,.@; ;H; THE CLASS OF 1934 In looking through the old Patriots of Shields High Sc hool one can find that every grad- uating class has been the most outstanding in its own estimation; however this class shall be content with only saying. 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
