Shields High School - Patriot Yearbook (Seymour, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1941 volume:

'%r This is the story of life and learning at Shields High School - Seymour, Indiana, 1940-41 THE 1941 PATRIOT Tells a story of student life in the typical American high school, an insti- tution which is helping to develop its students mentally, physically, and socially to stand courageously in this complex life during this chaotic age. It is a pleasure to present this year- book to the student body, to the faculty, and to the friends of Shields High School. Christine Rinehart Dan Guinnup Editor-in-chief Business Manager OUR CREED I believe in Shields High School as an institution founded by the people of this community to produce good citizens by teaching the prin- ciples of Democracy, the basic principles of conduct, and the fundamental knowledge which will be essential for success in life. Shields SHLlcjIi School’s Contribution to CDemocracij There is no other factor or institution which will influence the lives of the young men and women of Shields High School more than the instruction and experience which they gain in this school. Realizing the truth of the statement, What you are to be , you are now becoming,” Shields High School has done much in preparing its students to live in a democracy. Teachers have helped the pupils to acquire good habits and to avoid bad ones. By proper stimuli, example, and inspiration the faculty has helped students to develop good habits of body, such as health instead of invalidism, skill instead of bungling, industry instead of laziness. Through the untiring help of the faculty the boys and girls have acquired good mental habits—accuracy instead of inaccuracy, zeal instead of indifference, success instead of failure. The young people have been stimu- lated to develop good social and moral habits, such as sincerity instead of pretense, sympathy instead of hate, tolerance instead of bigotry, peace instead of war. Today we can see how many parts of the world are suffering because their people have not been properly educated and trained to strive for peace and pro- gress. The present crisis abroad is the result of education which cultivated habits of fear, hate, intolerance, aggression, greed, and war. Shields High School has contributed its share to democracy by training its boys and girls to become fine men and women. The students have cultivated habits of sympathy, cooperation, and goodwill; of service and sacrifice for the common good; of joy and pride in good workmanship. More important than any particular course of education or subject of study in shaping our characters have been the personalities that surrounded us. The personalities of the teachers have played a large part in the development of the youth of Shields High School. The students of Shields High School value highly the experience and ever- lasting knowledge which their school has offered them. While they have been educated for discipline and information, they have also been educated for democracy. Thk Editor THE SCHOOL A dm in istra tion Faculty Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Junior High School President Treasurer Secretary THE BOARD OF EDUCATION As the representative agency of the community which has charge of educational affairs, the general function of the Board of Education may be stated as responsibility for planning, executing, and evalu- ating the local educational program. Board members represent all the people in the community. To func- tion properly a member must have a clear concept of the purposes of educational enterprise and should participate in the determination of policies which will lead to the attainment of these purposes. He views his responsibility as that of formulating such policies and of setting up an administrative organi- zation that will properly execute them. His decisions must be just and in the best interest of the children of the city. In these decisions, the board member is guided by the ideals of education in a democracy BOARD OF EDUCATION A. L. Jackson President Franklin College Lenore Swails Treasurer Chicago University, State Normal Edward Massman Secretary Louisville Bryant and Stratton Business College such as equal educational opportunity, need of a governing philosophy of education and service, and realization of the close relationship between educa- tion and enlightened public opinion which is essential to our American way of life. Seymour is especially fortunate in having a School Board composed of members who are of this high caliber, citizens who stand well in the com- munity, and who are unselfish in their desire to serve the best interests of our boys and girls. This is evi- denced by the interest taken by our Board of Educa- tion in the completion of the new gymnasium, in the establishment of a more practical kind of education, including vocational courses and education for de- fense, and in the keen interest manifested in the physical condition of the school buildings, in pro- viding the best teachers possible, and in every way safeguarding the character development of our youth. Norman J. Lasher Superintendent of Seymour Schools Indiana State Teachers College Marion College, A. B. Wisconsin University, M. A. wm NORMAN J. LASHER For sixteen years Mr. Lasher has devoted his time and ability to the developing of a successful public school system in Seymour. Through his leadership the Seymour Public Schools continue to exhibit pro- gress and achievement. The modernization of all the school buildings and the enlargement of the educational curricula have been encouraged by Mr. Lasher who realizes the value of a progressive educational system in the lives of young Americans. He understands the needs and problems of boys and girls and deals with them in a gracious and tolerant manner. Arthur L. Glaze Principal of Shields High School Indiana University, A. B., M. S. ARTHUR L. GLAZE In the lives of the young people in Shields High School the companionship and helpful advice of Mr. Glaze will always remain. His constancy and under- standing, his humor and wisdom will never be for- gotten. In 1922 he became a member of the faculty of Shields High School and during the past nineteen years has worked untiringly for the advancement of education. I;or two years Mr. Glaze has accepted the re- sponsibilities and performed intelligently his duties as principal. He constantly endeavors to make the teacher-student relationship as close and helpful as possible. ■I ■ FIRST ROW: L. GRACE ANDERSON— Latin; State Teacher Col- lege; Indiana University, A. B.; A.

Through The Year EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE The third annual Jackson County Educational Guidance Conference was held at Shields High School on February 11, 1941. Of the twenty-one representatives invited from universities, colleges, and other institutions nineteen participated in the conference. Those participating represented the following schools and institutions: Purdue, Indiana, Butler, Indiana State Teachers, Rose Poly Technic Institute, University of Cincinnati, Western College, John Herron Art Institute, Central Normal College, Indiana Central College, Ball State Teachers, DcPauw, University of Louisville, Hanover, Earlham, Franklin, Seymour Business College, Schneck Memorial Hospital, and The Approved University of Beauty Culture of Indianapolis. The eight Jackson County high schools outside of Seymour were invited. Browns- town, Clearspring, Vallonia, and Mcdora were each represented by one faculty member and seniors. One student attended from Tampico High School. At 9:30 A. M. all students of Shield High School and all visiting seniors and repre- sentatives met in the auditorium to hear Dr. Robert Farber from DcPauw University speak on the subject, The High School Graduate and His College.” At 1:30 P. M. all juniors and seniors, who were not attending individual conferences, met in the audi- torium to hear Gayle S. Eads, Supervisor of Teacher Placement Service of Indiana State Employment Service, conduct an Employment Forum Session. The Shields Junior and Senior High School Faculty entertained the representatives at luncheon in Room 104. John I. Scmbower of Indiana State Teachers College was the luncheon speaker. LATIN CONTEST The Latin department enrolled in the eighteenth annual State High School Latin Contest sponsored by the Indiana University Extension Division. The local contest was held February eighth. In Division I, which is open to all pupils who complete first year Latin at the end of the year, Helen Hamilton placed first and Polly Montgomery, second. In Division II, which is open to all who complete second year Latin at the end of the current school year, Dorothy Heidcman won first and Mary Noe, second. In the county contest which was held February twenty-second, the ranking was the same as in the local contest with the exception that Polly Montgomery was first and Helen Hamilton second in Division I. All except Dorothy Heidcman participated in the district contest held at Bedford, March twenty-ninth. While the local contestants did not receive one of the first three places in this contest, they will be better students for having participated in this mental marathon. MATHEMATICS CONTEST The Mathematics department was represented in algebra, plane geometry, and senior comprehensive mathematics at the mathematics contest sponsored by Indiana Uni- versity. The local entrants in the Sectional contest, held at Hanover on April fifth, were selected by a local examination in each of the subjects. The two participants in the algebra contest were Shirley Rumph and Peggy Able. In the geometry division, Harold Kamman and Robert Fyc were the local winners. These four students competed with twenty-eight other students at Hanover, and here Robert Fyc placed first in the division of geometry. He entered the State contest at Bloomington, April twenty-fifth. James Yockcy represented Shields High School in the State comprehensive mathematics contest on the same date and tied for first place. FRESHMAN INTRODUCTORY DAY On April the twenty-third, two hundred and thirty prospective Freshmen visited Shields High School. Of this number, one hundred and ten came from Junior High School; nine from the Catholic School; thirty-one from the Lutheran School and the remainder from the county schools of Jackson, Redding, and Washington townships. Transportation was furnished by Shields High School. After the registration, the guests were conducted through the building by student sponsors, visiting classrooms and attending demonstrations in the Agriculture and Home Economics departments. A convocation followed the demonstrations, after which the visitors were served light refreshments. PSI IOTA XI SHORT STORY CONTEST The local Psi Iota Xi again sponsored the Short Story Contest; however the contest this year was only local and was not carried to the state as it has been since 1932. Shields High School has always cooperated with the Psi Iota Xi’s to make this literary project a successful one. Many excellent stories have been written during the years. All girls of the senior class arc invited to submit original stories, not exceeding 5000 words nor less than 2500. On Honor Day Mrs. Glenn Reach presented cash awards to the following winners: Christine Rinehart, five dollars; Jeanette Coffey, three dollars; and Lillian Davidson, two dollars. SPELLING CONTEST The city spelling contest was won this year by Eva Mac Baxter, a student in the eighth grade of Shields Junior High School. The Junior High School conducted a series of elimination contests in both seventh and eighth grades. A champion speller was selected from each home room. Then the champions of the seven home rooms met in a final contest and Eva Mae was declared the champion speller for the Junior High School. The city contest was held March 26, 1941, in Shields High School assembly room. There were eleven contestants from the city schools. Again, Eva Mae won the contest and earned the right to represent the city of Seymour in the Louisville Times contest held at the Brown Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky, on April 19, 1941. LIONS ORATORICAL CONTEST To stimulate interest in the public discussion of matters of civic interest, the Seymour Lions club each year conducts an oratorical contest, open to students of Shields High School. Entrants in the contest arc selected and coached by Kenneth N. Warbritton, public speaking instructor in the high school, and the group is presented at a meeting of the Lions club the first week of May. The oratorical contest has been held annually for ten years. During that time the Lions have donated awards amounting to $100. This year for the first time in the history of the contest, two people tied for the prize; consequently ten dollar checks were given to Waldron Berry and Ed Eisner. ELK’S ESSAY CONTEST This year the Elk’s National Defense Committee sponsored an essay contest for high school students. What Uncle Sam Means to Me was the subject for all essays. Cash prizes of ten, five, and three dollars were offered for the three best essays. Ed Eisner won first place, Martha Lind won second, and Waldron Berry was the third place winner. The winning essay from this school was entered in the state contest and the state winner will be entered in the national contest. YOUTH FORUM Twelve students from Shields High School submitted essays for the fourth annual American Magazine Youth Forum Competition. This contest offers competition in two fields—article and graphic art. The subject for the article was What Americanism Means to Me,” and for art, What My Com- munity Contributes to the Nation.” The purpose of the project is to help young men and women to live purposefully and successfully in the world ferment, and to encourage them in particular to discover for themselves the permanent and great good inherent in American democracy. AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY CONTEST Each year the American Legion Auxiliary sponsors a combined Defense and Ameri- canism contest which is open to both elementary and high school students. This year Ed Eisner won first place and Joe James, second, in the Americanism division. These boys wrote on the subject, American Citizenship—Its Advantages and Obligations.” First place in the junior division was awarded to Donald Stcinbcrger of Junior High School who wrote on the same subject. However, a choice of three subjects was offered to the participants in this contest. The winners of the National Defense division were Waldron Berry, first, and Marilyn Wiencke, second. Their essays concerned Selective Service for the High School.” These contests arc sponsored annually by the American Legion Auxiliary to bring before the students American problems and induce the young people to realize the need of good citizens in a community and country. D. A. R. GOOD CITIZENSHIP PILGRIMAGE CONTEST The honor of first alternate in the annual state D. A. R. Good Citizenship Pilgrim- age contest was awarded to Christine Rinehart. This contest is conducted for senior girls in Indiana high schools. Christine was chosen on a vote of the senior class and the faculty to represent Shields High School and, together with other girls chosen in the state received a certifi- cate of award from the National Society of D. A. R. She was entered in the state contest by the Christopher Harrison Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, of Salem. More than three hundred and fifty girls entered the contest. Each was selected on basis of possession of an outstanding degree of the characteristics of dependability, service, leadership, patriotism and unselfish interest in family, school, community, and nation. The pilgrimage is sponsored each year to promote the appreciation of good citizen- ship in youth and to encourage in them an understanding of the responsibilities as well as the privileges of being a citizen of the United States. MUSIC CONTESTS The Fourth District Band Contest was held in the Shields High School auditorium, on April fifth with the local high school band acting as hosts. Mr. Rigsbee, music instructor in Shields High School, was the district chairman for this contest. Shields was one of the five Class B” bands. Class B” includes those schools having an enrollment of more than two hundred and fifty and less than seven hundred and fifty students. Shields High School band won first honors in this division and first place in the marching contest. Aurora, Greensburg, and Shields High School bands represented this distrist in the state contest held on April 26. at Tell City. Here Shields won first place in Division II. A very interesting program was offered to the visiting bands and the friends in attendance during the afternoon. The Woodwind Quintet from Arthur Jordan Con- servatory presented a special musical selection. Several band numbers were offered by the bands of Jeffersonville, Greensburg, and Brookville. The music department of Shields High School was represented at the solo and ensemble contest held at Bloomington. The six entrants from the local high school were Bruce, John, and Don McGuire, Elizabeth Hitch, Clarence Stark, and Byron DeVoe. They won third place in this contest. AGRICULTURAL CONTESTS Pictured in prominent newspapers and in various agricultural pamphlets was the Crops Judging team of the Shields High School Agricultural department. They well deserved this pubicity because they were awarded state championship honors at the 4-H Club Round-up and received a large trophy. The members of the team were Hubert Hazard, Roland Hackman, and Ralph Holtman. Two members of the agricultural department won state honors in the Future Farmer organization by reaching the rank of State Farmer. These young men were George Harlow and Roland Hackman. ROTARY DISCUSSION CONTEST Each year Rotary International conducts a discussion forum for High School youth. Subjects vary from year to year, dealing with the various objects of Rotary. Since Rotary is vitally interested in youth problems, the question this year was What Does the Ideal of Service Mean to Youth?” The contest in the local club was held April fourteenth. Ed Eisner and Dan Guinnup were the contestants. The members of the whole club acted as judges. Both of these boys made excellent addresses and were highly commended by the members of the club. Ed placed first and Dan, second. M Utrmonam iflartha IfliuMinrst I I Juttr 18, 1823 January 33. 1941 “(Tljrrr tfl no brail)!

ACTIVITIES AND ATHLETICS LEADERS OFFICERS FIRST AND SECOND SEMESTER President Merrill Nichter Vice-President Hugh Sparks Secretary-Treasurer Bertha Richart Sponsor Mr. Reach The Leaders Club is virtually the Student Council of Shields High School and acts as the student governing body. Its organization in the fall of 1931 was the result of a need long felt in school to provide an opportunity for students to participate in the formation of policies in the supervision of activities. Every new project introduced must be sanctioned by the Leaders Club which acts as the head of and cooperates with all activities. Most of the minor activities of the club are promoted through committees. Some of the major activities of the club include the assistance given in selling basketball season tickets, in distributing and collecting welfare bags, and in sponsoring convocations.

Ads pice. Prospice” Consider the past, pay attention to the present, look ahead to the future.” The Classical Club is organized each year to give the students in the department a further acquaint- ance with the people whose character and institutions and language are at the foundation of our modern culture. An effort is made to learn the Roman as a person, observe him in the life of the home and the large society of which he formed a part, and follow the civilization created by him as it marched into the far parts of the ancient world and later became the foundation of our whole Western civilization. By varied means the members of the club at the close of the year begin to realize that Knowledge of Latin is a vital part of any school and college preparation for the world of tomorrow which is to be in any wise adequate. There is no way to understand what is going on in the world today that compare' with a knowledge of how it came to be going on, what were its causes, its origins, and its earlier history.” —Nicholas Murray Butler, President, Columbia University.

Ed Eisner Mrs. Harrington Ruthan Buhner Patricia Harrington ..... Jane Thompson Grace Harrington Martha Pittman Tony Anderson...................... Waldron Berry The story of the play, The Patsy”, concerned Patricia Harrington, a girl who ran second” to her older sister. She was the Patsy who was blamed whenever anything went wrong, and was forced to remain in the background in order that her sister might be presented to advantage. Her father, a travel- ing man, was on her side, and finally declared his independence by putting Ma in her proper place. This brought about Patsy’s ultimate triumph, and, need- less to say afforded her happiness as the bride of the man she loved. “IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT” Presented By THE SENIOR CLASS Friday Evening, April 4, 1941 8:00 o’clock Shields High School Gymnasium Coach.......................Kenneth Warbritton Andrew Tankers.....................Toms Graessle Henrietta Tankers Eileen Robinson June Tankers Elizabeth Grace Robert Donavon.....................Tom Voss Jeffrey Deacon ....................John Toenjes Marie the maid Bertha Richart Liza the Cook ................

The purpose of the club has always been two-fold: to create greater interest in the home and to sponsor banquets and luncheons. This year a third objec- tive was added; namely, to study the organization and aims of the 4-H Clubs. It was thought that this would furnish good material for study since most of the girls are members of a 4-H club and many of them are Junior Leaders. The local club is affiliated with the State and National Home Economics Association. The state meeting was held in Indianapolis in October, at which time our organization was represented by Mary Ellen Ringer and Lola Mae Frey. To finance the expenses of the delegates the club has been selling various articles during the year. The average membership for the year 1940-41 was forty-three members.

Getting off to a good start, the Owls won their first game from Browns- town, but the following week were beaten by our bitter rival, Columbus, 20- 19- After the Columbus game, the Owls went on a losing streak until Christmas vacation, after which they came back to win more than their share of the games. The Owls won the Sectional at Brownstown by defeating Cortland in the final game. In the Regional the Owls were beaten by Jeffersonville in the second game of the afternoon. The following seniors will be lost by graduation: Dunker, McGuire, Bol- linger, Guinnup, and Zimmerman. OWLETS Basketball is a game in which experience means much to the player. The principal reason for organizing the Owlets was to give the younger boys a chance to play and to learn the fundamentals of the game. It is the duty of the coach to teach these boys the fundamentals of the game and to give them playing experience at the same time, because in future years these boys consti- tute the source from which the varsity draws. The Owlets enjoyed a successful season this year, winning eleven out of nineteen games. Mr. Pitts, who coached the Owlets for the first time this year, should receive much of the credit for the successful season. OWLS TOP ROW: Eisner, Bollinger, R.

BASEBALL In the spring almost everybody interested in sports turns his thoughts to baseball, a game rated by many as the most popular sport in America. So far this season the Owls have won all but one of the games. The out- look for next year’s team is good, because only a few boys will be lost by gradu- ation. The members of the team who will graduate this year are Nichter, Helmbrecht, Prather, Ude, and Breitfield. TRACK Spring also means the opening of the track season. This year most of the members of the track team are undergraduates who will form the nucleus for next year’s team. The two seniors who will be lost by graduation are Walters and Steinkamp. The Shields team will participate in the South Central Conference meet and some members in the State meet to lx? held at Indianapolis. GOLF It looks as if the Seymour Golf team will prove themselves worthy on the fairways this spring. This year’s golf combination is almost the same as last year’s. The team will participate in the South Central Conference Three Way Match and the Indiana State Match, to be held at the Speedway Course in Indianapolis. Those who will be lost by graduation are Voss, Guinnup, Graves, and Graessle. SPORTS PI EADS SPORTS Basketball ........................ Bowling ...........................

A round robin tournament was played and as a result members of team two, captained by Christine Rinehart, were declared the winners. They won ten straight games. In class basketball, one of the most exciting .«famas of the season took place when the Sophomores played the Juniors. The winning Sophomore team was captained by Marilyn Sweazey.

With much enthusiasm aroused for this activity, bowling was carried on in the form of a tournament with four league teams participating. Every Wednesday about twenty-five girls were present at the Lucky Strike Bowling Alleys to try their skill at this popular sport. TENNIS Tennis instruction was given in the fall by Miss Bunch. Fifty girls were actively engaged in tennis at that time. This outdoor sport was again rcssumcd in the spring. VOLLEYBALL Each home room was represented by a girls' volleyball team. During the spring season the gymnasium was reserved at noon for the volleyball tournament games. FOLK DANCING Miss Bunch, the coach of girls’ athletics, introduced folk dancing into Shields High School. Immedi- ately this activity became popular. Members of G. A. A. heartily welcomed folk dancing into their fields of activities. The Swiss dance and the barn dance proved to be the most popular of the new dances. G. A A.
