Over sixty students have worked on the Owl this year, serving in the editorial, circulation, and advertising departments. The members of the staff have learned, through actual experience in working on a printed paper, some of the problems confront- ing today ' s press, and have realized the import- ance of the printed word. Members of the editorial staff interview various sources for the writing of their news articles and write articles based on this informa- tion. Typists type the material, and after headlines are written and copy checked for each story, material is sent to the Seymour Daily Tribune, where it is printed. Staff members read proof and return the galley proofs to the Tribune for correction. Then they make up the Owl, placing stories in the positions in which they appear in the Owl. s Top Row — Mr. Ogan (Sponsor), R. Speckner, D. Schrenk, J. Hamilton, R. Lange, H. Zum- hingst, P.

The Leaders Club is virtually the Student Council of Shields High School and acts as the student governing body. It was organized in the fall of 1931 to provide an opportunity for students to participate in the formation of policies in the supervision of activities. The Leaders Club is composed of the presidents of the Home Rooms and the senior class officers. Most of the minor activities of the club are promoted through committees. Some of the club ' s major activities include the assistance given in selling basketball season tickets, in distributing and collecting welfare bags, and in sponsor- ing convocations. FUTURE FARMERS President Ralph Holtman Vice-President Paul Burbrmk Secretary Neal Boxman Treasurer Henry Pottschmidt Sponsor Mr. Henderson The Seymour Chapter of Future Farmers of America received its charter in 1929. At the present time there are thirty-two members and three honorary members. The purpose of the F. F. A. is to promote love of country life and agriculture, practice thrift and patriot- ism, develop leadership, and encourage high scholarship. The symbols of the F. F. A are indicative of its ex- tensive interests: the Owl represents wisdom and knowl- edge ; the Plow, labor and tillage of the soil ; the Rising Sun, progress ; the cross section of an ear of corn, agri- cultural interests ; the American Eagle, the national scope of the organization. This year, as in all years past, the club has sub- mitted candidates for the third degree, that of State Farmer. Neal Boxman, Paul Burbrink, and Henry Pott- schmidt have applied for this degree. In addition to the Greenhand and Future Farmer Degree, we have one candi- date for American Farmer, Ralph Holtman. We have several trying out for the district public speaking and judging contest which follows later in the year. This year our club has liberated to qualified members three gilts and one hundred and sixty pheasants in the Seymour community. We also collected 13,510 pounds of scrap metal and bought a ten dollar Tuberculosis bond. President Thomas Kutch Vice-President Carl Preuss Secretary . . . . Bette Reed Treasurer Patricia Phillips Program Chairman . Imogene McClellan Sponsor Miss Anderson We have seen many periods which tried the soul of the Republic. We shall see many more. . . . There have been and will be times when the people will be called itpon to make sacrifices for their country. Un- less Americans shall continue to live in something more than the present, to be moved by something more than material gains, they will not be able to respond to these requirements and they will go do$vn as other peoples have gone down before some nation possessed of a greater moral force. The will to endure is not the creation of a moment ; it is the result of long training. That wilt have been our possession up to the present hour The object of oitr education is to continue us in this great power. That power depends upon our ideals. The great and unfailing source of that power and these ideals has been the influence of the classics of Greece and Rome. Those who believe in America, in her language, her arts, her literature and in her science, will seek to perpetuate them by perpetuating the education which has produced them. — Calvin Cool id ge. The Classical Club which supplemented the work of the classroom in fostering these ideals held its regular meetings the first and third Thursdays of the month. It admitted to membership those who were enrolled in the Latin department or those formerly enrolled who still maintained an interest in the classical studies. This year the club saw a nominal growth with twenty-seven enrolled. Programs included material relative to Roman life and thought, plays, games, and songs. Members so ably responded that they might well have had for their motto Semper Paratus. President Martha Lou Setser Vice-President Marilyn Deweese Secretary-Treas Laura Eggerman Sponsor Miss Feeler The Nature Club, which meets the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, has a membership of twenty- three students who are particularly interested in Biology. The motto of the club, Outdoor Indiana , has formed the basis for many of the discussion periods. The club has attempted to instill into each member the following facts: first, the best place to study nature is not from books, but from Nature itself; second, in studying Nature we must be observant and accurate. Many of the club activities have been the result of the emergency war program. The members helped with the salvage campaign and collected tin cans and kitchen fats. The proceeds from the spring dance were used to buy baseball equipment for Freeman Field. Classical Top Row — T. Kutch, C Preuss, A. Montgomery, L. Guernsey, I. McClellan, E. Otting, P.

SAFETY PATROL OFFICERS Captain Carl Surenkamp First Lieutenant William Miller Second Lieutenant Howard Stevens Sergeant Max Helmbrecht Sponsor Howard R. Noe The School Patrol is strictly a voluntary group made up of boys from the junior and senior high schools. It is the duty of these boys to watch the crossings near the schools so that accidents will not occur. Since the organization of the Patrol not a single accident has occurred. In addition to this duty the boys have parked the cars at the football games and also have kept the doors closed to the gymnasium, dur- ing games. Two of the Captains, Harold Ruddick and Franklin Walker, left shortly after the first semester to join the armed forces. The Patrol is not only essential to the school but it helps the boys to learn coopera- tion and gives them a feeling of pride knowing they are being of service to the school and to the school children. THE HI-Y CLUB President Richard Hamilton Vice-President Dewey Abel Secreatry -Treasurer Ralph Holtman Chaplain Johnny Otte Sergeant-at-Ams Gene Brewer The first of the three major tasks that face the 7,000 Hi-Y Clubs in the United States, during 1943, is to assist members and their high school colleagues to play their part as Christians in the world struggle for free- dom and the establishment of a world order of justice. The second, to see, in cooperation with other groups of young people and adults, the basis for a world organiza- tion of international justice and good will that will guar- antee a just and durable peace. Third, to demonstrate now with other young people and adults, in the home, the school, and the community, the value and applications of Christian Democracy that we commend to the rest of the world. In carrying out its part in this nation-wide program, the local club sponsored Mr. Kenneth Lancaster, Assitant State Secretary, of the Y. M. C. A., who spoke at a con- vocation on the subject Youth and Today ' s Problems. On March 24, the Seymour Chapter was host to a District Hi-Y Conference where the program held was based upon the above three objectives. One of the outstanding projects of the year was the sponsoring of an all day general guidance program on April I. This was conducted by the State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Frank Liddle. Mr. Liddle also spoke at the Lion ' s Club after concluding his program at the school. Top Row — Mr. Noe (Sponsor), L. Rhoades, J. Jewell, C. Suren- kamp, M. Helmbrecht, D. Wag- goner.

OFFICERS President Jean Frost Vice-President Lynn Carter Secretary Jewel Weber Treasurer . -June Bohnenkamp Sponsor Miss Feaster The stated purpose of the Girl Reserves is To find and give the best. In following that theme, the organi- zation seeks every opportunity to serve the community and the school. Our club is an active group which holds the girls ' interest through four years of high school. The program of the club acquaints the girls with the importance of service to God, loyalty to friends and to our country. These programs also include other discussions of interest enabling them to obtain poise and mold pleasing personalities. The Girl Reserves have been doing their share in the National Defense Program by purchasing a Defense Bond and assisting the Red Cross in collecting silverware to be used by the hospital at Camp Atterbury. During the holiday season our club cooperated with the faculty in planning an All-School Christmas Party. These social activities enable girls to become acquainted with all the high school students, thus giving them a satisfying school life. CRAFTS At the beginning of the semester, the seventh grade boys learn lettering and general art. As they become more proficient, they are permitted to begin work on crafts. In this work, they use wood, plastics, metal, and leather, making vari- ous objects such as belts, pins, and serving trays. This year, the members of the class decided they would like to make government model aircraft for use in instructing pilots. The boys were given flying model kits, and after completion of these they were allowed to begin work on government models. The boys proved they could do good work, because several of their models were accepted by the Navy Department. Elmer and the Love Bug Top Row — Mr. Warbritton (Coach) R. Hamilton, R. Pittman.

Working without compensation other than the satisfaction of serving a community need, the one hundred and fifty students in the three groups have contributed a total of 138,368 student-performance units of service. The vari- ous groups have played or sung at eighty-four public gatherings during the school year, and calls on the music department this year for such service have been unusually numerous on account of the community ' s wartime activities. Members of the music department do not consider their work as one in which the individual artistic benefits to the student are of major importance, but rather they have learned from experience that one of the benefits is develop- ment of a habit of being willing to perform community service without com- pensation whenever the opportunity presents itself.

CITIZENSHIP PILGRIMAGE CONTEST The Salem Christopher Harrison Chapter of the Indiana Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution again sponsored the Good Citizenship Pilgrimage Contest in the high schools of Washington and Jackson counties. This contest was approved by the Chairman of the Indiana High School Activities Committee. Following the rules specified by the Salem Chapter, the seniors chose by vote three girls in their class who possessed the following qualities to an outstanding degree: 1. Dependability — truthfulness, loyalty and punctuality. 2. Service — cooperation, courtesy, consideration of others. 3. Leadership — personality, ability to assume responsibility. 4. Patriotism — in family, school, community and nation. The faculty then chose by vote one girl from the three selected by the seniors. The conte st, which was close, resulted in Marilyn Weddle ' s being chosen Shields High School Good Citizen. She then filled out a questionnaire and wrote an essay. These were entered in the district contest. All Good Citizens received a certificate of award. Marilyn ' s was presented on Honor Day. LATIN CONTEST The twentieth State High School Latin Contest was sponsored by the Extension Division of Indiana University. However, the necessities of an all-out war program and its resulting restrictions on travel and the need for effective allocation of time, energy, and funds, compelled a streamlin : ng of the contest program, but at the same time an effort was made to encourage and recognize achievement. Three divisions were enrolled in our school: first year (Division I), second year (Division II), and Vergil (Division IV.) The local, contest was held March 26, 1943 which resulted as follows: Division I, Joella Able, first, Mary Thoele, second, and P hyllis Ballard, alternate; Division II, Lois Guernsey, first, Thomas Kutch, second, and Bette Reed, alternate; Division IV, Jessie Ann Banks, first, Miriam Beldon, second, and Polly Montgomery, alternate. The combined county, district, and state contest was held April 10, 1943. In Division I, Mary Thoele received honorable mention in the state and in Division IV, Jessie Ann Banks received honorable mention in the state. MUSIC CONTEST On April 17, 1943, the Central and Southern Indiana School Band Contest and State Solo and Ensemble Contest was held at the Lawrenceburg Consolidated High School in Lawrenceburg. Owing to a lack of transportation facilities, the contest was divided and a portion was held at Terre Haute, Crawfordsville, and Lawrenceburg. The band won its first Division One and was also recommended for national com- petiton. The judges were complimentary in their report on the playing of the band. The band was awarded a plaque and each member was awarded a First Division medal. Seymour was well represented in the solo contest. Sally Sargeant, flute, placed in Division One and was recommended for national competition; Joyce Quade, flute; Martha Diamond, oboe and twirling placed in First Division. Richard Hyatt, clarinet, and Janet Gillesipe, violin, placed in Second Division. Marilyn Wrapp and Patches Auffen- berg, student conductors, received Division One rating. Miss Auffenberg was recom- mended for national competition as a conductor. Seymour was represented in the ensemble contest by two woodwind quintets. Quintet Number One, composed of John Otte, oboe; Sally Sargeant, flute; Richard Hyatt, clarinet; Imogene McClellan, bassoon; and Elizabeth Hitch, French horn, rated Division One. Quintet Number Two, composed of Martha Diamond, oboe; Janet Gillespie, clari- net; Lillian Rose, French horn; Joyce Quade, flute; and Imogene McClellan, bassoon, rated Division Two. AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY CONTEST State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Clement T. Malan, solicited Shields High School ' s cooperation in promoting the Essay Contest, sponsored by the National Defense Department of the American Legion Auxiliary of Indiana. Why Every American Should Invest Ten Per Cent or More of His Earnings in War Stamps and Bonds was the subject chosen for thej original essay which should not exceed five hundred words. The three state winners received three war bonds in $100, $75, and $50 denomi- nations. The local unit offered $2.00 in Defense Stamps for the first place in both Junior and Senior High School and $1.00 in Defense Stamps for second place. AGRICULTURAL CONTESTS Two members of the agricultural department, Paul Burbrink and Nea ' l Boxman, won state honors in the Future Farmers Organization by reaching the rank of Hoosier Farmers. A poultry and egg judging team consisting of Leo Thompson, Robert Heckman, Ralph Harlow, and Alfred Rittman, won second honors in the district 4-H contest at Washington, Indiana, on April 7. This team later competed in the state contest at the 4-H Round-Up at Purdue. Ralph Harlow scored the highest in the district. Ralph Holtman, Henry Pottschmidt, William Hill, and Paul Burbrink, the dairy team, also placed second at the district 4-H contest. The crops team consisting of David Montgomery, Neal Boxman, Paul Montgomery, and Donald Pfaffenberger, and the live-stock judging team, Carl Surenkamp, Alvin McGatha, Robert Hess, and Dallas Hohenstreiter, also participated in the district contest. LIONS ORATORICAL CONTEST On May 6, 1943, the tenth annual Lions Oratorical Contest was held at the Elks Club. The rules for this contest permitted the contestant to choose any subject that he desired, and to speak for eight minutes. The two contestants were J. Hubert Doerr and Richard Lange. POPPY POSTER Each year the American Legion Auxiliary sponsors a Poppy Poster Contest. The posters are divided into three classes: first class, grades four, five, and six; second class, grades seven, eight, and nine; and third class, grades ten, eleven, and twelve. A department prize is gitven to the first place poster in each class. The district prize-winning poster is sent to Department Poppy Chairman, Irene Kahlenbeck, not later than July 1, 1943. The first; and second place posters from each class are then entered in the Department Contest. Three posters selected by the judges are entered in the National Contest. The rules for the contest require that the poster be on cardboard fourteen by twenty inches, it must contain a poppy in natural color, the American flag is not to be used in any form, the slogan shall not exceed ten words and the words, American Legion, must be added. A number of posters from Shields Junior and Senior High School were entered in the contest. MATHEMATICS CONTEST The mathematics contest for high schools was sponsored again this year by the Indiana University Extension, though considerably streamlined to conserve materials and transportation. In Shields High School only algebra students participated. Limited to only ten manuscripts for use in the the local contest, the teachers of freshman algebra conducted preliminary eliminations in the classes and the ten who proved themselves eligible to write in this contest were Joella Able, Betty Hoevener, Elvira Otting, Victor Wessel, Marjorie Amundson, Bebe Thomas, Robert Saffell, Margaret Steinwedel, Rose Mary Fisher, and David McClure. Joella Able and Betty Hoevener placed first and second respectively, and Elvira Otting, winning third place, was alternate. Joella and Betty represented Shields High School at Franklin in the contest which was a combined sectional and state contest. The high papers in each sectional contest were sent to Bloomington to be rechecked and compared in order to determine the state winners. a n . M : ' : : f ; : : ' -:.i.

Soon after these began, came our physical fitness program for boys. Every junior and senior boy takes physical fitness four days a week and first aid one day. This program includes running, tumbling, wrestling, boxing, calisthenics, rope climbing, drilling, basketball, Softball, and a unique form of follow-the- leader which takes about forty minutes to complete. In this boys ' version of a girls ' game, the boys scale walls, jump off walls, climb ropes, climb over basketball goals, walk the roof girders in the gymnasium, and a few even go from one girder to another hand over hand. 6 ' A few weeks after the boys began the physical fitness program, the girls started taking physical education five days a week. Their program also includes calisthenics as well as other types of exercises. This program is merely one of the ways in which Shields High School is helping out in the United States War Effort. The instructors in this course are Miss Bunch, Mr. Surface, and Mr. Mason. TOP ROW — Hubert Fox, Lynn Schrier, Arthur Hill, Robert Carpenter, Charles Woolls, Robert Saffell, Jack Haper, James Fox, Paul Cooper. SECOND ROW — Logan Largent, William Spray, Don Steinberger, Harlan Davidson, Dewey Abel, Alex Demas, Dale Schrenk, Gene Coryea, Mr. Surface (Coach). FIRST ROW — Howard Rundquist, Gordon Coryea, Donald Davis, Herbert Zumhingst, Willis Dunker, John Keach, Paul Taylor, Richard Hamilton. FOOTBALL Coach Walter Surface ' s Owls got off to a flying start this season and were plowin ' right through until their fourth game when they met the Columbus Bulldogs. Here the Owls went down in defeat by an overwhelming score of 19-6. This evidently disheartened the boys since they were able to win only one more game during the season. Despite the fact that the boys won only half of their games this season, the public in general, as well as the student body, agrees with Coach Surface in saying, we had a fine team. They fought fairly and won fairly, they took defeat proudly and the 1942 football team was one of which Seymour can be proud. Football, which is a body builder, is one of the best games currently popular in the United States. Although our boys are participating in United States Government required Physical Education, football is encouraged to further develop the boy into a fast moving, quick thinking, hard hitting machine. Foot- ball is truly doing its part in ' America ' s War Effort. The Owls will lose six valuable players this year: Don Winn — tackle, Herbert Zumhingst — guard, Gordon Coryea— end, Dewey Abel — half-back, Richard Lange — center, and Richard Hamilton — end. Despite these losses the prospects for next year ' s Owls look very promising and the Senior Class of ' 43 wishes them Best of Luck. On November 19, 1942, the Shields High School Owls opened their 1942- 43 basketball season by meeting Columbus on the home hardwood. At the same time they fell in defeat to the Bulldogs by a score of 50 - 25. Following this the Owls met three more defeats, Greensburg, Shelbyville, and North Ver- non, before finally getting started. They then dove into Bedford and Franklin, beating them both and sailing along smoothly until they were beaten by Wash- ington ' s Continentals, 33 - 22. The remainder of the season was spent in losing to New Albany, Bedford, Columbus, and Jeffersonville; and winning over Scottsburg, Rushville, North Vernon, Greencastle, Connersville, and Scottsburg again. This gives us a little better than a fifty-fifty proposition since our boys won nine and lost eight games. At the end of the first semester the Owls lost a valuable player to the service, Gordon Coryea. This spring they will lose two more valuable players, Dewey Abel — guard, and Richard Dick Hamilton — center. tyu OWLET Although this season ' s Owlets weren ' t able to score any victories, they were still, in our estimation, a first rate team. They practiced hard and faithfully under the able coaching and watchful eye of Mr. Mason, but lacked the experience of combat so essential for a win- ning team. Defeat didn ' t phase their courage, and they fought each foe diligently and above all fairly and cleanly. Each defeat only whetted their determina- tion to become victorious. However this was of no avail. Their foes, more powerful through experience, were more than a match for them. Even though these boys went through a season of defeats, they have learned to play the game fairly and squarely, and how to take defeat gracefully and proudly. They are a fine group of boys and now have the experience which is sure to make the Owlets winners in 1943-44. lit {to Left to Right Mr. Surface (Coach), J. Keach, A. Demas, P. Taylor, D, Schrenk, G.

IOFTBALL The 1943 Softball team was made up of ten of the following boys: R. Prather, D. Abel, D. Schrenk, G. Brewer, H. Zumhingst, A. Demas, R. Hunt, H. Rundquist, M. Helmbrecht, D. Goddard, W. Goddard, D. Steinberger, R. Haskett, A. Barksdale, A. Hageman, H. Lucas, and R. Lange. Our team got off to a slow start this year due to inexperienced players and inclement weather. However much progress was shown in the boys ' manner of playing as the weather improved and the boys acquired more experience. The South Central Conference Tournament was held at Shelbyville on May 29th.

Since the weather conditions have been very bad this spring, most of the boys have had little practice. The same fate has also befallen Seymour as most other schools concerning boys leaving for the armed service and others working after school. This tends to make it difficult to compete with other schools and have entries in all events, however, the following boys are begin- ning to show improvement and are able to hold their own with the best athletes in the Conference: Gene Coryea, Howard Rundquist, Paul Taylor, John Otte, John Lange, Dewey Abel, Everett Booker, Thyrl Lee, Durbin Day, Kenneth Ritz, William Brock, Dallas Hohenstreiter, Don Davis, Scoville Helt, Richard Davidson, William Goddard, John Keach, Alger Hageman, and Alex Demas. For our first competition, we took some of our boys to Columbus for a quadrangular meet with Columbus, Franklin, and Shelbyville. We placed in every event except the shot Put and Low Hurdles. The next meet was with Scottsburg. Scottsburg won 70 - 33. On May 3, we entertained Scottsburg and North Vernon. This meet was closely contested. Seymour showed improve- ment by winning six first place events, but was beaten 66-54; North Vernon scored fourteen points. The remainder of the schedule follows: May 8.
