TO THE MAN WHO LAIO OUT SEYMOUR, WHO BROUGHT THE M TO SEYMOUR, AND FOR THE YOUTH OF SEYMOUR IN- TRODUGEO THE SCHOOLS ANO FOSTER- ED MANY FINE IMPROVEMENTS AND ADDITIONS TO THEM ... TO THE SPIRIT OF MEEDY WHITE SHIELDS, KEYSTONE AND CORNERSTONE OF SHIELDS HIGH SCHOOL. rv PATRIOT WE DEDICATE THE . . OF 937 One of the principal industries of Seymour, a to of 8,500 people, is the education of her youth. Shields High School ' s strong faculty of thirty-two men and women, who have been granted degrees from some of the leading colleges and universities in the United States, are well qualified to instruct in their chosen fields. Few towns the size of Seymour can boast of a better or larger school library. It is well equipped with refer- ence and supplementary reading books and in addition, many current magazines and three newspapers are re- ceived. It contains 4,312 volumes, 224 of which were added this year. A trained librarian is available at all times to assist the students. The great consulting room of a wi:e man is a library. The strength of a nation, especial- ly a republican nation is in the intelli- gent and well-ordered homes of its people. He that gives of a portion of his time and talent to the investigation of mathematical truth will come to all other questions with a decided advan- tage. History is a great painter, with the world for a canvas, and life for a Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattain- able; however, they who aim at it and persevere will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable. Honorable industry always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty, and progress is altogether im- possible without it. Trade increases the wealth and glory of a country, but its real strength and stamina are to be looked for among the cultivators of the land. Science is teaching man to know and reverence truth, and to believe that only so far as he knows and loves it can he live worthily on earth, and vindicate the dignity of his spirit. Artists may produce excellent de- signs but they will avail little unless the taste of the public is sufficiently cultivated to appreciate them. Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality, and infinite in quantity. There are eight hundred and ninety-four pupils en rolled in the student body, hence there is present a variety of interests which are ably cared for through the school ' s three fold curriculum: namely, the Academic, General, and Vocational. The Academic course which prepares the student to pursue college and university courses offers not only the usual subjects of mathematics, English, and history but also advanced mathematics, literature, sciences, and foreign languages. For the student who desires an opportunity to ex- plore in practically all fields of high school learning except that of foreign language, the General Course has been provided. Interest in the Vocational Course increases yearly because it meets the needs of those who wish practical training. The Home Economics Departmant offers courses in Foods I - II, Clothing I - II, Home Nursing and Child Development, Related Arts, Home Management, and Home and Social Relations. In addition to Typing, Bookkeeping, and Stenography, the Commercial Department offers Office Training, Busi- ness Arithmetic, Business English, Commercial Geography, and Commercial Law. The Vocational Agriculture Curriculum covers a vari- ety of subjects: Biology, Poultry, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Field Crops, Farm Management, Dairying, Soils, Farm Mechanics, and Physics. Much of the new equipment on the playground and school speaks for the varied instruction in wood-working and shop, as given by the Industrial Arts Department. When man seized the loadstone of science, the loadstar of superstition vanished in the clouds. He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything. The wise form right judgment of the present from what is past. Music is the harmonious voice of creation, and echo of the invisible world, one note of the divine concord which the entire universe is destined one day to sound. If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.

Ijfi FACULTY The Father of the American Public Schools URINC the school year of 1936-37 the one-hundredth anniversary of Horace Mann ' s coming to the secretaryship of the Massachusetts ' newly-created Board of Educa- tion is being celebrated throughout the country. Wher Horace Mann received this appointment, a financial panic dominated the nation and distressed conditions prevailed for many. The well-to-do were sending their children to private schools, hence they felt little concern for the public schools which they thought only good enough for paupers. In such a time people needed to place a higher value upon them- selves and to attach more importance to the homely virtues and to thinking as a way of life. In 1837 Horace Mann came forward to express the needs of the people in a language so clear that his writings are still an important part of the national culture. Horace Mann, who has been called the Father of the American Public School, gave his life to the improvement of education through universal, tax-supported, free, public schools in charge of carefully chosen and especially prepared teachers. A,; jurist, orator, and legislator, Mann brought the layman ' s experience in public affairs to the cause of education. He knew the people could be relied upon if they understood what was at stake. On September 15, 1852, Mann was nominated for Governor of Massachusetts by the Free-Soil party. On the same day he was chosen president of the newly-established Antioch College at Yellow Springs, Ohio. He accepted the latter because it opened a new field of pioneering in the great West. Mann insisted upon complete educational equality for the sexes and for all races, he emphasized the importance of student health, introduced the elective system of study, and steadily opposed any kind of competition as a spur to study. At all times he strove to introduce into the school life thoroughness, order, purity, and self-reliance. One of Mann ' s students in speaking about him said, He endeavored to impress each student with the idea that the state of society in which he lived should and would be in- fluenced by his own personality and that to shirk this responsibilty was to commit a crime. On Mann ' s tomb were inscribed the last words of his last address to the graduating class of 1859. 1 BESEECH YOU TO TREASURE UP IN YOUR HEARtS THESE MY PARTING WORDS: BE ASHAMED TO DIE UNTIL YOU HAVE WON SOME VICTORY FOR HUMANITY. The influence of Horace Mann is today keenly felt in the educational realm. Because America has adopted his educational theme and has faith in the common man and a determination to give him equality of opportunity, she has developed faster and farther than any other in all history. America realizes education awakens aspiration, establishes ideals, trains skills, and forms character. The growth of the educational enterprise is strikingly shown in the expansion of the high school which in round numbers enrolled 200,000 in 1890, 500,000 in 1900, a million in 1910, two million in 1920, five million in 1930, and seven million in 1936. Today one of four of the total population is engaged as teacher or student.

The class was composed of students from Junior High School, the parochial schools, and the schools in the outlying districts and neighboring towns. Throughout the four years, the class has been well represented on both the honor roll and the high honor roll. Needless to say, a large number of the class have also attained the honor of being on the Senior Honor Roll. Members of this class have participated in the numerous contests held in the various years, and several of them have carried the Purple and White to victory not only in our school, but also in the county and district. The Senior Class was well represented by the boys on the football, basketball, baseball, and track teams. The boys have brought honor to the school, as well as to themselves, during their adventurous high school career. The Senior girls have also occupied the spotlights as they have been very active in the athletics of- fered them by the school. The Senior girls of ' 37 have won the class basketball tournament for four con- secutive years. The girls participated in tumbling and this class has given several public programs which were well received wherever they chanced to be. The seventeen senior girls who are members of G. A. A. won this honor by participating in their chosen sports from a wide field: namely, basketball, Softball, tennis, tumbling, and volley ball. The Owl , a weekly paper, which is published by the Journalism Class, has several Seniors on the staff and The Patriot , the year-book, is entirely a Senior publication. The Seniors have played an important part in the activities of the school and have held responsible positions in each of the activities. As Juniors the class presented three one-act plays: Neighbors , The Importance of Being Ernest , and She Stoops to Conquer . As Seniors the class presented Through the Keyhole . Near the close of the Junior year the class entertained the Class of 1936 with a dance. The enter- tainment consisted of a student program and selections by a well-known impersonator. The gymnasium was transformed into a colonial garden surrounded by a white picket fence. Many flowers and old-fashioned lanterns added beauty and quaintness to the scene. Overhead floated beautifully colored balloons. One of the most interesting activities in which the Senior Class participates is the annual amateur night at which the popularity queen is crowned. Jane Patrick, who was the nominee as a Freshman again represents the Seniors. Every effort is being made by the class to crown her Popularity Queen on April 29. Other Important events to which the Seniors are looking forward with much anticipation are the Junior-Senior Reception, the Senior Breakfast, Senior Class Day, Baccalaureate Services, and most import- ant of all — the Commencement Exercises. At Commencement, five members of the class will celebrate the twenty-fifth commencement anni- versary of their parents. The members of the Class of 1912 and their respective chidren of the Class of 1937 are Jewel Cox, Doris Betz; Carl Fox, Marvin Fox; Edna Schwab, Margarette Carvey; Alice Stan- field, John Walters; Leona Thompson, Marguerite Hess. The Senior Class of 1937 has en|Oyed very much its high school career. As this class leaves the doors of Shields High School, it shuts the doors to many pleasant activities; however, the pleasant memories and the friendships will live on forever, so with that thought in mind, the Class of 1937 says Adieu .

Doris McKinney Secretary Mr. Mitchell Sponsor THE major trend in the modern public high school system is undoubtedly the increase of student participation in school government. It was for the purpose of furnishing a closer co- ordination between the students of Shields High School and the faculty that the Leaders ' Club was organized in the fall of 1931. In 1933 was written a constitution which directs, in a general way, the activities of the club. The organization is composed of the presidents of the several Home Rooms, and all the officers of the Senior Class. All business is executed by club committees, sometimes working in conjunc- tion with faculty committees. Meetings are con- ducted once weekly. The purpose of the Leaders ' Club is to supervise school activities, form a common base for student-faculty discussion, and furnish a means of hearing student suggestions for the improvement of the school. The Leaders ' Club of this year sponsored two major projects: the Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Drive, and the purchase of a new trophy case. OFFICERS Betty Ann Hefternan President John Buhner Vice-Pres. George Henderson Secretary Catherine Hardesty Treasurer and Program Chair Mr. Judd Sponsor ONE of the new activities organized this year is the Nature Study Club. The purpose of this club is to give those students who have developed an interest in biology an opportunity to continue their study in the field of Natural Science, by studying the local industries in con- nection with their use of biological materials. Movies, field trips, laboratory work, and special reports were other means employed to further their interest. With an increased amount of leisure time for the average citizen, it is hoped that more people will find it profitable to spend many hours in the open fields and forests, where nature is al- ways at its best, where the wild flowers and birds and all the other wonderful organisms make for a healthful, wholesome and entertaining stage for the development of the youth of our nation. With this in mind, we give two periods each month to the study of nature in hope of develop- ing interest and appreciation of the wonders of nature. OFFICERS First Semester Herbert Zickler President Donad Sullivan Vice-Pres. Esther Eggers Sec ' y-Treas. Alma Mann Program Chairman Miss Trueblood Sponsor Second Semester Herbert Zickler President Earl Jaynes Vice-Pres. George Huffman Sec ' y-Treas. Alma Mann Program Chairman Miss Trueblood Sponsor II ' HE History Club chose the following objec- ■ tives for the year ' s work: the study of prob- lems and conditions of foreign countries, the study of problems of our own country, and the working out of a project on some aspect of his- tory. The club believes that we can understand the reaction of people in foreign countries only to the degree that we understand the existing prob- lems and conditions. We Americans are constantly striving to pro- duce better citizens, hence the study of our problems. Membership is open to all those having high scholastic standing, but it is limited to thirty members. To retain their membership, members can not miss more than three meetings. The credit which they receive depends upon their attendance and participation in the club.

Q. R. Club (The Senate and the - ' - Roman People) is now an accepted institu- tion. This year membership was limited to thirty including those who are at present enrolled in the Latin classes and some who still maintain an interest in the Classics. The programs are designed to give a cultural background embracing a fair knowledge of Rome, her life and customs, her art and literature, her great men and their ideals, and her influence on civilization. A part of the period is of an en- tertaining nature including poems, songs, plays, and contests. It offers an opportunity for leader- ship and expression of thought not afforded in the classroom. The club chose for its motto Non scholae sed vitae discimus (We learn not for school but for life) . The colors are royal purple and gold. A constitution was drafted at the beginning of the year. The regular meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month. HISTORY CLASSICAL HISTORY CLUB TOP ROW — Goodwin, Cuinnup, Zickler, Laupus, Deputy.

Kathleen Nicholson Program Chairman Mrs. Walters Sponsor BECAUSE of the desire and need of the stu- dents to extend further the desire and ap- preciation of reading the most outstanding and benefiting, as well as entertaining books the Reading Club was organized in 1937. It was organized and sponsored by Mrs. Alice Walters, the school librarian. During the first semester there were fourteen members in the club, but it numbered more than that the second semester. The club hopes to promote the reading of good books by every individual and for this reason a complete book list was made by the club. The programs given by the club members were based upon good books, magazine articles, clip- pings, and outstanding authors, some of which are foreign and others American. OFFICERS First and Second Semeste ' s Albert Harris President Floyd Osterman Vice-Pres. Don Burkley Sec ' y-Treas. Mr. Noe Sponsor nPHE Science Club has attempted to promote a ■ broader interest in science throughout the school. The science body has had two programs every month pertaining to one of the three science subjects offered in the school. In the course of the year the club has studied the anatomy of the cat, witnessed phenomenal chemical experiments, and has endeavored to learn something of the local industries in the Seymour community. The interests of its mem- bers have been divided into several different fields; namely, that of television, general elec- tricity, chemistry, and medicine. Three members plan to continue the study of medicine. Mr. Noe has served as supervisor in the guidance and in- struction of the club. This club made up of twelve interested and ambitious students, repre- senting the Biology, Physics, and Chemistry De- partments has been a credit to its school. OFFICERS First Semester Wilbur Williams President James Rust Vice-Pres. Billy Bell Sec ' y-Treas. Mr. Wood Sponsor Second Semester Raymond Hinton President Donald Myers Vice-Pres. Billy Bell Sec ' y-Treas. Mr. Wood Sponsor THE Crafts Club of Shield High School was organized by Mr. Wood, head of the Indus- trial Arts Department. This club devotes its time to the training and development of the talent which each of the boys shows in his particular field. The club also gives extra time to those who need it, so the members can work, each to his satisfaction. It was the aim of the Crafts Club to discuss new designs and materials being used at the present time. It also aimed to give a chance to develop the talent and aptness of as many boys as possible who were willing to spend their time in that manner. This year the club has made several tables for the school and it has become quite well-known for its ability in this field. The boys have also made chars, model air- planes, chests, and croquet sets.

In addition to its regular meetings, the club has worked on three particular projects. Last fall Mr. Murray arranged for a trip to Brown County State Park where an enjoyable day was spent. On this trip the club visited the Art Galleries and studied the paintings of some of our great artists. Two weeks preceding Christmas were busy ones for the members of the club. Several hun- dred toys were collected through solicitation and donation, and distributed to the under privileged children of Seymour. An all-day tour to Indianapolis to visit the John Herron Art Institute will be held this spring. OFFICERS First Semester Bevins Clark President Aberta Droege Vice-Pres. Wilfred Nieman Sec ' y-Treas.

The year ' s work also included the reviews of several plays, two of which were the well known jane Eyre and Idiots Delight. The club contributed to the success of the Amateur Program by giving their time and talent. It has also contributed to the convocation pro- grams.

Marvin Fox Secretary George Vehslage Treasurer Robert Vehslage Reporter Mr. Henderson Sponsor TPHE local chapter of Future Farmers of ■ America was granted its charter on October 19, 1929. Harlan Kriete and Custave Thias, president and vice-president, were signally honored when the state organization promoted them to State Farmers. These two officers together with Louis Schnei- der, Robert Davis and Robert Vehslage repre- sented the Seymour Chapter at the State F. F. A. convention at Purdue in January. At that time Custave Thias placed second in the finals of the public speaking contest . He was also elected vice-president of the state organization. The F. F. A. club also organized a basketball team and won the championship of the intra- mural league, going through the season and tour- ney undefeated. Members of the team were Schneider, Davis, Olmstead, Kriete, Kasting, Fox, Hill, and Nicholson. One of the most enjoyable social events was our joint meeting with the Home Economics Club. OFFICERS First Semester Elsie Kriete President Mary Margaret Davis Vice-Pres. Ruth Lauster Secretary Ruth Gregory Treasurer Miss Shaffer Sponsor Second Semester Faye Spray President Kathryn Stark Vice-Pres. Ruth Lauster Secretary Lavona Snodgrass Treasurer Miss Shaffer Sponsor THE Home Economics Club was organized for the first semester on October 30, in Room 104 under the direction of Miss Shaffer, instruc- tor in Home Economics. At this meeting the members elected officers for the first term, and the president appointed several committees. The purpose of the Home Economics Club was to sponsor all banquets and dinners of the Home Economics Department, and to study problems of increasing interest in Home Economics. The club was largely responsible for the suc- cess of the school cafeteria. Although this un- dertaking required much extra work on the part of Miss Shaffer and the girls, they will never forget the interesting and often exciting times they had preparing those meals. During the year there have been many delight- ful meetings. A point system was established which determined credit given. f.Wi A r -f ei 9 -a 1 t -H W HP r ' -T - fla jt -M r iLiai FUTURE ECONOMIC!

The club does not have a regular schedule of meetings, but conducts its business at called meetings after school. A schedule of six hikes has been proposed, but to date only one has been taken. A bicycle hike to Cortland was postponed several times because of unfavorable weather. The first hike in which the club showed its spirit by braving bitter cold weather was made to Pauley ' s Camp. Each member took food, and a picnic supper around an open fire was enjoyed before the return trip. OFFICERS First and Second Semesters Walter Voss President Dan Cuinnup Vice-Pres.

This is the first time in several years that a Boosters ' Club has been organized. The club has a membership of approximately one hundred members which in- cludes both Senior and Junior High students. The main objective has been the boosting of the basketball and football teams both at home and at out-of-town games. Buses were chartered at various times during the year to take the boosters to out-of-town games. Through the efforts of the Boosters, Shields High School had one of the best cheering sections in several years. The Boosters ' Club is most active during the basketball season, although it continues to boost the school and its activities through the school term. The Boosters receive no awards on Honor Day. They feel that their award came through that final yell which urged the team to victory. OFFICERS SENIOR CLUB Irma Tormoehlen President Mary Margaret Hackman Vi-e-Pres.

Geraldme Galati Secretary Treasurer Miss Trueblood Sponsor ' II HE Senoir Girl Reserves is composed of one ■ hundred and fifteen members from the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes. The chief objective of this organization is the cooperating with other groups in community pro- jects. The club was particularly active this year in assisting the Jackson County Tuberculosis As- sociation and also the Lions Club in its annual Welfare Drive. Many of the girls helped in the dressing of sixty-five dolls which were distri- buted at Christmas time to Seymour ' s under- privileged children. The club cared for the check room during the county tournament. At the beginning of the second semester a Junior Girl Reserves, composed of Freshmen, was organized with Miss Trueblood as Sponsor. One of the most enjoyable social events of the year for all Girl Reserves was the party held joint- ly with the Hi-Y in the gymnasium on April 24. For the second time the Girl Reserves gave a Tea for all Mothers present at the annual Mothers ' Day Program. OFFICERS First and Second Semesters Dale Fink President Bevins Clark Vice-Pres. James Deputy Sec ' y-Treas. Gerald Bu:h Prog. Chairman Mr. Asbell Sponsor CLEAN Speech, Clean Living, Clean Sports, and Clean Scholarship are the four princi- ples which constitute the backbone of the Hi-Y Club. Its members strive to spread these ideals throughout the school and community for the immediate purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The Shields High School Hi-Y Club was or- ganized by Field Secretary Duke in 1925. Mr. Mitchell was sponsor until 1934, when he was succeeded by Mr. Asbell. For the school year of 1936-37 the member- ship was limited to forty members. Meetings were held twice each month, in addition to spe- cial meetings which were called by the sponsor or the president. This year the Hi-Y organized basketball, Softball, and ping-pong teams. A lounge was provided for players in the sectional tournament and Hi-Y sportsmanship signs were posted in the gymnasium. The annual Fathers and Sons Banquet held April 8, and attended by seventy fathers and sons, was one of the most important projects of the year. RESERVES HI-Y CIRL RESERVES TOP ROW— Eisner, A.

It boasts a perfect record, not a single accident for which it might be responsi- ble has occurred to any student or citizen during the school year. The patrol always has, and still cooperates with the city and state police force. The Safety Council, composed of the patrol- men, holds regular bi-weekly meetings. All busi- ness matter is discussed and then a safety pro- gram is presented. OFFICERS Jane Patrick President Mary Annette Eisner Vice-Pres. Esther Eggers Secretary Carolyn Kasper Recording Secy.

SHIELDS High School, as an institution of learning, has for its primary motive the prep- aration of minds for the battle of life. With full cognizance of this purpose and the responsibility placed upon them, many students have endeavored to reap full benefit from the opportunities for intellectual advancement which have been placed in their way. As a result of this splendid attitude our school has seen fit to give recognition to those who have so earnestly striven. The requirements for the Semester High Honor Roll are twelve honor points on the semester re- port. The points are rated on the following basis: A, three points; B, two points; C, one point. No grade below C counts towards an Honor Roll. Each student is required to carry four full- time subjects and may carry five only by applica- tion to and permission from the faculty com- mittee.

Mr. Martin Sponsor STORY telling develops one ' s imagination, teaches worthwhile lessons, increases one ' s vocabulary strengthens one ' s power of concen- tration, awakens one ' s love for nature, history, and for many of the works of great authors. Last of all story telling affords an opportunity for amusement and entertainment in this age of in- creased leisure. What is more delightful than a good story well toldr ' The Story Telling Club was organized this year in Shields High School by Mr. Martin and those enthusiastic students who had as their motive the revival of the almost lost art of story telling. Story telling is traditionally American. Stories, jokes, retorts, and anecdotes have played a very vital part in the development of our country. It is of record that Abraham Lincoln in the darkest days of the Union cured many a crisis with some homely anecdote or some aptly barbed retort. Stories of Mark Twain, Washington Irving, Henry W. Longfellow, Abraham Lincoln, Irvin S. Cobb, Will Rogers, and other notable Americans were studied this year. Some attention was also given to the technique of story telling. The vari- ous types of stories were also studied along with the various types of audiences to which they should be told. Ample opportunity was given each member in the telling of the various types of stories. - Reporters Irma Tormoehlen Editor Donald Sullivan Assistant Editor Kenneth Knoke Business Manager Mary Margaret Hackman„Page Editor Richard Lauf Robert Corman Margaret Mendell __.

Dunker, Black, Clark, Koerner, P. Eggers, Robbins. FOR the first time in many years the Senior class dominated the football field with four- teen returning lettermen. The team, decked in new suits of silk pants and white jerseys with purple numbers on the back, presented a striking picture as they took to the sod in the early fall. The team had a successful season, winning four games, tying two, and losing two. The schedule, which included several night games, provided a new experience for most of the boys. The team closed the season by winning from the highly rated Southport crew, 6 - 0. The game was played under lights and in the mud. Dink Koerner was a fine center. His passes to the back fi eld were always true and his defense was good. Art Eggers was an immovable block of granite in the line. He was fine on both offense and defense. Charlie Hill was the smallest man on the squad but the fastest moving of them all. He could stop any play coming his way. Schnozze Frost, another guard, was capable of taking care of his territory and handling everything that came his way. Buck Coombs, guard, was a hard worker and never gave up. His real opportunity was in the last game against Southport when he proved his worth. Cus Dunker, the biggest of our tackles, was a terror to the opposition. He has the distinction of being placed in the All State Football Third Team as tackle. Congratulations, Cus! joe Black, captain of most of the games and right tackle, was almost the twin brother of Cus. We could count on Joe to be on or in the plays all the time. Preach Eggers, twin to Art , always puzzled other teams. They couldn ' t distinguish the twins, but Paul was always in on end plays and was not often fooled on them. Bud Beldon was a fine right end. He was always down under punts and could catch passes like an Ail-American. Bev Clark, halfba:k, was considered the best defensive man in the back field. Many of Seymour ' s victims are credited to him. Doc Kieser, fullback, was as tough a ball toter as the team possessed. He was the punter of the team and his splendid work here saved Seymour many times. Doc was also given mention on the All State Squad. Nick Demas, quarterback, playing his fourth year on the varsity, was the signal caller of the team. His brilliant calling in tight spots led the team to many victories. Nick cared for the passing and returning of punts and carried the ball. Ceo. Henderson, playing his second year of varsity ball, proved his worth by always producing in close places. Play- ing equally as weil in the line as at the halfback position, he was always a hard man to stop. Bob Davis, one of those who doesn ' t know the mean- ing of fear, was a rugged, hard hitting, driving football player. He played either tackle or end. OACH Surface, with fourteen returning let- •- termen and underclassmen, built one of the finest football teams in many years to repre- sent the Purple and White. Rushville was the first victim, the Owls win- ning by a score of 32 - 6. In the second game of the season New Albany defeated the Owls 20 - 6. Having won one game and lost another, the Owls were determined to show their metal in the Broad Ripple game and brought home a 19-0 score in their favor. The next games, played against Bloomfield and Columbus, were tied. The Columbus game provided many thrills as the Owls came from behind two times to tie the score, one of them being the return of a kickoff for a touchdown by Henderson. The second game with Columbus was played on the home field but the Owls were defeated 7-0 after Demas and Kieser were knocked un- conscious and had to leave the game. The last game with Southport provided the climax of the season as the Owls won from the highly rated team 6 - 0, thus the season was completed with Seymour on the winning side. FOOTBALL BASKETBALL Mr. Surface and Mr. Keaih Coaches HAIL to Mr. Keach and his Owlets! For the first time in many years the Owlets came very close to winning all of their scheduled games, losing only two of them. The Owlets or Mr. Keach ' s little Wonder Five , as they were often called, won the first six games before losing to the Bedford Scrubs in a thrilling overtime 32 - 29. Then they went ahead stronger than ever to win the next five games before losing to New Albany 35 - 26. Sparks, the center, collected almost two hun- dred points on his ability to pivot. Tinch, a forward, was nearly as fast as could be and also had ability to hit the hoop. Jones, one of the best guards and an expert on defense, was almost too fast for any one to keep up with, hie made up for his stature with speed and dribbling. Laupus, another one of the big boys, helped a great deal in recovering the ball in the oppo- nent ' s territory, Hubbard, another tall boy was fine in recover- ing the ball, and he too could hit the basket. Coach Keach ' s Wonder Five rolled up a total of 639 points to their opponents ' 400. Mr, Surface Coach THE Surfacemen enjoyed a very successful season this year, winning thirteen of the scheduled games. With the same team returning that won only two of twenty games last season, the Owls start- ed off by winning five successive games and then losing to Salem. At Christmas the Owls lost Joe Black and George Henderson. Black, rated as one of the best centers in Southern Indiana, was lost by graduation, while Henderson was out because of a broken bone in his foot. The flood caused the Madison game to be cancelled and the North Vernon and Scottsburg games to be postponed as water was in some gymnasiums and others were housing flood vic- tims. Bedford was the chief stumbling block as the Owls lost to the Stonecutters three times: first, on the home floor 20 - 19, second, 34-31, in a double overtime there, and third, in the regional at Mitchell 27 -25. In the Sectional Tournament held at Seymour, the Owls had little trouble and won easily from Clearspring 57 - 9. The Owls will lose seven men by graduation but a good team will be back next year.

You laugh at yourself, you laugh at the others, and you laugh in the friendliest way. What could be healthier? Un- derneath the merriment there are elements of real educational value. A girl that is a good tum- ler will emerge from a season of this exercise with added energy, added sense of control, with a stronger, better set up, and better moving bodies. Our tumbling girls find that in this sport there is developed a sense of responsibility, confidence, cooperation, and increased elasticity of the joints and balance, and lots of pleasure. The tumbling team of Shields High School numbered twelve girls who were selected from all four classes. They worked long and hard in perfecting their performance. Qualified members of the freshmen tumbling have a chance to fill vacancies that occur in the team. The thirty-five girls who made up the freshman class of tumblers learned safety me- thods and simple stunts. Lois Cill — Basketball, C. A. A. Member Miss Dryden Coach THE interest in girls ' athletics in Shields High School is growing. As time passes we find the field widening. This year ping-pong and soft- ball were added to our list. The girls are not forgetting their first interest, basketball. Over a hundred girls responded to the call to play basketball and were divided into ten color teams They played a round-robin tournament, the winning team being captained by Jane Patrick. The class basketball elimination tournament proved exciting. The Juniors won from the Fresh- man and the Seniors from the Sophomores. The finals were played between the Juniors and Seniors with the Seniors winning. These games were played on the night of the boys ' class games. The class captains were as follows: Freshman, Helen Crein; Sophomore, Margaret Heideman; Junior. Dorothy Sage; and the Seniors, Jane Patrick and Lois Cill. The Seniors have been particularly fortunate in winning the class tournament each of their four years. BASKETBALL WITH Mr. Henderson retiring after coaching baseball for sixteen years, the job was given to Mr. Judd. Coach Judd was a star player in high school and college. With most of last year ' s letter men returning, the prospects for a fine team were good but the team was minus a catcher. Earl Jaynes came out and took over the backstop position and develop- ed into a fine catcher. Donald Dunker took over the pitcher duties and held them in fine style. The first game with Crothersville ended with Seymour ' s winning 2 - 0, and later in the season Crothersville defeated the boys 4 - 3. The boys also whipped the old rival, Columbus, 6-2 and then beat Brownstown twice, 7-3 and 3 -2. The Owls lost to North Vernon by the score of ] - 3. The remaining games are with North Vernon and Columbus. ITH last year ' s returning letter men and some new ones. Coach Surface developed a fine track team to represent Seymour on the cinders. In the first meet which was held with Scotts- burg the Owls took every first event scheduled and humbled the boys from Scottsburg 89 - 10. In the next meet at Southport, Southport won with 99 points, Seymour with 43, Noblesville with 17, and Greenwood with 5. Bedford which was stronger in field events won the next meet 75 - 59. The County Meet was held here with only two other teams showing up. The speedsters won this meet with 118 points, Columbus with eO ' a, and Crothersville with BOVi. To Coach Surface we give our congratulations for producing one of the finest track teams in our part of the country. We also thank Jack Peters, former world renowned Yale Track star, who is helping Coach Surface daily. ICOR the second time in the history of Shields • ' - High School, Seymour has had a Golf team. The team has developed rapidly and holds an enviable record. With the same four boys returning from last year. Coach Keach had no trouble in making a new golf team. James Cuinnup, widely known in Indiana as the youngest golfer, holds many records. He has the lowest score yet made on the local golf links. He has won several tournaments and has distinguished his school and himself many times. Bud Voss, Don Sullivan, and Bill Laupus also are the best in the school and have won many matches. In the first game the stickswingers lost to Franklin 5 Vz to 6 ' 2 and in their second game with them lost 3 to 9. At Bedford the local boys took the Stone- cutters to camp as they beat them 9 2 to 4V2. TOP ROW — King, Perry, D. Dunker, Stemwedel, Mr. Judd (Coach). THIRD ROW — P.
