How we have laughed over you, worried over you, rejoiced over your prospects and despaired of your realization! In the work on the Patriot we, the staff, have tried to live up to the principles of Lincoln, the man whom we have chosen as the ideal Patriot. We see patriotism as love, honor, and loyalty, not only to God and country, but also to our homes, school, and community. Lincoln ' s life was symbolic of Patriotism and sacrifice to everything that is best in our national and human ideals. As you re-read this book of memories in future years, may you be inspired as we have been by the high ideals of Lincoln the Patriot, the man of the people; and may you recall none but pleasant memories of your High School career. CONTENTS DEDICA TION THE SCHOOL Scenes Superintendent and School Board Faculty Classes ACTIVITIES Organizations Athletics FEATURES School lite Calendar Advertisements iMii DEDICATION ERNEY R. STEWART ' S hfth year of service as principal of Shields High School has drawn to a close — Bve years of devotion and untiring efforts in the furtherance of the aims and ideals of the school. These five years have marked a great ex- pansion in Seymour academically, because of the establishment of higher scholastic stand- ards. Students have learned to admire and re- spect him as a person of strong convictions, open-mindedness, and far-sightedness. We, the Class of 1931, with four busy, suc- cessful years upon which to reflect, do re- spectfully dedicate the 1931 Patriot to Principal Berney R. Stewart who has so ably helped us through our high school career. BERNEY R. STEWART f Principal of Shields High School Lin coln, The Man of the People % vj Up from log cabin to the Capitol, yy One fire was on his spirit, one resolve — W To send the keen ax to the root of wrong, n Clearing a free way for the feet of God, M The eyes of conscience testing every stroke. To make his deed the measure of a man. He built the rail-pile as he built the State, Pouring his splendid strength through every blow: The grip that swung the ax in Illinois Was on the pen that set a people free. So came the Captain with the mighty heart; And when the judgment thunders split the house, Wrenching the rafters from their ancient rest. He held the ridgepole up, and spiked again The rafters of the Home. He held his place — Held the long purpose like a growing tree — Held on through blame and faltered not at praise. And when he fell in whirlwind, he went down As when a lordly cedar, green with boughs. Goes down with a great shout upon the hills. And leaves a lonesome place against the sky. — Edwin Markham SCHOOL Greetings HE SENIOR CLASS of any educaLional institulion determines, very decidedly, die standards of ideals and conduct, of work and achievement in that institution. This is noticeably true this year in Shields High School. Your class as a whole, has been unusually diligent in the performance of school work. This is shown by the standard of grades attained. Thei-e have been very few failures. The class is also outstanding in its leadership in the various extra curricular activities, such as. Debating, Plays, Glee Club, Class organization and Athletics. Finally, your class is meritorious for the fine way in which it has cooperated with the school authorities in pro- moting good school spirit. The morale ot any institution is the result of the combined thought, attitudes, and response of those who constitute its personnel. The morale of our high school for the past year has been exceptionally good, and much credit is due the class for its leader- ship, and for its faithful performance of duty. You have established a fine precedent for future classes to follow, and in so doing have served well the school which you will cherish and serve in the years to come. Seniors, I am proud of you; proud of your faithfulness and loyalty, of your consecration to duty, and your patient industry which have been necessary to carry you through these four years in Shields High School. May you continue to be an honor to your school and to those fine parents and friends who have made it possible for you to finish the course. And finally, do not forget that you, alone, are now re- sponsible for what you do and become. Therefore, This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Congratulations and Best Wishes! n W i ' ■■4 NORMAN J. LASHER. SCrif Tlri ' octo. ' sv N 1 . .-.-id© JuHN Conner Secretary Mr. N. J. Lasher has just completed his sixth year as Superintendent of the Seymour Schools. During this time he has brought about many progressive changes in our city ' s school system. One new and very fine modern school was established and named after Emerson. The names of all the schools were changed from locations and Wards, to the names of great men who serve as ideals to the pupils of the schools. The School Board is composed of representative men of the community. These men are vitally interested in civic affairs, and in the welfare of the boys and girls of the city. This interest has been evidenced by the willingness of the Board to meet the needs of the school in proportion to the financial ability of the citv treasury. Many factors must be considered in providing for the best educational opportuni- ties that the community can afford. All sides of every new question are weighed care- fully by this able and efiicient body of men, and as a result, we have schools pro- gressive enough to be very proud of, and conservative enough to keep within the financial limits set by the city. The Board is neither miserly in holding down school costs so as to cripple efficiency, nor is it extravagant in undertaking new untried projects. We feel that this body of men deserves a vote of thanks and congratulation for keeping the schools of Seymour among the first in our state for educational ideals and modern improve- ments. The best citizen is he who has the best heart, the best character, the most charity and sympathy, and he nho uill give to another citizen the protection he asks lor himself. — President McKinley.

The following letter by Charles Williams was judged the best of those submitted by high school students. Shields High School Seymour, Indiana AJ • 1 D- 1 J TT D ] January 16, 1931 Admiral Kichard t,. Byrd New York City Dear Sir: In the make-up of every individual we find the characteristics portrayed in Diogenes. We can visualize that ancient Greek philosopher with his extended lantern peering into the faces of passersby — looking always for — The Man. There are numerous modern Diogenes ' welded together into a great group called the public — a public that is casting about in an endeavor to extend their tribute to a model of typical manhood. That ancient Greek sought long. Today we have found a man whom we can place before the world as an example of universal manhood — a man who can be cited to future generations as a model — a symbol of initiative, courage, leadership, intelligence, perserverance and accomplishment. You are the man! Every real American student as well as your mature admirers is proud of you — a real American. It is needless for us to enumerate your various exploits — your trials and hardships. You know them better than we could ever hope to but we do know that we are justly proud of your incomparable achievement. Any man can aspire and dream and plan but you did this and more — you conquered and came out with results. We simply want you to know that we, of America, recognize what you are and what you have done. We cannot recompense you for the hardships endured and the work accomplished — however, we do have our tribute! It belongs to you and it is given whole-heartedly in the thought that it is for — The Man. Sincerely yours.

THE DELIVERY JUNIOR HIGH CHRISTMAS PROJECT The Junior High School at Christmas time felt obligated to aid in the good work for Community betterment; consequently they put on a toy Charity project. They gathered seven-hundred and fifty old broken toys and rebuilt them to look like new. These were distributed to the worthy poor. All the boys and girls in the Junior High School are happy because they loaned a helping hand. We are very thankful and feel obligated to our many friends for their help in this project; especially do we thank the Emerson School for their valuable assistance. We hope next year our junior friends will carry on on a bigger and better scale; take the torch we are throwing them and strive onward toward Community betterment.

SUNSHINE SOCIETY M.4RGARET RocEiiS President Mentoria Elsner Vice-President Virginia Richart Secretary Mary Catherine Borcherding Treasurer Miss Levfis Sponsor In September the Sunshine Society, composed of one hundred and sixty-five girls, was re- organized. A beautiful initiation service was held two weeks later for seventy-two new members. This was the beginning of a busy year for S. S. girls. Welfare work and social events kept its calendar overflowing. In October the club held a delightful Halloween Party in the high school auditorium. At Thanksgiving the girls showed their gratitude and appreciation for the countless opportuni- ties with which they have been blessed, by distributing twenty-six baskets filled with wholesome and nourishing food to the poor of the city. The girls also did their share of spreading happiness and cheer at Christmas time. They bought a five dollar Health Bond payable in Christmas Seals. The senior members of the organization assisted the Tri Kappa Society in entertaining the less fortunate children of Seymour at a Christ- mas Party held at the First National Bank Building. Christmas Greetings were sent to all persons who had cooperated with the club in spreading sunsliine during the year.

Because of the immensity of the membership, these had to remain inactive the first semester. Mary Catherine Vehslage and Dorothy Pettit sponsored the Junior meetings. The girls were engaged for the most part of tlie second semester in making dainty little aprons to be used in missionary work. During one of the February meetings the officers for next year were elected. These were: Adele Lange, President; Mary Katherine Keach. Vice-President; Helen Pettit. Secretaiy; and Violet Wince, Treasurer. The greatest social event of the year was the Mather and Daughter Entertainment which was held in the spring. This is an event long remembered by all the girls, for a lasting friendship is established between them and their mothers which neither time nor fate can sever. On March 27, the club enjoyed a swimming party at the pool in the Columbus gymnasium. They were chaperoned by Miss Lewis, Miss Dryden, and Miss Hein. Near the close of the school year plans were completed for thirty Sunshine girls to enjoy a week ' s outing, from July 6 to 11, at Heflin ' s Camp near Columbus, Indiana. To meet expenditures the club followed the usual plan, that of selling candy at noon and after school. The method again proved to be a valuable source of income. The Sunshine Girls have a club song entitled Sunshine Pal , and a religious song There ' s a Wideness in God ' s Mercy . The S. S. Creed is: With love in my heart, forgetting self and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life, helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making the community in which I live a safer and more beatiful place for little children. Thus will my own life become rich and complete.

FUTURE FARMERS CLUB Henry Richart President Carl Nobbe Vice-President Kenneth Helt Secretary Paul Dowell Treasurer Earl McCammon Reporter H. C. Henderson Sponsor The local chapter of the Future Farmers Club, which is affiliated with the state and national organizations, was reorganized on Wednesday, September 21. 1930 with an enrollment of twenty- nine members. At this meeting Henry Richart and Earl McCammon were selected as delegates to attend the annual state convention which was held at Purdue University October 17 and 18. The purposes for which this organization is formed are as follows: (1) To promote vocational education in agriculture. (2 1 To add to the prestige and dignity of farming as an occupation, and to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work. (3) To promote a better school and community spirit. (4) To promote scholarship and worthy achievement among students of vocational agriculture and to develop rural leadership. (5) To develop among its members a true conception of cooperative effort. One of the most important projects that the club undertook was the supervising of a seed com testing campaign. Five thousand ears of seed corn were tested in this most worthwhile undertaking. The boys were ranked according to the time they had been associated with the club. There were four classes. The first year members were designated as Greenhands . the second year members, Future Farmers , third year members as Hoosier Farmers ' , while those participating for four years were crowned American Farmers . Membership pins were worn by the boys and it was the aim of each one to reach the highest rank possible, namely, an American Farmer. The fanners are the founders of civilization. — Daniel Webster.

We say successful, because the club has accomplished everything which it set out to do. You would have had to search hard and long to have been able to find a busier organization in the school than this group of boys and girls and their sponsor, Mr. Noe. They worked with untiring efforts, not only to grow in scientific knowledge, but also to better the appearance of our school, and to make it one of the finest in the state. The organization paid for one publication of the Owl , the school paper, and furnished money to be used in the installation of drinking fountanis in the school basement. In order that it might do this, the club had to look for some means of raising funds. The first valuable source of income was the schedule pencil sale. The rapidity of the sales was amazing. One thousand pencils were sold in three days. At a later date, the members sold home-made candy at some of the ball games. Self-addressed stationery was put on sale and the proceeds from both of these ' helped the club to carry out its plans. The club sessions were of a social, demonstrative and sight-seeing nature, whereby scientific knowledge was gained from the common occurrences of everyday life. Many new and interesting discoveries were called to the minds of the members, thus giving them a better understanding of the mysteries in the scientific world. By mutual confidence and mutual aid great deeds are done and great discoveries made. — Homer ' s Iliad. Top Row — Jackson, . bieiker, T. Siefker, Knost, Mr. ocler (Sponsor), Miller.

BIBLE CLASS Perhaps one of the most interesting of the outside activities of the school is the Bible .Study Class directed by Rev. Yoder. pastor of the local St. Paul Congregational Church. When the announcement was made that a Bible Class would be organized, it was met with a hearty response by fourteen boys and girls for whom the Bible held a great attraction. Some of the members like the work so well that they are taking more than one year ' s study of it. A special study of the Old Testament from a historical and literary standpoint was made without any denominational bias whatsoever. Many of the beautiful passages that are so often quoted by well versed writers and speakers were memorized by the students. Much of the social and political life of the Orient was learned from the study of the Bible. Many literary and musical selections and famous paintings have their historical background in this Book. Handel ' s Messiah , Hayden ' s Creation , Da Vinci ' s The Last Supper . Hoffman ' s The Christ Head . Milton ' s Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained and Banyan ' s Pilgrim ' s Progress all have their conception in the Bible. In January the members of the class wrote and dramatized before the student body a beautiful one-act playlet which portrayed the story of the finding of the babe, Moses, in the bulrushes by Pharaoh ' s daughter. The solos by the mother and the ancient garb worn by the cast were very interesting features of the drama. A trio composed of George Miller. Mary Catherine Borcherding and Carol Miller favored the audience with some favorite songs between scenes. The play cast was: Pharaoh ' s Daughter Zell.

It is a member of the State Federation of High School Art Clubs. We believe that their sincere efforts have been well rewarded. Their activities have had a wide influence upon the entire school. The members of the Art Club put their very best into the art work of the Patriot. Chester Bowden, a very talented artist, deserves much credit as general assistant to Catherine Borcherding, art editor. The back drop for the Operetta was vei7 beautifully drawn and painted by the hard-working artists of the club. Vera Daugherty, Dorothy Harlow, and Robert Klein should especially be commended for their work. Art exhibits in the city were always visited by representatives of the club, and reported at the meetings. Reports on art masters and masterpieces were also a part of the program. Mr. Murray has been very successful in helping to make both the meetings and activities of the club interesting. Under his leadership the club has accomplished wonders in the field of art and art appreciation. Art is the Kingdom of God- expressing itself in the medium of material things. — Richard Roberts.

HI-Y Raymond Due President Roland Beldon Vice-President Albert Charles Second Vice-Pres. Melvin Rebber Secretary Robert Klein Treasurer J. R. Mitchell Sponsor Under the capable direction and supervision of Mr. Mitchell, the Hi-Y started out this year to make little history in a big way. History must wait for deficient pocketbooks, so the boys decided to establish a checking booth in the gymnasium to accommodate the basketball fans. This proved to be quite a successful way of raising funds, and the club basked happily in the mellowing smiles of prosperity. In November, the annual Father and Son banquet was put on in true Hi-Y style. The success of this affair was attributed to a short, snappy program, an excellent menu, good speakers, and Heiwig ' a Imperial Orchestra. At Christmas time, the Hi-Y purchased a five dollar health bond. Later, the club participated in a Hi-Y track meet. Several Older Boys Conferences were held in the near-by towns, and attended by the local club. One of these was held in Seymour, sponsored by the local organization. The Hi-Y sponsored Clean Speech Week in March. An article on clean speech was published in the Tribune each evening during this week. Posters stressing the necessity of clean speech were distributed through the city, and the school paper carried such an article. When the boys began to get spring fever, the indoor swimming pool at Columbus was utilized. Several of the members are planning to camp at Camp Ernst this summer. Thus ends this year ' s history of the club with the largest membership since the local Hi-Y has been chartered. lose mine honor, I lose myself. — William Shakespeare.

Approximately twenty members were enrolled. From these a cabinet of four was selected to serve as club officers and one member was chosen each semester to act as reporter for the school paper. The Owl . The purpose of the club was to stimulate more interest in history, to liring it closer to eveiy- day life, and to make it a live and real thing instead of inanimate memories of the past. In this way, the members gained more knowledge from both ancient and current history than that which could be acquired in the classroom. The club meetings, which were held the first and third Fridays of each month, combined entertainment with education. At one time during the year a beautiful collection of Western scenic views, most of which were views of California, was shown. Much lively interest was always aroused by discussions of interesting current topics. The organization raised funds witli which to ineet expenditures by selling candy at the ball games. Mr. Beldon, as sponsor of the club, was very influential in making this year ' s work a success, and he is to be congratulated upon the interest which the club has exhibited.

THE BAND When we look l)atk upon the accomplishments ol this group of musicians, we wonder if ever too much jjraise was given the band. Twice a week these boys and girls assembled and worked hard, not only to develop a knowledge of music which would be a pleasure and an inspiration to them in later life, but also to act as a stimulant to school teams. The band is the most loyal booster at all our athletic games. It stayed with the teams through victory and defeat. On one occasion during the year the band furnished a most enjovable musical pro- gram for convocation. This was proof of the excellent work going on behind closed doors during practice periods. Although the doors were closed and though the windows may have been shut, the entire school, during the practice periods at the beginning of school, probably wished the inore advanced age of sound-proof rooms were in existence. Mistake and cor- rection leisurely strolled hand in hand down the aisle of bandom, with the former always a half step in advance. However, upon the insistence of all band members, the two troublesome undesirables were expelled forever. Since the progress of the band is so evident, our conclusions are that neither interest nor efficiency was lacking in the director, Mr. LaTour.

S. ORCHESTRA The twenty-five musicians who make up the orcliestra represent the choice of S. H. S. ' s musical talent. The rehearsals are always interesting, to say the least, and often become decidedly lively, when commands such as, Cornets, tongue it more, or more frequently, ' Watch me, I 11 give it to you, are issued by the competent director. The practice period is devoted to rehearsing music of a classical nature. Mr. LaTour has given the members an excellent appreciation of this type of music, and has worked hard to make the organization a credit to our school. The convocation program of March 4 was given by the orchestra and the hearty applause by the student body affirmed its success. It has appeared before the public at various other times during the year, furnishing the music at the Junior and Senior class plays, and the Dramatic Club play, Laff That Off. Likewise, the appearance of the annual operetta was made possible only by the assistance and cooperation of this worthy group of musicians. In fact, the orchestra played not a minor part but a major one in the production of The count and the Coed the most difficult operatic selection ever rendered here. The solo work was greatly enhanced by the accompaniment of William Hancock, the best violinist the school has ever claimed, and the pianist, Ruth Fox.

Fuhvilder GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB Melba Ahlbrand President Sarah Haas ( ice-President Mary Margaret Shade Librarian Ruth Fox Accompanist Miss Holliisgsworth Director Some time after the beginning of the first semester a large group of enthusiastic freshmen and sophomore girls assembled in Room 16 for the purpose of organizing a Junior Girls ' Glee Club. Miss Mary Alice Hollingsworth supervised the organization with the assistance of three girls who were chosen as club officers. The aim of the club was to instill into the hearts and souls of the girls a deeper appreciation for music and to develop that tiny spark of admiration for good music which already existed in the girls when they so enthusiastically organized. Tlie uniforms, white dresses with purple ties, carried out the school colors. Not long after training was well on the way. improvement was clearly noticeable. The club gave witness of its skill at one of the convocation periods, when it entertained the student body in a very laudable manner. The president herself had charge of the program and directed the singing. The girls also took part in an impressive Christmas play presented at the school just before the Christmas vacation. The climax in ihe year ' s activities for the club came with its participation in the romatic operetta, Tlie Count and the Coed , given on March 19. Miss Hollingsworth, director, has won the admriation of all the girls, and they leave with the expressed wish that next year ' s club will receive as much enjoyment from it as they have.

Upton. The Madrigal Club of Shields High School is an organization of girls who devote two periods weekly to the development of their musical talent. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the club is the uniforms, which the girls are required to wear on all public appearances. These are long, blue, rose, and orchid dresses with full, circular skirts. The variety of color adds greatly to the attractiveness of the group. At one of the convocation hours the members entertained the entire student body with an en- joyable program. . t various other times they appeared before Seymour audiences in a most charming manner. The Girls Quartet, consisting of Victoria Destinon, Margaret Rogers, Mildred Stewart and Mary Catherine Borcherding, was, on one occasion, the guest of the Rotary Club and delighted the members with several popular numbers. Last October four girls, chosen from this group, represented Shields High School at the Indiana Teachers ' Association. On March 19, the operetta was staged. The cast, only after exhaustive elimination, was selected from members of this club, together with the Junior Girls ' and the Male Glee Clubs. Its success was unquestionable, and the director. Miss Hollingsworth. is to be commended for her untiring efforts in making this club what it is.

The club entertained the student body at convocation twice. They played an important part in the Christmas play presented at the school. Last October four of the boys were chosen, to- gether with a girls ' quartet, to represent Shields High School in the All State Chorus held at the Indiana Teachers Association in Indianapolis. The boys chosen were Don Mills Bollinger and Ralph Nieman, tenors; Elbert Lasher and Donald Blevins, basses. As is the custom, a quartet was selected from among the most talented members of the club. These were Robert Chenoweth. first tenor; Roy McFadden. second tenor; Elbert Lasher, baritone; Donald Blevins. bass. This group was a favorite with Seymour audiences and their appearance on programs was always enthusiastically received. The climax for this year ' s work came on the night of March 19, when the club assisted in presenting The Count and the Coed . In this they played the role of a college glee club and performed admirably.

CLASSICA SODALITAS FIRST SEMESTER Marguerite Stanfield Mildred Ahlbrand Mary Catherine Deputy Vivian Stewart Stella Wolter Miss Anderson Consul Censor Quaestor Aedile Chorister Sponsor SECOND SEMESTER Mary Catherine Deputy Helen Walker Louise Ahlert Doris Watson Mary Margaret Shade Miss Anderson The Latin Club, under the efficient sponsorship of Miss Anderson, held its meetings regularly on the second and fourth We dnesday of finery month. The club chose for its name Classica Sodalitas, which means Classical Fellowship. The motto was Optima Deligamus. (Let us Choose the Best.) Its colors were royal purple and gold. The club was organized on the plan of the old Roman Republic and its officers performed their duties just as the Roman officials were accustomed to doing. The consul presided at each meet- ing, while the censor kept a record of attendance and a written account of all proceedings. The quaestor had charge of the financial affairs, the aedile was chairman of the program committee, and the chorister led the singing. The programs were of a very interesting nature. Talks on Roman life and customs were given by various members oi ' the organization. Latin songs were sung, and Latin games played. In this way Roman life was revived and made more real. The club was financially self-supporting. Besides the usual club dues, the sale of jello proved to be a valuable source of income throughout the year. The members in turn used the profits received by this method to buy pins, which were awarded to the winners of the Latin Contest on Honor Day.

Each member kept a (Student ' s Journal) in which the club lessons were recorded. These were submitted to the sponsor at the close of each semester and each member was graded according to his ability in that line of study. The topic for the first semester ' s work was (The Short Story.) Club meetings were devoted to word study and thought expression. Short! stories of every type were colleccted and told during the sessions.

Surely the pupils are interested in such an organization for the club boasts of a membership of over thirty. The club strives to create a more widespread interest in mathematics, and to develop a better and broader understanding of the subject than that which can be secured in the classroom. Sessions are held on the second and fourth Fridays of every month. A part of every meeting is devoted to a program usually consisting of mathematical contests and conundrums. Solving a Personal Equation by a Judicial Process , a humorous mock trial involving the various phases of mathematics, was the name of the play presented at one of the convocation hours by the Square Root Club members. Several other boys who were not affiliated with the club assisted. Mr. Martin, club sponsor, acted as master of ceremonies. Thanks are due Mr. Martin, whose assistance and suggestions have made the club sessions so enjoyable and interesting. Mathematics are the most abstracted of knowledge. — Bacon.

Mindful of the sad fate of the Owl of previous years, the staff decided to make mimeographed phamphlets and circulate them through the entire school free of charge. The first edition was published just before the Christmas vacation. Excellent cooperation and hitherto unexposed talent was exhibited in the clever write-ups, jokes and cartoons. Dorothy Harlow, as art editor, contributed column headings and frontispieces which gave the paper an air of distinction. Friday, the thirteenth, is not so unlucky after all for the second edition of the Owl made its appearance on that day and was met with more enthusiasm than the fii ' st. The last issue was published in March. A page on Clean Speech Week , contributed by the Hi-Y Club, was one of the most important features of the paper. To the Seniors whose loyalty has helped to raise the standard of Shields High School, the Juniors dedicated the last edition of the Owl . In the publictaion of this paper, the Juniors have learned a great deal about the problem and many interests of Journalism. Much credit is due Mr. Ogan whose inspiration and cheerful assistance have helped make the work on the Owl a real pleasure and an activity long to be remembered.

We are really proud of the 1931 ' Patriot ' . It has given us joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, and now that our hopes are realized, that the book of dreams is the treasure of every High School boy and girl, we rejoice with them over the recalled memories of school life in 1930-1931. In seeking material on Lincoln as The Patriot we have learned to admire Lincoln more than ever before, and to feel that we have in him a friend. Four Juniors were chosen as staff assistants this year. Next year these Juniors will have a knowledge of annual work to begin with. During the work of the year, we, of the Staff, have grown to know and love Miss McHenry and to count her among our best friends. Mr. Glaze and Mr. Murray have helped to stimulate us, and spur us on. The entire staff feels that a vote of thanks is due to all three of our faculty advisors. No book is worth anything which is not loorth MUCH. — Raskin. Top Row — Stewart, Miss Kruzee ( Librarian i .

LIBRARY CLASS Each year, four girls, cliosen witli regard to their scholastic standing and general conduct in school, are offered a course in Library Training at the Public Libraiy. Miss Katherine Frazee, librarian, supervises the training of these girls. The girls taking the course this year were Mary Catherine Borcherding. Thelma Ernest, Antoinette Kysar, and Mildred Stewart. Each girl spent eight hours of every week at the library. This included one instruction hour and seven practice hours. During the instruction period they were taught to solve problems and keep notebooks. The other seven hours were consumed with real library work. The girls received a general knowledge of how libraries are conducted. They were informed concerning the use of the card catalogue, the arrangement of the books in the library, the different kinds of reference books and periodicals, and last of all, an idea of the numerous opportunities in the widening field of librarianship as a profession. Several girls who took this course in former years became so interested in the work that they went on to school with the idea of entering one of the many interesting phases in the field of library work. This year Seymour was singularly honored by being chosen to hold the district convention. Librarians from all over Southern Indiana were in attendance. The girls count tliemselves ex- tremely fortunate to be in the library class of 1931. To nild a library to a house is to give that house a soul. — Cicero. Top Ron- — McPike. Miss McHenry (Sponsuri.

GIRLS ' SPONSORS At the first girls ' meeting held last fall, two girls were chosen from each class to be the Girls ' Sponsors. These girls were selected because of their moral standing and general conduct out in life as well as in the classroom. At various times during the year these girls met with Miss McHenry and assisted her in decid- ing the problems that are bound to befall and trouble girls. They encouraged good will and friendship among the girls and by their helpful suggestions made this a cheerful world in which to live. These girls also aided Miss McHenry in furnishing the programs for the girls ' meetings. In addition to our own school talent, speakers who were trained and well versed in girls ' work were secured to lecture at the meetings. One of the most enjoyable was the December meeting when Mrs. Hutchens. wife of the Methodist District Superintendent, gave a delightful talk. In years past the Mothers ' Day program was held in the evening. This year the sponsors de- cided to hold it in the afternoon. The plan proved to be a better one as more mothers and daughters were able to attend. Then came the Farewell meeting for the Senior girls. The program was an enjoyable one but deep down in the heart of every Senior girl there lay a profound sadness at the thought of parting. On leaving, the Senior girls wish to recommend to all girls coming after them a wise and understanding friend in Miss McHenry, Dean of Girls.

The debaters were selected on basis of delivery, strategy in debating, and ability to speak and think extemporaneously. Only two of the nine members comprising the teams had had previous experience in debating. The local wranglers were congratulated upon their debating skill even though they did not win all debates. They were coached by Kenneth Warbritton, dramatic and public speaking instructor. Tliere were two questions for debate. The first was, Resolved: That the chain store system is detrimental to the best interests of the United States public. The local affirmative trio lost to the Bedford wranglers on the Bedford floor, while their affirmative team met defeat at the hands of the Shields negative team on the home floor. The second question for debate was, Resolved: That the present system of installment buying should be condemned. Seymour ' s opponent in this debate was North Vernon. The debates were held in the local auditorium, one in the afternoon, the other at night. Professor Ross of DePauw University judged the debates and gave the laurels to North Vernon. This prevented the local team from going farther in the state elimination contest. Those upholding the affirmative side of the Chain Store question were John Gould. Billy Han- cock, and Waldron Bruemmer; those of the Installment Buying question, Catherine Vehslage, Margaret Rogers, and Waldron Bruemmer. Those contending for the negative of the Chain Store question were Thelma Ernest. Frances Woodard and Thelma Miller; of the Installment Buying question, John Gould. Billy Hancock, and Mildred Stewart. A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still. — Butler. Top Row — Bowden. IcFadden. Mr. arljritton (Sponsor), Lasher.

DRAMATIC CLUB Margaret Rogers President John Gould }■ ice-President Victoria Destinon Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Wareritton Sponsor The announcement of the organization of a Dramatic Club, a heretofore unestablished activity in our school, met w ' ith the delighted appproval of thirty-five girls and boys for whom the drama held a profound attraction. As is readilly indicated, by the name, the object of the Dramatic Club is tlie furtherance of dramatics of various sorts within the school. The club programs consisted chiefly of readings and sketches. The most outstanding numbers on the programs were two short playlets presented by members of the club. Manikin and Minikin , a comic dialogue between two dolls, was given by Frances Woodard and John Gould. On another occasion Victoria Destinon, Harry Payne, and Raymond Veal entertained the members with a one-act play entitled The Trip to Maure . In unexpected moments members were called upon to give impromptu speeches and readings, and thus it hap- pened that some unsuspected talent was disclosed. The crowning achievement of this organization was the presentation of the three act comedy, LaflF That Off . This production was pronounced a huge success. The proceeds were used to defray the expenses of the debating teams. We feel that the benefits derived from a Dramatic Club make it a worthwhile organization in the school, and urge the fostering of it in the future.

Athletics F- - ATHLETICS HEN a pupil graduates from the eighth grade, he enters into the reahn of High School athletic competition. H3 is con- fronted with the panorama of the football field, the basket- ball floor, the baseball diamond and the cinder track. Shields High School students have always responded enthusiastically to this magnetic call until today we have built up an athletic department that is an asset to the school. Not every pupil can achieve the distinction of being a varsity man. This attainment is the goal for which every energetic Freshman, Sopho- more, Junior, and Senior strives. Since athletics tend toward extreme specialization some drop from the field of players, but there are always the sportsmen known as the fans. They are as important as the players themselves, for without the fans there would be little incentive for games. The qualities of courtesy, chivaljry, and loyalty developed on the field are equally important on the side lines. Athletics extend a moral, mental, and physical development. It has been the aim of our school to represent our spirit and attitude in purely clean sports. Sportsmanship has been stressed at all times re- gardless of what might be gained through the opposite means. S. H. S. has attempted to fight hard and spiritedly but always by fair means. Our school has looked beyond the score. The Owls have filed off the field or floor several times when the scoreboard showed a deficit on our side. That mechanical check of the scoreboard is only a minor item when one considers how the game was played. Victory can be found even in defeat if the spirit of fairness prevails at all times. In school our game is football, basketball, baseball, or track. We are supposed to learn the game, develop fairness, and sportsmanship. A winning score is a thing to be desired but above that is the method of play. While learning these things, we are also learning the fundamentals for a bigger game. When we are through school we go out to play the game of life. Many times we are measured by our material accomplishments but the real score is how we play the game . Everyone must choose his plays but there is only one right way. For when the one Great Scorer comes To write against your name He writes not if you ivon or lost But how you played the game. Let every man that lives and owns himsell an Aniericnn take the side of true American principles. — Henry H ard Beecher. ASB£LL WARBRmOK S. H. S. COACHES Noble Lyons, head coach of football, basketball, and track, was a new comer in S. H. S. coaching ranks this year. His extensive experience in playing and his superb coaching aided him greatly in the development of successful teams. He was hampered with green material but he turned out teams that were well up in S. H. S. standards. Girls ' athletics have been coached for the past four years by Patience Dryden. The 1930-31 Owlette team showed the results of her able coaching. The games were won almost invariably by large margins, although some strong competition was encountered. Howard C. Henderson is a well known figure on the S. H. S. diamond. His coach- ing may be measured by the teams he has turned out. Anyone can testify to his ability in producing a smooth-running, hard-hitting baseball machine. It was largely through his efforts that the boys received sweaters in 1930. Ernest Asbell, coach of the Owlets, has developed the material for at least a por- tion of next year ' s Owl team. He is experienced and stands high in the coaching field, having made many indispensible contributions. Kenneth Warbritton is taskmaster and assistant coach of that grand old game, football. He whips material into shape in an incredibly short time. Coach War- britton knows his job and does it. He is a vital cog in our coaching system. Let us have jaith that righl makes might, iind in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. — Lincoln.

The line sweeps down on that all-important pig play for the first down after a flurr - of action and a good clean tackle, that anywhere else? Ask a player — he will tell you. A six game schedule was played this season. The final tally was four defeats and two decisive victories. The Seymour-Columbus game, at Columbus, resulting in a 19 to 6 score in favor of the Owls was undoubtedly the most interesting fray of the season. The score at the half was 6 to 6 — a tie. With a little fiery inducement on the part of the Coach, the Owls returned and ' stacked up two more touchdowns, ending the game in victory. The Carmel.

A 12-0 victory for Seymour. It is impossible to fasten any one player in a definite position. Coach Lyons saw to that! To play, a candidate must prove his ability — thus only could he cinch a position. Most of the team ' s material was new with the exceptions of Capt. McFadden, Nieman, Blevins. Weasner, and Williams, all having participated in previous years. Mac , as Captain, set an example of sportsmanship that was followed throughout the season by the entire team. Our Coach may be measured by this statement, delivered before every game, A team that won ' t be beaten is mighty hard to beat! He ' s not Ike or Lyons to the players, he ' s Coach , and anything else is nothing short of sacrilege to the team ' s memories. Second Roiu — Beldon, Goens, Hunsucker, Hunter, Reese, N.

Among the most spectacular victories were the Mitchell, Shortridge. and Washington games, played on the opposing teams ' floors. Seymour can not claim as high a percentage of victories as those displayed in former years, but one thing we can claim — the Owls have played the game to the last hitch and after all, that is what all true Seymour fans advocate. We are proud of our team and we ' ll be backing them next season — that ' s S. H. S. spirit. The basketball material was well sprinkled with new players this year. Capt. McFadden. Goens, Allegro, Butch ' Moritz, M. Rebber, and Borcherding were the only players from the previous year ' s varsity squad.

After one attended a few practices, he could see the magic the Coach used on these boys. There was no loafing. It may seem fairly easy to play, but the practices are not so thrilling. Foul-shoot- ing, dribbling, passing, plays, pivoting — that ' s all the Coach talked about and then he marched these boys out on the floor to play like veterans. Only Coach Lyons could instill the spirit in the Owls that they showed. Even though the team lost some games it was never beaten. Perhaps this was caused by the example set by the Coach. He is that kind of a coach and we ' re for him. Capt. McFadden will be the only player lost this year. With the remainder of the varsity squad and the Owlet material developed under Coach Asbell. next year ' s fans are assured of plenty of action and thrills.

GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Enthusiasm in girls ' basketball is increased each year. The many girls coming out for basket- ball this year were again divided into class teams. Much competition was displayed in the double-round elimination tournament played at the end of the season. The finals were played between the Seniors and Juniors in a hotly contested game.

Moritz, Lyons (Coach), Williams. Borcherding. Beldon, Allegro. Second Ron- — Veal, Weasner. Gerkensmeyer, Chenoweth, Schuerman, C. Gray. Bowden. Fox. First Row — Sciarra, Hudson, Gray, Tower, Fleetwood, Greemann, Rascoe. All that is best in American lije has come through loyalty and hardship. — Walter E. Ranger. ce.4- t-«- fRSESE , Coach f ] BOWWAN KASTING f B£U)ON OULB KL02I BASEBALL An invigorating sight is encountered when one drifts around a haseball field. The pitcher is winding up — the throw — the crack of the hat and then the sprint to first l ase! Is he safe? Yes. as assuredly safe as the Seymour fans are when the S. H. S. nine step on the field. The losses of the school nine are few, and plenty far between — no wonder the fans are sure. One of the precedents of our school is a winning haseball team. Coach H. C. Hen lerson routed out a good supply of material this year. Natural ability as well as work was generally displayed in the new material even as among the letter men. The team started out with a victory this year — over Columbus. Then followed four other vic- tories. In the Shelbyville game they played hard but lost by one point. Top Row — Gould. Welliver. Dittmer, Henderson (Coach), Richardson. Manning Second Row — Rebber, C. Moritz, Chambers, Hunter, Kasting, Nieman, Hughes. First Row — Storey, Baughman, Kloss, Bowman. Reese, Beldon, Goens.

It is one thing that will linger long in the minds of the departing Seniors and bring pleasant memories of S. H. S. to their minds. 24 Baccalaureate! Rev. Daniels gave a wonder- ful address and we were all much impressed. Mac : Do all girls like egotistical boys better than any other kind? Tony : Wliat other kind? We wonder. 29 •■ nd now we have Com- mencement ! The Seniors hate to leave the good old High but — it happens to every class — so they go forth into the world to make their own.
