, in which considerable interest was shown by the Freshmen. Those winning in the locals were Melba Ahl- brand. Sophia Demas. and Vivian Stewart. Melba Alilbrand also took first place in the county and second in the district. If you still persist in calling us green, you will have to admit we are of a decidedly bright shade of green. We are proud of the fact that our two representatives in the Popularity Contest, Sophia Demas and Melba Ahlbrand. took high honors, claiming first and second places among all the contestants. Mr. Wheeler tells us that we have excellent material for future football and basketball heroes among the boys of our class. Although none have been so fortunate as to make the first teams this year, we are sure that many former Freshie names will be among the Yea Rahs next year. The girls basketball teams, captained bv Lora Wilde and Josephine Deputy, have made a fine showing for their first year. With the natural improvement which comes with continued practice, they should be able to capture the cup sometime before they graduate. Quite a few Freshmen are also responsible for the noise, music, queer sounds, or what have you, emitted every fifth period on Tuesday and Friday from Room 16. We hesitate in mentioning this fact for fear there might be some unappreciative per- son who is so fortunate as to have a class within wave length of said room on said day at said time and who will not consider this an admirable quality. So many Freshman girls joined the Glee Club that Miss Hollingsworth found it necessary to divide the club and to form a separate organization for Freshman and Sophomore girls. Mr. Noe acted as our faculty sponsor throughout this our first year in Shields IIil ' Ii School. I In- girls selected a- their sponsors Ruth Eggers and Dorothj Spray. We have mentioned only our outstanding qualities and only the most important incidents of our Freshmen year. No doubt many of our classmates could make numerous additions to the list. However, we shall be content with the few. and we sincerely hope that, as the years roll by, our class will continually improve until we reach the glorious climax of our day of graduation.

Hi Y Club John Hughes President Raymond Due First Vice-President Charles Williams Second Vice-President Troy Blackall Secretary-Treasurer Harvid Nolting Member-at-Large Roy McFadden Member-at-Large Mr. Mitchell Sponsor II ' HE Hi-Y Club is one of the most outstanding clubs in the school. Instead of - - being merely a social organization, the club has taken part in many constructive movements which tend toward a better high school and community. The first big event of the year was a Father and Son Banquet given in the High School Gymnasium, October 22, 1929. This banquet was the largest of its kind ever held in Jackson County, having had an attendance of two hundred and fifty- seven Hi-Y boys, scouts, and fathers. The Southern Indiana Older Boys Conference was held at Columbus this year, November 29 to December 1. Practically all the members of the Seymour Hi-Y attended the opening banquet, but a delegation of six, namely, Mr. Mitchell, John Hughes. Troy Blackall. Ronald Borcherding. Delbert Hoffmeier, and Morris Hughes, stayed throughout the conference. Mr. Mitchell, the Hi-Y sponsor, was chairman of the County Tuberculosis Associa- tion, and he enlisted the aid of the Hi-Y Club in this project. The club as a whole bought a five dollar bond, payable in Christmas seals. The boys did their part in spreading Christmas cheer by helping some of the needy families in Seymour. ' By the courtesy of Mr. Dushane. superintendent of the Columbus schools, the Seymour Hi-Y had a swimming party at the Columbus High School swimming pool. In March a delegation was sent to the District Hi- Convention at Madison. Indiana, where Seymour received the bid for the District Hi- Track Meet. Teams from all over the county came to partake in the contest. Then in April the Seymour Hi-Y Club undertook to put on an Older Boys ' and Girls ' County Conference. As this had been tried onlv once before in the state, it was a new adventure. The club organized a gospel team and visited every high school in the county, giving them an idea of what the conference would be like and inviting them to come to it. The Sunshine Club of Sevmour worked with the Hi-Y Club in connection with the conference and did a lot towards making it a success. Mr. Duke, representing the State Y. M. C. A., also helped put the conference over. Then on April 25, afternoon and night, the Jackson County Older Boys ' and Girls ' Conference was held. It was a real success with an attendance of over one hundred fifty. The main speakers were: Miss Truly Fosbrink. Waldron. Indiana: Rev. 0. W. Fifer, Indianapolis: Mrs. Urith Daily Gill, Indianap- olis; and R. J. Duke. Assistant State Y. M. C. A. Secretary. Robert Simpson, of Columbus, was song-leader. Practically every school in the county responded, help- ing to make the conference a success. The Hi-Y Club of 1930 has set a precedent for the future clubs to follow. Without doubt the Hi-Y Club of Shields High School has been and will continue to be one of the most active clubs in Southern Indiana. Top Rote — McFadden. O ' Conner. Williams. Lasher. Droege.

The meetings were held weeklv. This year the meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month. Now the club consists of twentv-three members who are interested in the studv of American and English literature. The aims of the club are to increase the pupils interest in the best literature, to create a desire to read poetrv. and even to stimulate them to do some original work. Each pupil answers to roll call by giving a quotation in keeping with the subject of the meeting. For each program a subject is given out bv Miss Fosbrink and the pupils find stories and poems related to it. Sometimes more than one meeting is devoted to the same subject. Each pupil keeps his stories and poems in a note book which also contains pictures illustrating the selections. The last meeting of the year is an out-door picnic. Top Roic — Griffiths. Emhuff.

The programs of the club were very inter- esting and well planned. They consisted of Latin games, conundrums, plav ' .ets. and songs. The club s organization was based upon principles of Roman government. The purpose of the club was three-fold: namely, to learn more about the Roman people and their language and customs, to find the pleasurable side of Latin and its re- lated topics, and to enjoy the fellowship of co-members. The name chosen for the society was Socii Purpurae Quindecim Romanae ' i The Fifteen Comrades of the Roman Purple I. In connection with this name, purple and white were selected as the colors, and the old saving. Facere quam Dicere 1T0 act rather than to talk I . was chosen as the motto. The club sponsored a Chili Supper on November 18. the proceeds for which went for various club purposes. The second semester a shipment of Readv-Jell Jello was sold by the club members.

Before a student could become a member of the club, he was required to take at least one full time commercial subject. The Commercial Course has been very popular among the students of Shields High School, many pupils taking advantage of the opportunity of learning short- hand, typewriting, bookkeeping, and Commercial Law. Each club meeting consisted of two sessions. The first was a business session in which any type of commercial work could be discussed. The second session con- sisted of some form of entertainment planned by the committee on programs. The latter part of the meeting did not necessarilv have to pertain to commercial work, but nevertheless some very interesting papers such as The Origin of Shorthand and The Origin of Typewriting were read. An unusually entertaining feature of one of the meetings was the enactment of the Spanish Plavlet by the committee in charge. The members of the club realized and certainly appreciated Mr. Ogan ' s ability in the commercial line, and they feel that thev have greatlv benefited from the study of this course. Top Ron — Kahrs.

Interest in history was stimulated by the notebooks kept by each member of the club. These notebooks contained writings and pictures which the students found in their daily search for historic references. Their findings were classified under the following heads: World history, L nited States history. Indiana history, and Jackson County and Seymour history. Games which were historically educational were often played, thus introducing new facts in a pleasing and interesting manner. Every pupil at one time or another was given the opportunity to express some phase of his knowledge of yore. Through such pleasant means as these was the student ' s knowledge of history increased. Besides benefiting from the principal purpose of the club, the members gained aluable experience from the practice of parliamentary rules.

The regular programs consisted of talks and pictures on scientific subjects, including Byrds expedition and the Panama Canal. The lives of great scientists, especially those of Edison and Marconi, were also studied. During the year two delightful parties were held, one at the home of Alma Miller and the other at Mr. Noe ' s. In the spring the members enjoyed an envigorating hike. Various industrial plants were also visited and much informa- tion and enjoyment were derived from these trips. The Science Club will always be remembered for its sale of schedule pencils. For several weeks members of this club were seen carrying the purple and white pencils in bundles which gradually diminished in size as the sale of the pencils was continued. The Science Club is deserving of appreciation for its purchasing several reference books for the Vocational Class and a set of Scientific Encyclopedies for the physics and chemistry departments.

At this meeting the members, who were thirty-two in number, elected the officers for the first term. The president appointed a committee, composed of Vera Osterman, chairman, Dorothy Harlow, and Vivian Stewart, whose duty it was to plan the programs. The purpose of the club was to sponsor all ban- quets, dinners, and the like put on by the Home Economics Department. During the year the club served the Father and Son Banquet to two hundred and fifty people and was responsible for the school cafeteria, both of which were a suc- cess. Although these undertak ings required quite a bit of work on the part of Miss Shaffer and the girls, they will never forget the interesting and often exciting times that they had in preparing these meals. During the year there were many delightful meetings, and throughout the second semester as well as the first a point contest was held at the end of which the losing side entertained the winning side with a party.

L nder the sponsorship of Mr. Martin, this body of students became the personnel of the Q. E. D. Club. The purpose of the Quod Erat Demonstrandum Club is, as its name suggests, the promotion of a greater interest in and enjoyment of mathematics. At the same time the club members are gaining a knowledge of the rules of parliamentary pro- cedure, which are necessary to the management of all club affairs. At most of the meetings the members are given catch problems to sharpen their minds as well as to afford enjoyment. Mr. Martin is known for his great appreciation of proverbial mottoes, and so naturally he induced his mathematics club to accept an adage. Live and Learn is the maxim which the members are supposed to apply to their daily lives as well as to the various branches of mathematics. Top Row — Weaver, Sciarra, Gregory. Chambers, Nicholson. R.

The club programs consisted of speeches, readings, debates, and similar types of oratory. The chief accomplishment of the club was the enactment of a thrilling mystery plav, ' The Ghost Bird, in which there occurred that oft-repeated and blood-curdling cry, Beware the Vulture . This is the first year Seymour has been a member of the State Debate League. The question for debate was, Resolved : That the state of Indiana adopt by law the principle of Old Age Pensions. In a practice debate with Connersville. each school won one debate. Seymour defeated North Vernon in the district, but was defeated by Huntingburg in the zone, although each school won one of the debates.

JULIUUL Jl ffJtlWI Frank Spurgeon President William Fox Vice-President Loran Booth Secretary Wilbert Otte Treasurer Earl McCammon Reporter Mr. Henderson Sponsor N October, a new outside activity, the Future Farmers ' Chapter of Shields High School, affiliated with state and national organizations, was opened to the boys. One of the main secrets of the success of any student organization rests in the ability of supervisors to delegate responsibilities to the students themselves, and unless that which is assigned the members of a club is interesting and really worthwhile. there is no reason for an organization to exist. Taking this attitude, Mr. Henderson and the Future Farmers began their club work, and at the end of school, they had had a successful year. One of the principal projects of the club was the testing of seed corn for the farmers of the community. At the beginning of the second semester the club had a Father and Son Banquet. Bv having strong state and national organizations of Future Farmers of America, additional incentives for achievements are provided for the local boys. The S. H. S. Chapter sent delegates to the state convention. Although this club is a new activity of the school, yet much more will be accom- plished in the coming years. Top Row — A. Marling.

Borcherding Secretary Harvey Lewis Treasurer Mrs. Dynes Sponsor THE Art Club consisted of ten members who met the first and third Friday of each month. Once a month the time was devoted to reports of great artists and their paintings. This was supplemented by visits to art exhibits, where technique and color harmonies were discussed. At the other meetings the time was spent in crafts work consisting of leather problems, which were worked out by the boys, and batik, which was worked out bv the girls. The constitution drawn up by the members was based on thorough knowledge of fundamental processes involved in the fine arts and appreciation of the beautiful in everyday life. A real appreciation and conscious enjoyment was developed on the part of the student. Thus the members were provided with the opportunity to gain such knowledge through their laboratory experiences which will undoubtedly prove beneficial in aiding the individual to discover the various phases of art work in which he could be most successful. The Art Club wishes to thank Mrs. Dynes, the sponsor, for her valuable assist- ance in giving information and for her splendid suggestions in connection with this project. Second Ron — Lange. Harlow.

We say the beginning of these clubs, being sure of their continuance in the years to come, for their popular favor was evidenced by the large number of girls and boys going out for them. Mr. Noe made a splendid leader for both drill clubs, since he had been a drill sergeant in the U. S. Infantry. Enthusiasm over drill work was so great that enough boys joined the club to form eight squads, eight boys completing a squad. These boys learned all elementary- drill, including squad, platoon, and company movements. The club was run on a merit basis, each boy having a chance to work up from common private to pivot man, or corporal, or even sergeant. Both the Girls ' and Boys Drill Club took part in the May Day program, execut- ing all movements learned during the year. Both clubs also took charge of the high school pupils in the health parade, each drill student being a corporal, sargeant, or plattoon commander. The Drill Club was organized by request and if it is desired next year, it will be run on the same plan. The Boys ' Drill had the distinction of being the largest club in the school, and we predict that Shields High School will hear more of this club in the years to come.

These are calls grown very familiar to the ■ - members of the Girls Drill Club. Although this club was launched with some trepidation and misgivings on the part of a few, a large number of enthusiastic girls responded to the call for members and it was soon evident that the Girls ' Drill Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Noe, would be a success. As Mr. Noe pointed out to the girls in the beginning, the purpose of the club is to teach swift and sure co-operation of brain and muscles as well as good posture. All the girls will agree that Drill Club also furnishes much beneficial and enjoyable recreation from the classroom during the school week. The Girls ' Drill Club is unique and somewhat different from other clubs in that it does not have the usual organization, including officers such as president or vice- president. However, a keen spirit of competition, which keeps the interest and en- thusiasm at its highest, is afforded by the desire for obtaining one of the coveted posts of honor which, in order of preference, are First Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, Sergeant, Right Guide, and Corporal. On May Day, in the health parade of the schools, members of the Girls ' Drill Club led the various groups of girls. These leaders filled their positions with great efficiency, since they had been drilled in this sort of work throughout the year. Group One — Mr. Noe (Sponsor), Helt. Grand. Otting.

Male Glee Club Harvey McCord, Jr President Ronald Borcherding Vice-President Carmin Sciarra Secretary-T reasurer Harry Payne Librarian Miss Hollincsworth Sponsor FOR some inexplicable reason the student body of Shields High School always en- joys hearing the Male Glee Club perform. Perhaps it is because of the informal- ity of the boys or because of the fact that these usually unemotional young men are giving voice to some of their artistic feelings, or could it possibly be on account of the beautiful harmony their combined voices produce? Whatever the reason, the fact remains that the programs of this club are always enthusiastically ' received. The boys chosen to sing in the All-State Chorus were John Brunow. Ronald Borcherding, Donald Blevins. and Ephraim Harlow. These four bovs also did quartet work throughout the Year. The Male Glee Club took part in the Cantata given a few weeks before Christmas. In March the boys helped produce the operetta. The Bells of Beaujolias. Thev greatly enjoyed preparing for ths production, the theme of which was that long to be remembered saying, When cherry blossoms fall on one in love, they bring such wonderful luck.

Early in the year three of the members, Alice Steinwedel, Aileen Dannettelle, and Gladys Helt, represented the club in the All-State Chorus at Indianapolis. At Christmas time, the girls joined the boys in giving a Cantata, Childe Jesus , both in convocation and before the public. The colorful costumes of the girls aided greatly in making it the inspirational rendition that it was. The Bells of Beaujolais , the name of the operetta given in March, may be called a musical triumph. The girls derived much enjoyment as well as fine training in preparing for this operetta. In April the Madrigal Club performed in convocation, the program consisting of practically all the songs the girls had practiced throughout the year. The Madrigal Club members have thus gained a knowledge of the fundamentals of good singing and have experienced the pleasure derived from chorus work. Top Rom — Miss Hollingsworth (Director).

The orches- tra this year is larger than ever before, having a membership of thirty-one. It has furnished the music for the class plays, the Christmas cantata, the operetta, and graduation exercises. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday and Friday, the fifth period. Although several members have a hard time keeping their fingers in playing condition, and although a tendency to forget instruments has lately developed, the class is usually fully attended. In March the orchestra furnished the convocation program, which was its only appearance before the entire student body.

TOO much praise can never be given the band. In the list of school activities it has a double purpose. Besides serving as an excellent training school for budding musicians, it acts as a tonic influence upon our spirits when they are at low ebb because defeat seeminglv stares us in the face. The stirring and rousing melodies of the band have often upheld the spirit of our athletic teams and sent our boys with renewed vigor into the contest and on to victory. To the director of the band, Mr. LaTour. goes much of the credit for the band ' s fine work. It has been through his hard work and untiring efforts that this organi- zation has accomplished the splendid record of which it may be justly proud. Let us hope that in the future the band will continue to instill in the hearts of pupils the proper school spirit of Shields High School. Clarinet — Harlow. Brunow. McClintock. Trombone — Ernest.

Miss, M Heni-u Fdculbij Advisor ' PATRIOT STAFF ERHAPS a grave error has been made in having a member of the Patriot Staff wrile about the organization to which he belongs, inasmuch as authors are hardly able to criticise their own works. However, we shall not attempt to do exactly this, but shall merely comment on the particular work of each member of the Staff. Esther Ahlbrand is the commander-in-chief of our forces, and a more competent leader could not have been chosen, either for ability in leadership or for ability to work. She saw to it that everyone under her editorial wing was bringing along his or her work properly. There is an old Chinese proverb which reads, A picture is worth ten thousand words. This may be applied to get an idea of the Assistant Editor ' s work. Please note Bill O ' Neill ' s picture on the preceding page. Next in line comes N. Frank Tower, the Business Manager. Verv exemplary is his willingness to work, and he pursued exacting business duties with his char- acteristic zeal. Then we have that triumvirate of Avdertising Managers, Harvid Nolting. Walter Lange, anil John Hughes. These boys had to put into play any or all diplomatic qualities which they possessed in order to secure the much needed ads from our patrons. James Walters, by virtue of his office as president of the class, also worked on the Staff as an Advertising Manager. Alma Miller, author of Senior Write-ups. found it necessary to lavish a great deal of talent and thought on the quatrains for the Seniors. Let us dubb Alma the Patriot Poet. Troy Blackall was the logical person to choose as athletic editor, he having been cheer leader for three years. As typical of Troy ' s Patriot work, you may visualize him taking snaps of all S. H. S. athletes. Snapshots are one of the most fascinating parts of an annual. In order to realize the type of work the snap editor. Muriel Kruwell, had to perform, we again refer you to the Chinese proverb. The Calendar is the result of the combined efforts of Ruth Scott and John Brunow. Throughout the year, Scott jotted down important events or humorous incidents that occurred in S. H. S. John Brunow supplemented this work with his collection of jokes, which are not so easy to assemble as one may think. Walter Lange. an unusually versatile person, is responsible for the cartoon work in our book. In contrast to the more humorous art work in the Calendar, there is the real art exemplified in the other pages where Colleen Harlow has been applving the pen. Could any of the readers imagine the appearance of the Patriot without the enhanc- ing effect of this decorative work? The Staff wishes to take this opportunitv to sincerelv thank Miss McHenrv and Mr. Glaze for their work as Facultv Advisor and Facultv Business Manager. Miss McHenry ' s position on the Staff involved work, the extent of which very few realize. Mr. Glaze has had a task of great responsibilitv in taking care of Patriot funds. ; a,ne°c(i). Athletics MB AUf-DERttEIDE- bAriQE- AbbeoRO ACH H. L. Babe W heeler in his second ear as the power behind the Owl football squad turned out probably the greatest team ever to represent S. H. S. Losing only two men by graduation last year, Babe had a real nucleus for a winning team, and as can be seen by its record, it met and sur- passed all expectations. In the first game the Owls demonstrated their ability to come through in a pinch when they defeated the strong Shelby- ville eleven bv a score of 13 to 12. For tlie first time in the history of football at S. H. S.. we had a Homecoming . The game WEASNER ■lispADDen M CORD was with our old rival, Columbus, and it was probably the high light of the entire season. Facing the hardest and longest schedule ever made for an Owl squad, our boys came through with only three losses in eight starts. This speaks well not only for the skill of our stone wall line but equally as well for the ability of our backfield to adopt itself to meet any kind of occasion or condition. This year ' s squad, captained by Imlay, loses heavily by graduation, as ten members are Seniors. Nevertheless, many reserves are left for next year, and our hopes are high for an- other great football season for S. H. S. with Rov McFadden at the helm as captain. M? WHEEbfrR, co cK WAMfRS CLIFFORD I.MLAi — Captain Imlay has been one of the mainstays of our line for the last four years. He was a stone wall on the defense and a battering ram on the offense as many of our opponents will testify. His loss will be keenly felt next year. CLARK HUNTER — Clark ' s football brains ' making up for his small stature enabled him to direct the team through the entire season from the quarterback posi- tion. This was Clark ' s last year with the squad and everyone is sorry to lose him. JOE AUFDERHEIDE — Joe completed his second and final year on the Owl Squad. At the center position, he was a continual threat to opposing teams. What a whale of a game he played against Columbus when he was at the bottom of every play! CLARENCE WARD — Bully was again one of the stars of our team. His flashy runs and hard tackling were much in evidence throughout the season. He has proven to be one of the best backfield men ever to wear an Owl suit. HARVEY McCORD — This was Pooner ' s first year on the varsity, but his natural ability coupled with his determination should make him one of the outstand- ing stars in this part of the state next year. ROY McFADDEN — Mac ended his second year with the Owl Squad at a wing position. He has been soaring passes from all angles during the past season and has been one of the most reliable men on the squad. BERNARD BRLCE — Bun was a Senior this year and therefore played his last game for his school. He was one of the mainstays of our forward wall and was re- garded as one of our most dependable men. ARTHUR LANGE — Atz is another Senior to finish three years of service as a backfield man on the Owl Varsity. He was one of our pony backs , and what he lacked in size he surely made up in speed. CARMIN SCIARRA — Carm practically came out of obscurity to win a place on this year ' s varsity. His ability to find holes in opponent ' s l ines gained manvi yards for Shields High last season. He also is a Senior. NELSON WEASNER— Nelson is another of our so-called pony backs . He was a Junior last year and should be able to take care of the punting and passing for next year ' s team. HARVID NOLTING — Newt was a tower of strength in our forward wall. He was dependable and always on the job. He has played three years and we regret that he hasn ' t another to play. CH ARLES W ILLIAMS — Charles has finished his second year as a vital cog in out- line. He has another year to play and our opponents will find him a hard plaver to stop next season. HARRY PAYNE — Always using his height, size, and speed to good advantage, Feet was a tower of strength to the team in his position as tackle. We regret that this was his last year to play for Shields High School.

After winning the first three games in whirlwind fashion, the Owls cooled down somewhat and suffered several defeats in succession. However, their never say die spirit pulled them through, and they came across with an impressive string of victories for the remainder of the season. This year ' s team was the rangiest ever to represent S. H. S., each man being six feet tall or better. The boys used their height to great advantage, which put them across in many of the closely contested games. Seymour led the Washington Hatchets, now State Champs, at the half and was nosed out by onlv a few points at the end of the most thrilling game of the entire season. The squad looses heavily by graduation, only three letter men being left for next year; namely, Goens, McFadden. and McCord. Fortunately, there is quite a bit of green timber in the Owlets that will make up for the loss. So the outlook for a winning team next year is again excellent. Top Row — Lange, Hunter. McCord. Moore.

Ward. s FROM year to year it has always been the job of the coach to train the Owlets from green and inexperienced youths to athletes fit to take the place of the Owls who graduate. Throughout the year, with little or no praise the fellows work faithfully toward the goal of becoming full fledged Owls the next season. Much credit is due this year ' s Owlets for the plucky way in which they fought against overwhelming odds. In the first place, they were practically all new men. Never before had they played against the class of competition which they did this year, but through it all they emerged with what we may term a very good record. Although the Owlets suffered defeat many times, they kept fighting all the harder, and as is always the case with those who never give up, they came through with a record of which to be proud. Since all the Owls graduate this year except McFadden, McCord, and Goens, many Owlets have a chance to be on the varsity in the 1930-1931 season. Top Row — Kasting, Churchman (Assistant Coach I .

LEONARD MOORE— Skeets might well be termed Lightning . He is one of the fastest men ever to represent Shields on the hardwood. Although not a regular this year. Skeets has another season in which we all expect great things of him. AUGUSTINE ALLEGRO— Gus is what we might call the dark horse of the squad. He played most of the year with the Owlets but at last jumped to the Owls. We expect to hear more of him in the next two seasons. CLARK HUNTER— Bottle , one of our midget forwards, was thrown into the breach at the last moment, and proved an important factor in our victory. This was his last year to play for Shields High School. KENNETH GOENS— Kenny , a Sophomore with but little experience, was selected as a full- fledged Owl, and fully measured up to the honor throughout the year. He had a sharp basket eye and could always be counted on for his share of the points. Hunter Goens HARVEY McCORD— Gv ' playing his third season on the Owl Varsitv, was in every play from start to finish and could always be depended upon to come through when an extra point was needed. Guff has another year to play for Shields. ROY McFADDEN— Mac is one of those de- liberate guards who deceive so many opponents into believing they are slow and then leave them in the final burst of speed. He was cool headed, and always contributed well toward the final score. Mac has one more year to plav. McCord McFadden MELVIN REBBER— Mel a Sophomore, is another of our ex-Owlets, having been promoted to the Owls in the latter part of the season. Here he showed his true worth not only as a good dribbler but as a real basket tosser. OSBORNE PREWITT — Prewitt played most of the year with the Owlets where he hit the hoop so consistently that in the last few- weeks of the season. Wheeler took him over to the varsity. Here he gained valuable experience for next year. Rebber Prewitt JAMES W ALTERS — Jimmy was seldom in a mixup. but was always at the right place at the right time. He launched many last minute rallies that pulled the Owls out of defeat. It is with genuine sorrow that we have seen him play his final season for S. H. S. JOE At FDERHEIDE — Joe is considered one of the best back guards ever to wear an Owl uni- form. His ability to hold the ball and to take rebounds off the backboard formed his greatest asset. This was Joe s last year as an Owl. Walters Atjfderheide HAROLD BORCHERDING — Borcherding was the center for this year ' s Owlets until about the last three games when he was transferred to the Owl Squad. He will be one of our main- stays next year as he has had invaluable experi- ence with this years Owls. HARRY PA ) WE— Feet played his last year as captain and pivot man for the squad. His lengthy reach at center enabled him to baffle many of our foes. Although Payne has played only two seasons, he has gained an enviable place in the hearts of all the Owl backers. Borcherding Paine ; VFRA Q -®4 riAtDOMALD THE members of the first squad, commonly called the Owlettes, have come through the season without a defeat, although they have plaved more outside teams this year than ever before. With Miss Dryden as coach, the girls have gone in for real training so that they could give their best when in the game. The skillful playing of the Owlettes has created much enthusiasm among the Seymour fans. The team is one of which to be proud. The victories were as follows: Seymour. ... 14 Columbus 13 Seymour. . . .32 Butlerville .... 12 Seymour. .. .60 Brownstown ... 7 Seymour. . . .20 Cortland 4 EARL in the fall when the the announce- ment goes out that girls ' basketball prac- tice is to begin, it is always greeted enthusias- tically bv at least sixty girls. This year the girls were again divided into class teams. In the double-round elimination tournament the Seniors were the ones to emerge victorious, the Juniors being the runners-up. On Play Day, March 29, the Juniors and Seniors played an exhibition game, in which the Seniors again proved their championship caliber. The captains of the teams were: Freshmen.

HODAPP Track B LDOtl ' II ' HE track team this year made a good if not - an impressive record. Coaches Martin and Wheeler had only five letter men around whom to build, but there was a wealth of green ma- terial which, with this years experience, has been well seasoned for next vear. The team succeeded in winning from our old rivals. Scottsburg , regardless of handicaps. One of the track men. Hodapp. deserves spe- cial mention. He came to the fore this vear and swept evervthing before him. taking firsts in both the hundreds and two hundred twenties many times. He has another vear on the team. Next year we should have one of the greatest track seasons in our historv. ■ THIS year ' s team numbered many veterans and also many rookies . A winning team was anticipated, and the fans got all they ex- pected and just a little bit more. The nine was captained by Jim Walters, who was a real leader and one who knew the game from start to finish. Moore did the hurling and made a very thor- ough job of it. In two games lost by S. H. S., he struck out thirteen one game and twelve the other.. He has another year. Coach Henderson loses almost all of this year ' s nine bv graduation, but with the large number of rookies we had, we are again ex- pecting one of the best teams ever to wear the colors of Shields Hisih.

Aside from their interesting research work, they have learned much that is of practical scientific value. Similarly, in the field of student publications, the Indianapolis En- graving Company searches con- stantly for new ideas, plans and methods that will assist year-book staffs to publish successfully books characteristic of their school and community. The results of these efforts are gratifying. The Annual Planning and Design- ing Department welcomes your inquiries for further information.
