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.
