Glaze Faculty Business Manager OUR SCHOOL, VIA THE 1936 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF SHIELDS HIGH SCHOOL CONTENTS ACADEMIC GENERAL VOCATIONAL ACADEMIC   Those Shields High School students who wish a well balanced course as well as a college preparatory one will find it in the Academic Course. The school, believing that the study of a foreign language trains the memory and judgment, that it offers values utilitarian and cultural, and that it makes for international good-will, offers two languages — Latin and Spanish. Those students who enjoy mathematics and who need it as a foundation for future work will find that the school provides, in addition to the usual algebra and geometry courses, college algebra, trigonometry, and business arithmetic. Four years of English are offered as well as Business English and a Bible course that may be substituted for English credit. The courses cover a rather comprehensive survey of American and English Literature and provide study of a cultural nature that will give a wholesome appreciation of the artistic element of literature. Grammar, too, receives its share of consideration throughout the four years. The social sciences through the study of history, civics, and current events teach the pupil to accept his responsibilities as an American citizen. Through the chemistry, physics, and biology courses the school provides an abundance of interest and research for the scientifically minded students. Two hundred and twenty students are enrolled this year in the Academic Course. IN ENGLISH CLASS Page Four « « GENERAL The faith of the American people in the high school may be measured by the increasingly large numbers of students entering its doors. Parents properly desire for their boys and girls the education that provides them an even chance in the competition for work. With the rise in the school population has come a much wider range of interests and abilities among the students. Many do not wish to attend college or prepare for any specific vocation or trade. They desire a course of study which will provide them with general information and training of high standard, and which will equip them to become worthy members of the home and com- munity. Shields High School offers such a liberal course. It provides opportunity to explore in practically all fields except that of foreign language, having as the required subjects the minimum set up by the State Board of Education and a maximum of variable or elective subjects. A credit is given for each semester ' s work successfully completed. A semes- ter is half a school year. The requirements for graduation from the General Course are as follows: eight credits in English, two credits in mathematics, two in science, four in history, two in civics and economics, two in community civics, and two in health and physical education. Since thirty-two credits are required for graduation, this leaves ten credits to be obtained from elective subjects. In the Academic Course, five elective credits are needed and in the Vocational Course six are required; therefore the General Course gives more freedom in the selection of studies. Approximately one-third of the students in school are enrolled in the General Course this year. ON THE PLAYGROUND Page Fi VOCATIONAL  , For those students who are interested in the various phases of vocational training, Shields High School can meet adequately their needs. The Vocational Agricultural Department was established in 1918 and has been increasing in interest yearly. Through its various projects boys get special training who otherwise could never have it. The training in corn judging, live- stock judging, and the various types of 4-H Club work helps to make more progressive and better satisfied farmers. The Manual Arts Department, originally a part of the Art Department, was begun in 1918. In 1920 Manual Training was introduced. In 1922 the old gymnasium was converted into a manual training room and a complete new set of equipment was installed. Yearly new equipment has been added and the department extended. Today, in addition to learning the construction of and appreciation for furniture, the boys learn many other skills. The Home Economics Department was established in 1918 but did not be- come Vocational until 1934. Through its courses in nursing, interior decorating, home management, sewing, and cooking, it helps to arouse interest in better and happier homes. The Commercial Department has grown rapidly since its establishment in 1926. Much new equipment was added last year, thus making it possible to assist in publishing the Shields Owl. The courses taught are stenography, typing, bookkeeping, and practical office training. There are one hundred and fifty-eight students enrolled in the Vocational Course. IN THE SHOP Page Si) SCHOOL LENORE SWAILS Secretary GEORGE A. CLARK President ALBERT P. CHARLES Treasurer THE SCHOOL BOARD Those who direct the destinies of the Seymour Public Schools are appointed for a three-year period by the City Council. Their duties as fixed by law, involve the establishment and maintenance of the public school system. The Board, together with the Superintendent of Schools, meets in regular session on the first Monday night of each month to determine policies relating to all phases of the school program. The development of our school system is largely attributed to the interest and support of the past and present School Boards who receive little financial reward for their services but who serve the school because of their interest in youth and the community. Page Eight NORMAN J. LASHER Superintendent of Seymour Schools Norman J. Lasher ' s eleventh year of service as Superin- tendent of Seymour Schools has drawn to a close — eleven years of devotion and untiring efforts in the furtherance of educational aims and ideals. These eleven years have marked a great expansion of Seymour Schools, materially and academically; the initiation and completion of three great building projects and the establishment of courses to meet the changing educational needs and demands of the students. We, the Seniors, wish to express our appreciation and recognition of all that Superintendent Lasher has contributed to Seymour Schools in the past and all that lies ahead in the future under the influence of his vision and inspiration. J. RUSSELL MITCHELL Principal of Shields High School In addition to his many duties and responsibilities as Principal of Shields High School, Mr. Mitchell is always available for consultation and for giving helpful advice to those who seek it. Because of his profound interest in young people, he has been instrumental in helping many pupils to discover and to develop their latent possibilities. Whether Mr. Mitchell is associated with students in work or in play, his ultimate aim is always to mould the raw material of a heterogeneous group into a corps of good citizens. His untiring efforts for the furtherance of education will always be appreciated. Paga Nine FACULTY Top Row— Charles F. Wood, Ernest Asbell, Howard R. Noe, Kenneth N. Warbritton, Walter L. Surface.

Friends and fellow-citizens, it is our purpose to introduce to you in the following pages a group of amateurs — one hundred and eleven of them. This group qualifies as amateurs in practically all phases of activity except one. In rhis one thing they have become professionals. We are here to tell you the engrossing story of their entering professional ranks by becoming graduates of Shields High School. Their story of adventure began with their entry into Shields High School as the Freshman class in Page Fourteen RICHARD A. BRAND St. Louis, Mo. I; Mt.

In the class toda y there are students from various parts of Indiana and the middle-west. It is a matter of record that the class stages a revolt and refuses to go down in history, bear- ing the ignominious title of green Freshies . They were by no means green and easily held their own with other classes. Page Fifteen HELEN CRECELIUS Knox, Ind. I, 2; Sunshine 3; Mixed Chorus 3; Girl Reserve 4; Growing Pains 4.

Early in our career we became noted for a charac- teristic which, as years progressed, we continued to manifest. That characteristic, excellent scholarship, is one of the things on which our claim to distinction is based. The class has led the honor rolls, numerically speaking, for practically the four years of its career. It has a substantial number of people on the Senior Honor Roll. Very closely allied to scholarship are the geometry, algebra, Latin and music contests. Mem- Page Sixteen MARY MARGARET FLEETWOOD Basketball I, 2, 3; Tumbling I; G. A.

Interscholastic athletics is one subject on which members of the class of 1936 are inclined to be non- committal, since we have no graduating Senior on the varsity basketball team. However boys of the class seemed more favorable to -football, baseball, and track with better results.

IN MEMORIAM RUTH ROGERS March 20, 1921 September 22, 1935 ACTIVITIES EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Good citizenship is a positive quality and depends not on a pas- sive state of goodness but on activity. A good citizen has a con- tribution to make, a duty to perform, and is always helpful in what- ever group he finds himself. One of the chief characteristics of youth is activity. The school desires to organize the activities of boys and g iris to the extent that the bad features be suppressed and the good features be encour- aged, thus giving valuable training in citizenship. An individual lives in physical, social, ethical, moral, civic, emo- tional, and spiritual relationships as well as mental, and without suita- ble training in all of these he is deficient; hence modern education demands an all round development of spirit, mind, and body. The extra-curricular program of Shields High School is indeed comprehensive. The pupil may choose from the various activities the one that appeals to his nature, that arouses his interest, that gives him a choice of companionship that meets his demands for emotional training and that stimulates him to do his best. Realizing that music is a great common language that has ap- pealed to all people from the earliest times to the present, Shields High School endeavors through the band, orchestra, choruses, and individual instruction in piano and violin to help her students find themselves emotionally. Those students who are interested in giving service not only to the school but also to the community, will find that the Patrol, Art, Hi-Y and Girl Reserves offer mediums. For those who want to get additional enjoyment and knowledge from a subject beyond that which the class room offers the Latin, Science, Dramatic, Parliamentary, Home Economics and Future Farmer organizations will meet their demands. The Owl and The Patriot provide an interest for those who enjoy some publication. A well rendered athletic program, is provided for both girls and boys.

Second Row— Tormoehlen, Patrick, Richart, Laupus, Stahl, Robbins, Parke First Row— Hess, Lauster, Voss, Deputy, M. L. Bea+ty, Jones, Hercamp. Experiments in student participation in school government are known to be as old as ancient Greece where the youth were encouraged to prepare them- selves through the acceptance of responsibilities, for citizenship. From then until now there has been a tendency toward greater student participation as an aid to the development of moral character and as a preparation for more intelligent and fair minded citizenship. Student participation in Shields High School is provided through voluntary activities. The Leaders ' Club is at the center of the activity program. It is composed of the presidents and immediate past presidents of Home Rooms. The Club has a constitution which gives it several specie responsibilities. It does most of its work through committees. The club may recommend and suggest. It is constantly alert to school needs and works out ways and means of raising the school morale and of im- proving the school in general. Valuable experience In parliamentary procedure, in working on committees, in executive work which calls for initiativeness and resourcefulness, is secured from membership in the club. The club has full charge of making all honor awards and has worked out an elaborate system for our school. It also has been very active in helping to better school attendance and punctuality. It promotes various worthwhile projects and assists in assemb- ling playground, intra-mural, and other forms of activities.

Program Chairman Mr. Asbell Sponsor The Shields High School Hi-Y Club, with sixteen charter members, was or- ganized in 1925 by Mr. Duke, the field secretary of Indiana Y. M. C. A. Mr. Mitchell was sponsor of the club for many years and under his guidance the club grew rapidly In size and importance. In 1934 Mr. Asbell succeded Mr. Mitchell as sponsor. In 1935 the membership reached its highest peak, with eighty-six boys en- rolled; however, in 1936, it was found necessary to limit the membership to forty for the sake of convenience and efficiency. During the sectional tournament the Hi-Y provided a lounge for the visiting teams and also edited programs for the tournament. Hi-Y courtesy signs were placed in the gymnasium as an expression of the attitude of the club toward clean sports. During the year the club had several interesting speakers whose talks have accomplished much in inspirinq the members to higher ideals. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Its foremost object is embodied in its slogan — Clean Speech — Clean Living — Clean Sports — Clean Scholarship. The club has endeavored to spread these principles through- out the community.

To learn beyond the text book is the slogan of this year ' s Science Club. Many interesting discussions, experiment ' s, and field trips have been enjoyed by the 1935-36 Club, composed of an all-boy membership In which each student is Interested In some phase of science. The Science Club gives each a chance to go the limit in his thinking. The Club brought to the High School this year as its contribution to the convocation program Liquid Air with Mr. Williams in charge. It is hoped that other programs of a scientific nature may be presented from time to time by this organization. CLUB OFFICERS Dale Fink President Owen Frost Vice-President Bevins Clark Secretary Wilfred Nieman Treasurer Mr. Noe Sponsor Since we are living In a scientific age and things are constantly changing, we should investigate the possibilities of this ever changing world and see how the changes will affect our lives. The Science Club offers such an opportunity to pupils who can see beyond the gathering of mere facts. Page Thirty-eight LATIN Top Row — Hunnefeld, Schwab, VonDiellngen, Henry, Heideman, Tiemeier.

Business was conducted according to parliamentary procedure and follow- ing that a program was given. In order to receive credit each member of the club was required to serve on a committee and to take part in a program each semester. The purpose of the club was to show the relation of Latin to practical life, its relation to other subjects in the curriculum, and to contribute to the pleasura- ble side of language study . Many of the programs were linked with special days. In addition there were talks on Roman private life, Latin songs and Latin poetry. Classical pictures were shown at one meeting and another used as its theme the blmillenial celebration of the poet, Horace, who has been called the poet of mankind. The club raised its money largely by selling cherrios and candy at a ball game. One of the club members, Evelyn Slung, who was program chairman the first semester and vice-president the second semester won second place in the local and county Latin contest which is held annually.

The History Club, one of the most active clubs in Shields High School, was organized four years ago with Mr. Glenn Keach as its sponsor and Robert Sage as its first president. The club was organized for those who were interested in history and social work. The number of members shows that it has proved interesting to them. This year, when the club met for the first time, there were so many students who wished to |oin that it was necessary to limit the number to thirty-five. In the latter part of November a party was given in the High School gymnasium to initiate all new members. New officers were elected at the first meeting of the second semester. The History Club sponsored the candy sales at the Seymour-Columbus game and also at the Alumni Dance which followed this game. During the last semester, the club worked on A History of Jackson County. Committees were appointed for this work which contains reports on the Reno Brothers, the parks, and other historic scenes and people of our county. Various interesting program, including some pictures and talks by members of the faculty, were presented at the club meetings.

CLUB OFFICERS Elsie Kriete President Olga Spieker Vice-President Betty Richart Secretary Kathryn Stan-field Treasurer Miss Shaffer Sponsor The Home Economics Club of Shields High School, under the sponsorship of Miss Pearl Shaffer, was organized again this year with thirty members. Any girl in high school interested in home economics is eligible for membership; however, the number wishing to join was so great again this year that freshmen had to be excluded. The purpose of the Club is to stimulate interest in home economics among girls who are not enrolled in home economics classes and to give those who are enrolled in such classes further opportunity to study it. This is the second year the club has been affiliated with the State and National Home Economics association. At the fall meeting of the State Home Economics Association at Indianapolis, we were represented by two delegates: Elsie Kriete and Betty Richart. The club this year has helped to make the lunch room a success. Many of the members have earned their points in the club by serving lunch at noon, selling candy, and making and selling doughnuts. Among many interesting programs that have been given this year, were discussions concerning the place of home economics in the schools, home economics in other countries, what other clubs in Indiana are doing, style trends for spring, the relation of clothing to personality, and famous women in history.

The Dramatics Club was reorganized this year under the sponsorship of Mr. Warbritton. The members of the club were those who participated in the Junior Class Plays of 1935 and 1936. It was decided by the club to hold try-outs for other students who were interested. The officers of the club, together with Mr. War- britton, selected several new members. The main objective of the club this year has been the study of contemporary playwriters and their works. Special emphasis has been given plays which have played in New York within the last year or twa and also plays that have visited our neighboring cities. The club made a study of Shakespeare and the rebirth of his plays for dramatic productions and motion pictures. The Dramatic Club produced one play this year which was entitled, His First Love. It was given at convocation and later at Columbus High School in exchange for a program which Columbus gave here. On the night of February 6, 1936, the. club, together with the G.A.A., pre- sented Reno, the Magician. The show was a success. The Dramatics Club used its share of the proceeds to finance the Debate Team which made several trips out of town. CLUB OFFICERS Elizabeth Curtis President Emily Jayne Myer.

The organization of the Parliamentary Club this year was the result of a long felt need for a club in parliamentary practice. When the call was made for those who were interested in the organization of such a club, more than forty students responded. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws. Emphasis has been placed upon the fact that all clubs and or- ganizations should have a constitution and should conduct their meets according to a set of rules uniform throughout the country. The club studies the classification of motions as well as the methods of correct procedure in making reports and electing officers. Opportunity is given for actual practice to illustrate the various types of motions and the conditions under which each is to be used. CLUB OFFICERS In order to give organization, the vario iveral people practice in presiding as the head of an officers serve as chairman while discussions are held. Junior Wiethoff President Richard Tracey ...Vice-President Marion Tiemeier Secretary Mr. Martin Sponsor From the lowest type of organization to the Senate of the United States and the House of Lords in England, correct parliamentary procedure should be attempted. Since this branch of knowledge is so universal, the members of the club appreciate the opportunity given them for furthering their education in this line.

The first section of the Art Club is composed of Freshmen and Sophomores and the second section of Juniors and Seniors. The two weeks preceding Christmas were busy ones for the members of the club. In each grade school it sponsored a movie, admission to which was secured by presenting a broken toy. Through solicitation and donations, twelve hundred toys were collected. These were repaired, painted, and distributed to the under- privileged children of Seymour. A Christmas party was given at the home of the sponsor for those members who had given five hours of work and had made one dollar for the club. The highest number of hours of service given by any member was forty-seven. Last fall the club sponsored an exhibit of etchings by Frederick Polley at the public library annex. Another exhibit will be held this spring. Endeavoring to secure enough money to pay the expenses for an all-day art tour to Indianapolis, the club has sponsored two shows, Here ' s to Romance and Barbary Coast.

This is the first year that Journalism has been taught in Shields High School. The class as a whole has two objectives: first, publishing the school paper, Shields Owl ; second, studying Journalism for High Schools by Otto and Marye. The members of the class write news stories each day to give them ex- perience in the work of reporters. They study headlines, feature stories, sports stories, and page make-up. CLUB OFFICERS Mary Frances Hercamp Editor, First Semester Emily Jayne Myer Production Mgr., First Semeste Elizabeth Froh Editor, Second Semeste ins Clark. Production Manager Second Semester Mr. Warbritton Sponsor The Owl is published bi-monthly. It, as a general rule, comes out on Friday. The news is first collected and given to the editor, who then types the stories into the dummies, which are made up by the make-up man. After the stories have been typed into the dummies, the different pages are given to Mr. Ogan ' s commercial class. The commercial class cuts the stencils for the paper, puts headlines and advertisements on the different pages by I he use of mimeoscope. and then the paper is ready to be mimeographed. This also is done by members of the commercial class. Until this year, the price of the paper has always been five cents, but the journalism class has been able to reduce it to three cents. ge Forty-si) GLEE CLUB Top Row — Bridgewater, Eisner, Gregory, Shultz, Tormoehlen, Hardesty, Chastein.

The Girls Glee Club of 1936 began its career last year as a Freshman unit with a membership of seventy-eight voices. The girls were interested in making an organization of outstanding reputation. They began with a very good tone quality which they have tried to develop gradually. This year as a Sophomore unit, the membership consists of fifty individuals who are interested in making one chorus. The tone quality is developing and the personnel is interweaving to such an extent that the group is working on heavier classical numbers as O, Divine Redeemer by Gunow. The club has appeared on different convocation programs, but the climax was reached when it sang two numbers on the baccalaureate program. Next year, under the direction of the supervisor, the club hopes to organize again into a still stronger unit, introducing voice class instruction. The small fee charged will be used for the purchase of music. New members will be accepted on an elective, selective plan and the goal will be to acquire robes and to be- come good enough musicians to enter the Hoosier Music Festival at Blooming- ton in the spring.

The Patrol wishes to thank the members of the Shields Junior-Senior High School for their fine cooperation in making this record possible. The Safety Council is an outgrowth of the School Patrol. The members, sensing their responsibilities to extend beyond the safe guarding of lives at the street intersections, organized this Council to extend Safety Education through- out the school life of the pupils. This council meets every Thursday and has accepted the responsibilities of promoting Safety Education through slogans, papers, posters and pictures. The influences of this organization have been felt in every Home Room safety pro- gram and it is hoped that the Council will continue to be a part of the Safety Educational Program. The following boys were elected officers: Francis Swengel, president; Francis Briner, vice-president; Billy Hubbard, secretary.

Very few schools in southern Indiana carry four major sports in their athletic program, but the officials of our school wish to furnish the students every chance of entering in the field of sports. For the girls, tumbling, basketball, tennis, and physical education classes have been arranged, and for the boys who do not participate in any of the four major sports, there is a playground with adequate facilities and a school basketball league for winter recreation, togeth- er with Softball in the spring. Seymour has always been well represented in sports throughout the state. Our football squad engages in friendly rivalry with neigh- boring cities. Our basketball team always gives the opposition a good battle. The baseball nine usually comes out of the encounter the victor. Our school is well represented by its track team and although not a very full schedule is arranged, the team usually emerges with enough honors to enjoy a successful season. Every student in Shields High should enjoy as many of these sports as he possibly can. There is some phase of the athletic pro- gram which he can enter and help himself and the school by striving toward success of our athletic teams. Coach Surface deserves much commendation for the fine spirit he has developed in all his teams. Assistant Coaches Keach and Judd are to be congratulated upon their cooperation with Coach Surface. The prospects are bright for a successful year in athletics during 1936-37. No members of the basketball team are to be lost by graduation and only four members of the 1936 football squad have been lost.

The 1935 edition of the Seymour Owls football squad turned in a creditable performance during the 1935-36 season. Out of five starts they won two and lost three. The fi rst game of the season was at Rushville, with both teams fighting on even terms until the last few seconds of play when Henderson, Seymour back, intercepted a Rushville pass and galloped across the Rushville goal for a touch- down. The extra point was kicked and Seymour had a 14-7 victory to their credit. In the second game, which was played here, Southpo rt won by a score of 21-6, only after a hard fought battle. The third game found ShelbyvMIe on the home field and by the margin of one point won the game 7-6. Columbus came here for the fourth game of the season and emerged from the contest the victor by the score of 13-7. The final game found Seymour at Plainfield coping with a forward pass attack that accounted for three touchdowns and as many extra points, but the Owls kept pace and also scored three touchdowns with the three extra points made good and when the final whistle blew, Seymour and Plainfield were deadlocked in a 21-21 tie. Later in the season Plainfield forfeited to Seymour on account of the ineligibility of their right end. Carpenter, Lewis, Carter and Emily are the only members to be lost by graduation.

This year the Owl combination won two out of twenty contests, yet they were never far behind in the scoring and in most of the games led at one time or another until the last few minutes, many of the games being dropped by two or three points after a hard fight had been put up for the upper hand. Probably the most exciting game of the season was the defeat of Columbus on the home floor. Playing perfect ba sketball, the Owls shook off the bad luck that had followed them all season and scored a 17-16 victory over Columbus. Stewart Dowd Manager Mr. Surface Coach Coach Surface is to be congratulated upon the fighting team that he pro- duced out of the reserves of last year ' s sguad. With none of the team gradua- ting, the prospeots look brighter for a successful season and a state champion- ship.

The purpose of the second team is to furnish a continuous flow of exper- ienced and seasoned players to the varsity. This year the Owlets furnished some of their best players to the varsity, leaving Coach Keach to develop a winning five out of the material left. Upon these boys rested the hopes of a successful season. These lads, with numerous substitutes, acquitted themselves admirably by overcoming a majority of the opposition and holding several strong quintets to a small victory margin. In a second team tourney held at Seymour the Owlets gave a good ac- count of themselves but were unable to cope with the suddenly inspired Columbus five and they lost, but the Owlets avenged themselves later in the season by defeating the Columbus team. The outstanding feature of the Owlets and the thing about them that Im- pressed the fans was their ability to make a rally after trailing by a few points through most of the games, and then beat their opponents by several points. Coach Keach deserves much credit for the developing of such a fighting team. Since none of the squad will be lost by graduation, the Owlets look for- ward to another successful season.

Ten color teams with their captains were elected. The captains were Jane Patrick, Dorothy Siefker, Alpha Kysar, Dorothy Sage, Mary Jane Grelle, Alberta Sweazey, Carolyn Kasper, Evelyn Biggs, Lois Gill, and Helen Brandt. After many delays because of cold weather, ice, and snow, a round robin tournament was played. Later in the season a first team numbering thirteen girls was chosen. They had lots of fun playing and gained in experience even though their scores were not always high. They played Cortland twice and the Alumni girls. A new style of playing was used this year. They played two court basketball with a throw in at the center instead of a center toss. Lois Gill Captain Miss Dryden Coach Our class basketball elimination tournament was exciting. The Sophomores won from the Freshmen and the Juniors from the Seniors. The finals were played between the Sophomores and Juniors with the Juniors winning 16 to II. The class captains were: Freshmen, Doris McKinney; Sophomores, Mary Annette Eisner; Junior, Lois Gill; and the Seniors, Alpha Kysar.

Twenty girls entered the doubles tournament and the four girls who will play off the finals are Marjorie Miller, Mildred Von Strohe, Catherine Peter, and Elizabeth Curtis. In the early winter, Freshman tumbling was offered and to this call forty- five girls responded. From this group the new members of the tumbling team were selected.

With the opening of the 1936 tract season, Seymour was fortunate in having a variety of material out for berths on the squad. The first meet of the season was held here with Southport furnishing the opposition. Although the Seymour boys put up a good fight against the more experienced Southport squad, they went down in defeat 79 points to 38. Salem and Scottsburg came here for a triangular meet and Salem carved off top honors with 58 ' 2 points while Seymour and Scottsburg were collecting 34 2 and 23 points respectively. Seymour emerged the victor in a dual meet with Columbus on Emerson Field, thereby atoning partly for losses suffered at Columbus ' hands in other sports. Greenwood was administered a crushing defeat 93 to 21. The Seymour boys took first in all events except one and placed in every event. Seymour next traveled to Bedford for a triangular meet with Bedford and Martinsville, but Martinsville failed to appear and Bedford defeated Seymour. The Sectional tract meet found Salem again carrying off all honors with Bedford a close second and Seymour third.
