The PAT RIOT 9). CAROLYN ANN BOLLINGER Editor WILLIAM PETER Business Manager PLATTER AND COMPANY Photographers INDIANAPOLIS ENGRAVING CO. Engravers CRAESSLE- MERCER COMPANY Printers The PATRIOT Published by SENIOR CLASS of SHIELDS HIGH SCHOOL Seymour, Indiana FOREWORD A history or memory book is of - - inestimable value to the gradu- ates of Shield High School, for in it are reflected the activities and acquaint- ances of a high school career, plus the individual appreciation and respect for our school and faculty. May the possessor of this Patriot value it not only for its present worth, but also as a treasured record of high school years. Thus, in years to come, when we endeavor to collect fragments of school memories, we shall, in turning through these pages, be carried back to these years of joys and trials — these years of education for citizenship. May these memories aroused ever prove to be a source of fresh inspiration to us. As you view and review this annual, we hope that you will feel the satisfac- tion that we, the staff, have found in its compilation. DEDICATION A ECAUSE of his many admirabl e V y qualities and his years of service cheerfully rendered, we, the Class of 1934, dedicate our annual to Ernest Asbell. As Principal of the Junior High School, he guided us along the way and made our years there enjoyable as well as constructive, and since his transfer- ence to Shields High School in 1932, he has served our Class not only as a de- voted instructor, but also as a staunch friend and counselor. The students of Shields High School have learned to love and respect him as a man of open-mindedness, high ideals, and intelligence. Gifted with a cheerful disposition and unusual wit and humor, he has won the hearts of all with whom he has come in contact. With this tribute to him, the Class of 1934 expresses its gratitude to Mr. Asbell. -S SCHOOL rtx rtitn ir .gj. CO OKIN O •?: X 1 DON A BOLLINGER President LENORE SWAILS Secretary GEORGE A. CLARK Treasurer THE BOARD OF EDUCATION The service rendered by a broad-minded and progressive Board of Educa- tion is one of importance. That Board which is always working with the higher welfare of the schools constantly in mind, and which extends to its executive officer the confidence and intelligent sympathy which brings out the best in him, is rendering a distinct public service. Seymour is fortunate in having such a Board of Education and its worth is reflected in the quality of the school system under its control. N. J. LASHER Superintendent N. J. Lasher ' s intelligent leadership and steadying influence during the educational crisis is deeply appreciated by the Class of 1934. His sense of fairness and business ability cannot be overestimated. J. R. MITCHELL Principal J. R. Mitchell has served us faithfully — inspiring, encouraging, and teaching us. His wisdom, understanding, and devotion to Shields High School have won the confidence and respect of each student. I FACULTY 10 FACULTY ROW I L.

We were at least different. Eighteen years ago one hundred and sixty-four squalling infants came into this world, and in less than two years they had this universe on its feet again, with the Armistice signed. It was a different beginning. This class is composed not only of Hoosiers but also of pupils from various sections of the United States. We come from Rhode Island, Maryland, Alabama, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, Oklahoma, and even from the windswept plains of Texas. All of us were brought together by some fate to form the Class of 1934, and among us we have different races and personalities, extremes on each side, yet regardless of our differences in opinions, ideals and beliefs, we have formed a class which cannot easily be forgotten. We received our elementary education in the city grade and parochial schools and in the various township schools. On September 8. 1930, we enrolled as Freshmen and to be dif- ferent we were not of the usual green color, but we were rather intelligent, leading the classes on the honor roll every year of our four years ' sojourn. Our Sophomore year was marked by a few brilliant flashes of scholastic achievement in Latin, mathematics, and athletics. During the latter part of the year we took over the school paper and published the largest edition in the history of our school. The last part of our school visit was the most interesting. As juniors, we elected Louis Ackerman, President; Bertha Holland, Vice-President; and Betsy Cohn, Secretary-Treasurer. Our athletes had already excelled in this field of activity, our Latin enthusiasts were still winning, and we continued to lead the classes on the honor roll. We presented a different play, Applesauce , which enabled us to entertain the Seniors with a different reception. The decorating and styling effect of the Junior-Senior Reception was indeed different — a cabaret in the bottom of the sea. And now to the last episode in this brief recording of events. After a brief, but thrilling summer for every one of us either at Heflin ' s, Camp Bedford, or at the World ' s Fair, we came together and enrolled for the last time. We already felt rather peculiar in the knowledge of the fact that this was to be the last year. In the organization of the class Paul Preuss was, elected President; Bertha Holland, Vice-President; Glen Curtis, Secretary; and Louis Acker- man, Treasurer. Continuing true to form, we began working on a different Patriot, one without advertising, but supported wholly by the school. You can see the results of our efforts in this book which you are reading. On the night of February 1, 1934, the Senior Class presented a surprisingly different show, Melody on Parade , an original interpretation of a few ideas. This show had a cast of one hundred people including the Seymour Symphony Orchestra, The crowd which witnessed the performance was the largest in the history of the school. Our last year was marked with a display of personalities, decidedly different. Never be- fore has such a group of people been brought together; however, our differences were fused until a true feeling of class fellowship prevailed enabling us to finish our high school in a blaze of glory with the production of Take My Advice , and the announcement of the largest Senior Honor Roll ever to be recorded in this school. Baccalaureate, Class Day, the Senior Breakfast, and Commencement, rang down the curtain on the Class of 1934. I 12 ;H.

CORA CADDELL i No Picture! Pineville High School 1, 2, 3; Senior Chorus 4; Clee Club 4, Before we close our high school career, we pause a moment in thoughtful meditation upon the memory of those whom Death has taken from us. Opal Combs was killed in 1930 when we were freshmen, and on November 4, 1933 Maxine Mendel! was also taken from us. Death came when it was least ex- pected, yet it must have been for the good. Let us close this summary of the different events of our four years together with this thought: When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And Death says, Life ' s school is dismissed! I shall miss them at morn and at eve. Their song in the school and the street; I shall miss the low hum of their voices. And the tramp of their delicate feet. 23 I JUNIORS HOME ROOM 317 TOP ROW: Francis Horning, John Hirtzel, Irvin McPike, Donald Henry, Francis Lahne, Eugene Heideman, Lewis Hutchens.

Hl-Y CLUB CHRISTOPHER MORITZ President LOUIS ACKERMAN Vice-President )OHN GILL Secretary CLEM ROEGGE Treasurer Hi-Y is the high school Young Men ' s Christian Association. This movement arose from a need felt by high school boys for a rallying point for those who desired to stand for high ideals. Early in its development the Hi-Y movement adopted for its major purpose the Creating, Maintaining and Extending throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character. The Hi-Y Club of Shields High School is affiliated with the State Young Men ' s Christian Association. It is supervised by R. J. Duke, Assistant State Secretary in charge of the South- ern Division. The Club this year has on its roll an unusually large number of underclassmen. It meets every two weeks and alternates fun and fellowship programs with those of a serious nature. The Club attends several district and State Older Boys Conferences each year, and through this means opportunity is given for group discussions of problems peculiar to boy interests, and for contacting men of outstanding ability who bring messages of value to youth. It is hard to conceive of a civilization flourishing long if a large number of its young men fail to dedicate themselves, with all the talents entrusted to them, to the promotion of the highest and best interpretations of life. Hi-Y aims to help an ever increasing number of boys to do this. Not only will they get greater satisfaction from life, but they will contribute in a more generous measure to the welfare and happiness of others. 37 I TOP ROW: Tormoehlen, Goforth.

I will try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making the community in which I live a safer and more beautiful place for little children. Thus will my life become rich and complete. The Sunshine Society was divided into two sections this year: the Juniors and Seniors under the direction of Miss Feaster, and the So phomores and Freshmen under the direction of Mrs. Hamilton. In addition to minor services, the two sections co-operated in two major proiects for the year. One was the Clothe-A-Child Campaign. The society was divided into nineteen groups of three girls each, each of which assisted in clothing and training an under-privileged child. Each child was provided with clothing, towels and soap at Christmas and Easter. The second project is the Sunshine Convention. The society has tried to procure funds for the convention several different ways — sponsoring a show, One Man ' s Journey , having a cookie sale which brought in about twenty dollars, and sponsoring a food sale at the Carnival. The Sunshine Society will go to Heflin ' s Camp two weeks during July. 38 r TOP ROW: Patrick, Bedel, Buhner, Briner, Coforth, V. Ahlbrand, Noelker.

HIKING CLUB TRAVIS CARTER President ELVIN HARMON Vice-President THERESSA SHANNON Secretary MISS DRYSDEN | , MR. MITCHELL ( Sponsors A Hiking Club was organized in Shields High School for the first time at the beginning of the fall semester of the present school year with Mr. Mitchell and Miss Dryden as sponsors. The club was open to all students of Shields High School who had a desire to hike for the enjoyment found in the doing of it. They all gain through its activities a spirit of friend- liness, fastened by the sharing of experiences with others — a delight in finding interesting secrets of Nature, a hunger created on the trail, and in the end, a feeling of satisfaction for having accomplished something worthwhile. There seems too, to be a feeling of longing among members of the club to travel harder trails and longer distances, especially if in the end there is the reward of juicy wieners and brown toasted marshmallows. This club has had a number of interesting hikes but by no means exhausting the supply of interesting places to be found around Seymour. The first year of the hiking club has been successful. 39 I TOP ROW: Decker, Parker, Buhner, V.

Its membership consists of those students who are enrolled in the Latin classes. The club meets regularly the first and third Friday of each month. It furnishes an opportunity for the pleasurable learning of much about the Romans and their civilization, for which there is not sufficient time in class to study. The purpose of the organization is to develop leadership and responsibility, encourage originality, maintain and develop an interest in the Latin language, and to secure a clearer insight into the laws, cus- toms, religion, and life of the Romans. The programs also show that the civilization of today is not the work of today alone, but an inheritance of the times when Rome was the Mother- city of the world. They are planned with a view to giving a deeper understanding of the subject matter in its broader implications and a wider acqunintance w.th and appreciation of the language in general. The Club motto is Semper Fidelis (always faithful). 40 - TOP ROW: Thompson, Trueblood, Mr. No3 (Sponsor), Coens, Sherber. .MIDDLE ROW: Daniels, I. Kirsch, Huffman, Storey, Black, M. Kirsch, Himler.

NOE The Science Club of 1933-34 closes another successful year. Although few in number, the members were willing to undertake and successfully complete several projects: the pro- moting of a closer relationship between the different fields of science, distributing home made candy to several families at Christmas time, selling candy to defray expenses of the club during the school year, and having charge of concessions at the Columbus basketball game. Ample opportunity has been given in the various programs to stress the social side of the club. The educational programs consisted of discussions about the contributions of famous scientists and how these contributions affect our everyday lives. Talks were given that opened new avenues of thought concerning the present trends in the scientific fields. Much credit is due the club for its untiring efforts in keeping the school museum in first class condition. Shields High School needs to be proud of its museum as it is the finest in Southern Indiana. It is the desire of the present club that the future Science Clubs carry on the work of classifying the museum and spare no effort to carry on the work so nobly progressed by the 1933-34 Science Club. 4] I TOP ROW: Schlitzer.

The original purpose of the club was the study of local history, but with a large member- ship, it was found advisable to have programs of general interest to please the diversity of: tastes. Among the activities of the History Club were a debate concerning the N R A and the singing of songs having significant historical backgrounds; namely Tramp, Tramp, Tramp , Battle Hymn of the Republic , My Maryland , The Battle Cry of Freedom , We ' re Tenting Tonight , Dixie , and Oh Susanna . The showing of the following lantern slides dealing with historical backgrounds, Constitution and Another Russia , Evolution of Man , Revolutionary Days of Tennessee was educational as well as entertaining. One inter- esting field trip took the club to Tipton ' s Island where Mr. Lockridge spoke on Indian Mound and the Battle of Tippecanoe .

Its purpose was to discuss plays and promote an interest in dramatic art. There was one compulsory project. Each m ember had to make a Dramatics notebook which included pictures of scenes from plays, photographs of the actors and actresses, play reviews, theater and stage notes, and write-ups about the plays. The material in these notebooks was to be taken from the stage and not the screen. Many interest- ing and beautiful books were compiled. During its existence the club had concessions at a basketball game and assisted in many of the school projects. The programs included dramatic readings, music and reviews of the latest plays. Some of them were Dinner at Eight , Design for Living , and One Sunday Afternoon . This club was discontinued at the end of the first semester and the Debate Club was organized in its place. 43 I TOP ROW: Hackman, Largent. C. Waggoner, Whitson, S;erp. SECOND ROW: Stanfield, R.

ART CLUB HELEN WINCE President FRANCES HORNING Vice-President LAWRENCE WHITSON Secretary-Treasurer MR. MURRAY Sponsor The Students Art Club was reorganized at the beginning of the fall semester. A point system was established and the constitution was revised. The club sponsored an educational art exhibit during National Educational Week. At Christmas time, art club members, in cooperation with the Seymour Welfare Associa- tion, repainted and repaired toys for the needy children of the city. Nearly five hundred toys were repaired and painted. These were later distributed by the American Legion. When the redecoration of the school building was completed, the Art Club rearranged and rehung the pictures in the various rooms and prepared a catalog containing the names of all the pictures in the high school together with the descriptions of the pictures and biographical sketches of the artists. This catalog is for future use in the home rooms. A large display of Japanese art prints was sponsored by the Art Club as its Spring Educa- tional Exhibit. The club is making preparations for the final spring meeting which includes an all day field trip to the Brown County colony of artists. 44 i H TOP ROW; Griffith.

LEADERS ' CLUB PAUL PREUSS President ROBERT CLINE Vice-President BERTHA HOLLAND Secretary MR. MITCHELL Sponsor The Leaders ' Club was first organized in the fall of 1931. It is composed of duly elected representatives of the Home Rooms in Shields High School. The purpose of the club is to assist in the direction and promotion of the various activities of the school, to develop and; maintain a spirit of cooperation and service between the faculty and student body and td recommend and suggest policies and changes that would improve our school. The club has lived up to its purpose and has done much for our school. It has helped to create a finer morale among our students, a wider interest in the affairs of the school, an at- tendance consciousness, a keener interest in scholarship. The Leaders ' Club meets weekly and hears the reports of the various committees through which it functions. There are committees on Play-Grounds, Intramural Sports, Athletics, Clubs, Home Rooms, the School Assembly, Publicity, Lost and Found, and others. The major project this year has been the making of i constitution for the club and the evaluation of all school activities in an effort to establish a standardized system of awards. 45 I TOP ROW: Huffman, Neawedde, Heideman, Clouse, Kaley, Barneft.

The Radio Club meets every Friday and on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. Unlike most of the clubs of Shields High School, the Radio Club does not have any programs, but the periods are spent in instruction and discussion of the principles of radio. Everyone in the club is required to build a small radio receiver. Some made their receivers at home and brought them to school to be tested. Before club credit is given to members, their receivers must be approved by an inspector, who is appointed for each inspection by the Radio Club. At the beginning of the second semester, the officers were unanimously reelected. The members have been working hard and several have completed their sets. The theory instruction IS given by the president and the vice-president, who have had little difficulty in teaching the fundamentals of a simple radio receiving set. It is hoped by the present members, that the club will continue in the years to come, and that its enrollment will increase from year to year, for they can see the possibilities of radio and television in the future. 45 I TOP ROW: J.

The first semester meetings were held on the second and fourth Mondays of every month. In these meetings the time was spent in learning things for which there was no time to study in class: embroidery work, making of rugs, and other fancy work. The second semester twenty-six girls joined the club. On some of the cold days during January and February the students hastened to the kitchen at noon where they were nourished with hot chili soup, pie, milk, toasted cheese sand- wiches, and other hot dishes. The girls were kept busy serving the soups, toasting the sand- wiches, and refilling the coffee cups. They also served dinners for various occasions. On April 17, the Home Economics Club cooked and served a banquet for the Future Farmer ' s Club boys and their fathers. They also served supper on April 27 to those who wished to eat at school or come early for the carnival. 47 I -1 ipgSj STANDING: E. Fox, Monroe, Lucas, P. Preuss, Eggersman, Martin, Thias.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra began its season this year under handicaps; the director was new, there were not enough stringed instruments, and most of the members were inexperienced. Mrs. Hemmer immediately began to overcome the odds by adding new members and giving private lessons. The orchestra was fortunate in having James Compton, a good first violinist return to school to take a post-graduate course. By the beginning of the second semester it was a fairly complete organization. A string bass, a cello, and a snare drum had been added. The instruments are played as follows: FIRST VIOLIN Slung, Snyder, Kamman, Watkins, Tas- key, Compton. and Shannon SECOND VIOLIN Watkins, Jeffers, Brand, Mellencamp, Huber, E .

BAND This is one organization whose deeds and activities are recorded in the blaring, spiriting music of a brass band. Our band this year is the largest one ever to represent Shield ' s High School. It is composed of forty-seven musicians. Every one is familiar with the activities of the band, because it has played on the football field and in the gymnasium at basketball games. The value of a band cannot really be estimated until one has participated in athletics and has heard the band strike up. It instills that something that all the yelling of a student body cannot. The band has appeared at various convocations, presenting meritorious programs, especially did it at the Music Week convocation. It is one organization that is prepared at any time when the principal calls. Through the efforts of Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Glaze, the band has grown rapidily, nearly doubling its roster in two years. The band will lose eight members by graduation; however there are promises of a still larger band next year. The training which the band offers is of much value. Cooperation, precision, and self- control are all benefits which one derives from work in this organization. To Mr, Glaze goes much deserved credit for the efficiency of our band. His experiences in army and university bands and also his five years as director of our high school band makes him well fitted to conduct. 49 TOP ROW: Wolter, Clouse, Moritz, Hunter, Sutherland.

BOYS ' GLEE CLUB LILLIAN MILLER Accompanist MRS HEMMER Director The Boys ' Glee Club was reorganized this year. The club meets every Monday and Thurs- day morning during the third period. They did not elect any officers. Due to the small membership, the club was unable to make large presentations during the first semester. At Christmas, however, dressed in black robes they opened the program with a processional Oh, Come All Ye Faithful. The Glee Club sang several numbers for Freshman Introductory Day, April IS. The most outstanding program presented by the entire group was given during Music Appreciation Week. The program included popular and classical music. They also learned popular num- bers for the Commencem.ent fetes. The voices are arranged as follows: First Tenors: Earl Persinger, Ed. Lewis, George Henderson, and George Watkins. Second Tenors: Everett Kaley, Arthur Clouse, Oswald Lange, and Louis Ackerman. First Bass: William Barnett, Paul Preuss, Samuel Hawn, and Paul Cline. Second Bass: Brooks Hunter, Christopher Moritz, Denver Sutherland, and Ray Wolter. A Senior male quartette was also organized and it participated in the programs of several different churches. They sang at the St. Paul Church and Trinity Methodist Church. Their program included such numbers as The Old Rugged Cross, and Evening Prayer, On Friday, April 13, they sang for the Riley Parent Teachers ' Association. They were also featured in the Music Appreciation Week and featured different programs o ' ' classical and popular music during Commencement week. ' 50 TOP ROW: Daniels, Burckdall, Cohn, Voss, A.

HEMMER Director Ability to agreeably express one ' s feeling in song is regarded as an important asset to personality. To develop that ability, sixty girls of Senior High School under the direction of Mrs. Grace Hemmer met regularly throughout the school year and practiced diligently in harmonizing on music of a high type. They entered earnestly into practice, many of them entertaining secret hopes and ambitions to be soloists of note. The organization has contributed im.measurably to the music life of the school, for it was to the Girls ' Glee Club that members of the faculty convocation program committee turned throughout the year when they needed numbers of merit to complete a program upon very short notice. The group presented two programs at vesper services of St. Paul ' s Congrega- tional Church, it sang impressively at the special Thanksgiving and Christmas convocation programs, and its members took prominent parts in the operetta, Pinocchio , a presentation having a cast of two hundred pupils, ranging from the first grade through Senior High School. Outfitted in trim, yet smart black uniforms, with white collars and cuffs, the girls made a distinctive appearance, which added much to the effectiveness of the programs on which they appeared. 51 I TOP ROW: Travis Carter, Morris, Hackman, Black, Beatty, Henderson, Waggoner, Frost, McKinney.

SCOUT CLUB Character-building, so essential to any boy entering manhood, is too frequently left to chance, with tragic results. Many obstacles are hindering the growth of this much needed quality. Leisure time, perhaps the most harmful, has increased more rapidly than helpful leisure activities, and a hundred opportuniites have arisen for the unworthy use and abuse of this u:-i0ccupied time. Character, when poorly trained, is like a badly constructed building, which may at any moment totter and fall with disastrous results to some unfortunate boy. The life of youth is many times aimless, purposeless, and empty. Scouting is a remedy for this condition, because it is a social progr am having a goal for which one may strive. The Scout Club in our school enjoys thoroughly the entire program. The following poem is one which every Scout should use as a guide m life. To live as gently as I can; To be, no matter where, a man ; To take what comes, of good or ill; And cling to faith and honor still. To do my best and let that stand The record of my brain and hand; And then, if failure comes to me, To work and wait for victory. 52 TOP ROW: Mr. Wood (Sponsor), (Sponsor) , Mr. Asbell (Sponsor) Swengel, Wagner, Kaley, Reinhart, Briner, Mr. Noe THIRD ROW: Horning, Fox, Huffman, Daily, Carpenter, Whitcomb, Watkins, Elmore.

STUDENT PATROL The Student Patrol was organized in 1931, with Mr. Noe, Mr. Asbell, and Mr. Wood as sponsors, and with Victor Siefker ' 34 as captain. The Student Patrol used Stop and Go signs at the corners of Fifth and Walnut and at Sixth and Walnut streets. In 1932, the Student Patrol was reorganized with the same sponsors, and with Chester Droege ' 33 as Captain. At the beginning of the 1933-34 school year, the Student Patrol was continued under the supervision of the same sponsors, with Charles Huffman ' 34 as Captain. In October 1933, the Linco National Safety Patrol system was inaugurated. Under this system the Stop and Go signs were removed and the Patrol Officers stopped pedestrians only at the approach of an automobile. At this time a patrol was organized in the Junior High School with Mr. Everdon as sponsor, and James Robert Mitchell 38 and Billy Hubbard 38 associate Captains. The Student Patrol was organized for the protection of students, and has done much in the prevention of accidents. Since the Patrol has been organized, there has not been a single accident at the school due to earless drivers and pedestrians. S ' nce the patrol of 1933-34 has been organized, jaywalking , which had become a common practice, has been almost completely abolished in the vicinity of the school. The patrol feels justly proud of this accomplishment because jaywalking was a dangerous practice. 53 ;H. ' ■ .. . TOP ROW; Fox, Ahlbrand, Miss McHenry iDaan of Cirlsl, Patrick, Brand.

GIRLS ' SPONSORS SENIORS BERTHA HOLLAND MARY LOU MATTHEWS JUNIORS EVELYN AHLBRAND MARGARET BRAND MISS McHENRY, Sponsor SOPHOMORES BETTY HOADLEY DELORES MILLER FRESHMEN DOROTHY FOX JANE PATRICK Since 1925 the Girls ' Sponsors have been active in Shields High School. The group is composed of eight Senior High School girls elected from their respective classes to act as an advisory board with the Dean for the betterment of the school. The meetings during this year have been held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. During the year, the group has sponsored girls ' meetings as a way to bring about a friendly spirit among the girls, develop a keener interest in school and school problems, and bring into the limelight talents of the students. The programs have been varied; some were given by Miss McHenry, assisted by sponsors or other members of the student body, and others have been given wholly by students. The Easter program was one of the most impressive of the year. The Easter story from the twentieth chapter of St. John furnished an appropriate background for the program because it was women who first appeared at the tomb and it was they who were commissioned to go and tell that Christ had risen. 54 H s is s TOP ROW: Ackerman, Miss McHenry (Sponsor), Brown, Peter, Fox SECOND ROW: Shade, Haas, Curtis, Mr. Glaze (Sr. Sponsor), Holland.

As the end of the year is close and soon the Patroit will be printed, we come to the realization that we have found our stride, and that, through harmony and cooperation, success is inevitable. The 1934 Patriot has varied from the usual manner of production. Without adver- tising and other outside aid, it is being supported wholly by the school and by subscription. Using knowledge that Miss McHenry and Mr. Glaze have gleaned from the experience of past staffs and what ingenuity we of the present staff have, we have compiled this annual to the best of our ability. Each one of us, because of our working together, has gained something valuable — a knowledge that the joy of life is work, and that responsibility is a privilege indeed. i 55 I a@s-_ TCP ROW: Kiel, Baughman, Fill, J.

FUTURE FARMERS CARL HARLOW President HAROLD BRACKEMYRE Vice-President WILFRED BAUGHMAN Secretary ROGER FINDLEY Treasurer LYNN STOUT Reporter The Seymour Chapter of Future Farmers of America was organized five years ago and has grown steadily under the sponsorship of Mr. Henderson, until this year the membership reached fifty. The purposes of this organization are: 1. To create and nurture a love of country l,fe. 2. To provide recreational and educational entertainment for its members. 3. To promote vocational agriculture. 4. To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations. 5. To promote thrift. 6. To afford a medium of co-operative buying and selling. 7. To promote scholarship. 8. To develop local leadership. The club sent four delegates to the annual state Congress at Purdue, held a father-son banquet, and sponsored a program for convocation. Two of its members, Carl Harlow and Harold Brackemyre, have been honored by promotion to Hoosier Farmer , the third degree of the organization. Carl Harlow is also an officer of the state organization. 56 I DEM05THENE5 TWKimmDQmm ■ m - :: -sxsaii -iK THE OWLETS THE TRMKSqUAS) i.. i , H; ' !

W i- ATHLETICS W xrhert iT.Cf COOKlNC •0 cAciiive, ::: ;. « O PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is that phase of education which is concerned, first, with the organization and leadership of students in the big-muscle activities, to gain the development and the adjustment inherent in the activities according to social standards; and, second, with the control of health or growth conditions naturally associated with the leadership of the activities, so that the educational process may go on without growth handicaps. With these views in mind, Mr. Lyons and Mr. Keach set about to find some plan by which activities could be arranged so that every stu- dent could take part in some phase of athletic games. They decided to organize league teams with ten boys from each home room forming the team. One hundred and sixty boys took part in these games and much interest was shown. The teams had a regular schedule, and then played a tournament to determine the best team. The final contest was played between Home Room 317, a Junior group, sponsored by Miss Anderson, and Home Room 209, a Freshman group sponsored by Miss Feaster. The Juniors won 13 to 12, thereby winning the silver cup. After the basketball season was over, softball was organized, and again the Home Rooms competed in games held after school hours. The Home Rooms and their teams exhibited the usual pep and enthusiasm about these spirited games that they did about basketball. Seymour recognizes the fact that there is no end to the good that can come from a properly conducted class in physical education — last- ing health, correct posture, physical grace, alert mind, well toned mus- cularity, and coordination of muscle and sense. Systematic physical education has been added in our high school comparatively recently. It got the present impetus about 1918 because of results obtained when the soldiers were given physical examimation for war service. Over one-third of the young men who were examined for military service were rejected because of physical unfitness. Fourteen states immediately passed compulsory physical education laws. Because of the realization that education is for the student ' s adult life as well as the present life, the Seymour School Board has employed competent physical education instructors. Miss Dryden and Mr. Lyons, to supervise the activities. 65 I TOP ROW: Mr. Henderson (Faculty Business Manager), Kendall, Miller, Hirtzel, Hunter, Koerner, Carter, Mr. Lyons (Coach I.

A schedule of five games was played and at the end of every battle, Seymour was at the wrong end of the score. When the season closed, seven Seniors laid the Purple and White away forever: Koerner, Hunter, Carter. R. Davis. Storey. Ackerman. and Preuss. Handicapped by injuries of all descriptions from ankles to noses, the boys developed an attitude of Take it and like it . The season opened with Bloomington at Bloomington, then New Albany there, followed by three home games. Although the team lost every game, yet we can and should be proud of its record. Seymour was the only team in the state to score on Southport, the state champions. No captain was elected but before every game an acting captain was appointed. Koerner was probably the most consistent linesman, with Hunter, a four letter man, doing creditable work in the backfield. Football benefits a great number of boys every year and it develops a mental attitude which no other sport can. Although he may be small of stature, he can go into scrimmage and learn to give and to take. Much credit should be given to Coach Lyons for his instruction in the dressing room and on the field, and for his demand for clean play at all times. 66 i BASKETBALL Coach Lyons found himself at the start of the season w.th five men, all Seniors of previous basketball experience, around whom to build this year ' s squad. The Owls faced a tough schedule of twenty games, playing Shelbyville in the first contest. Several old rivals were on the schedule: Columbus, Mitchell, Bedford, and Salem. With the help of Mr. Keach who coached the second team. Coach Lyons instilled within the members of the squad a fine sportsmen-like attitude. In many close games during the season, the boys showed their ability to play basketball and to defend the Purple and White. At the Sectional Tournament, held in Seymour, the Owls did not meet any difficult competition. After winning the sectional tournament, Seym.our was eligible to compete in the Regional Tournament at Jeffersonville the following week. The Owls were destined to meet their old rival, Mitchell, in the first game of the tourna- ment. Seymour had defeated Mitchell twice during the season, but they were dangerous rivals. After a fast and exciting game, the Owls defeated Mitchell. Jeffersonville defeated Paoli in the evening game so that brought Seymour and Jeffersonville together that night. Jeffersonville had a very strong team and maintained a high rating among Southern Indiana teams. The game that evening was very close and at no time was one team more than four points ahead of its opposition. When the final gun sounded the score was Seymour, twenty-four, and. Jeffersonville, twenty-six. Thus by two points the Seymour Owls failed to compete in the State Tournament at Indianapolis. Five Seniors played practically that whole game and received much well earned praise for their efforts. TOP ROW: Hunter, center; Coach Lyons, Sage, forward. SECOND ROW: R.

Color teams were chosen and these were captamed by Marjorie Butcher, Louise Noelker, Dorothy Jane Sweazey, Ethel Hazzard, Jane Patrick, Sylvia Zickier, Alpha Kysar, Betty Hoadley, Helen Hunter, and Dorothy Siefker. A double-elimination tournament was held with Dorothy Siefker and Jane Patrick ' s teams winning. The final game was played between these two teams and Dorothy Siefker ' s team won. Class teams were organized and much rivalry was manifested in the class tournament. The captains of the class teams were: Louise Noelker, Seniors; Jean Hopewell, Juniors; Dorothy Siefker, Sophomores; and Jane Patrick, Freshmen. In the first round of play the Juniors were defeated by the Freshmen and the Seniors won over the Sophomores. The Seniors and Freshmen played and the game resulted in a tie. The game was played again with the final score, 9 to 6 in favor of the Freshmen. Girls ' basketball is becoming a more popular outlet for extra vim and energy. The girls enjoy that spirit of determination and team work which it takes to play any game well. The game is an education in itself. It teaches the care of the body, co-operation, good social contact, and ultimately better characters and citizens. 68 I TOP ROW: Freeman. SECOND ROW: Flint, Curtis, Kysar. Cline.

' i ' i sH -J-i TUMBLING MISS DRYDEN, Coach At the beginning of the year the tumbling team had a membership of fifteen, but two girls have withdrawn. The girls of the present tumbling team are Vernabelle Cherry, Mar|orie Freeman, Pat O ' Connor, Betty Curtis, Margaret Mendell, Mary Belle O ' Connor, Evelyn Biggs, Carolyn Kasper, Helen Heiwig, Dorothy Siefker, Margaret Brand, Rebecca Flint, Mildred CIme, Joyce Glasson, and Elizabeth Beldon. These girls have worked hard and have learned many feats of skill which have been dis- played to the public several times during the year. They meet for practice on Monday and- Wednesday during the home room period. This year ' s performances have been considerably different from those of former years for the girls have learned many new stunts. Some of them are double dive, stomach balance, diving, elbow cartwheel, human bar, stride head stand pyramid, fan pyramid, double pedestal, one hand cartwheel, head spring, and backward handspring. One performance was given at a High School convocation; another before the Lions ' Club at the First Methodist Church, a benefit performance for a Chili Supper, sponsored by a Sunday School class of the Christian Church, and several stunts were performed during a recent basketball game. Vernabelle Cherry who is an outstanding tumbler is able to do many daring feats, some of which are roundoff, backward extension roll, and chest roll. Marjorie Freeman and Margaret Mendell have also been outstanding in their work. The coach, Miss Dryden, has made tumbling an interesting pastime for she takes a personal interest in each member. 69 TOP ROW: H. Zickler. York, Stahl, Coach Henderson. Coforth, Bowman, Nieman.

BASEBALL There was some question this year ccncerning a baseball team. After much discussion and consideration the school officials arranged a four game schedule. The Owls played two games with Columbus, one at home and the other there, but were unable to overcome the Columbus team and lost both games. The Owls then played two games with Madison and were defeated both times. This year ' s team d id not start practice until rather late in the season. The team was weak in experience, only five men having played baseball in high school before. Despite these handicaps they made a very good showing and displayed a spirit that is seldom equaled and never excelled. Only five men will be lost by graduation. 70 SUMMARY OF SEASON Sept. 16 Sept. 23 Sept. 29 Oct. 6 Oct. 13 FOOTBALL Bloomington Seymour New Albany Seymour Shelbyville Seymour Southport Seymour 6 Columbus Seymour 21 20 13 13 28 Nov. 10 Nov. 17 Nov. 24 Nov. 29 Dec. 1 Dec. 8 Dec. 12 Dec. 13 Dec. 19 Jan. 5 Jan. 12 Jan. 19 Jan. 20 Jan. 26 Jan. 27 Feb. 2 Feb. 3 Feb. 9 Feb. 16 Feb. 23 BASKETBALL Shelbyville Here Mitchell There Columbus There Bloomington There Salem Here Creensburg There Bedford There North Vernon Here Brownstown Here Jeffersonville There Shortridge Here Mitchell Here New Albany There Scottsburg Here Franklin There Paoli There Creensburg Here Washington Here Salem There Columbus Here WE 22 27 27 19 19 12 THEY 24 20 19 30 10 18 Forfeited by Bedford 17 29 15 26 27 1 1 21 13 27 17 25 21 17 10 15 17 31 26 16 24 25 16 19 22 1 1 32 BASEBALL May 1 1 Seymour 2 Columbus 6 Here May 15 Seymour 2 Columbus 4 There May 18 Seymour 2 Madison 7 Here May 21 Seymour 5 Madison 9 There 71 r 9 AUTOGRAPHS 72 Heckman BINDERY.
