But in either case you must remember that you spent the years of your youth in an era of human beings whose lips are touched by fire. Never before, however, has there been a generation that needed so much fire the fire of progress. This fire must burn and make us press forward, for it is we who must accept the responsibility of righting the world after this terrible wrong that has been done it, is finished. For this reason, we should all make the most of our youth so that each of us can look back upon it and say That was a great m oment. Sally Sargeant Lois Guernsey Co-editors of 1945 Patriot To the Future Seniors of Shields High School: The present war is being fought to preserve the best of our civiliza- tion; yet because of the uncertainty and excitement of the times, many young people are tempted to throw overboard the proved and traditional values of democratic education. Our counsel to you is to continue to put your best into your school and get the best from it, to plan and work for a settled and peaceful future, and to contribute every way you can to that stability of daily life which we are fighting to maintain.

President URING TIMES such as these, when practically the entire world is a battlefield, I wonder how many of us so-called mature men and women realize the tension and uneasiness which exists in every high school student today. The entire student body of our High School has undoubtedly felt this tension during this year, especially the Seniors, some of whom have been taken into the armed forces before they could graduate with their class. It is my opinion tihat the youth of today is the finest America has ever produced morally, physically, and mentally. And I whole-heartedly disagree with those who would have us believe that our men and women of today are inferior in any one of these classifications. It is with a mixed feeling of pride, humbleness, and sorrow, that I stand and read the names of more than six hundred young men and women on the Roll of Honor who are in the armed forces, defending America. I am prideful that I live in a part of America where love of country is mani- fest in this way; I am humble in that I cannot do as much as they; and I ' m filled with sorrow when I see those gold stars, and when I think of those young people who will return handicapped. It is a great debt we mature men and women owe these young peo- ple. Let ' s assure this class of 1945, a great many of whom will soon be in the armed forces, as well as those who have gone before, that we here at home will not forget. Let every teacher and school official resolve that when these young men and women return from war that, at old Shields High, they shall receive an earnest and sincere helpfulness from each one of us to rehabilitate themselves.

There were 110 in the seventh grade and 117 in the eighth grade. The records of all students had been carefully checked and the students were enrolled in sections according to their scholastic abilities and intelligent quotients. The Al-Jax Chemical Company gave an award to the outstanding Junior High Student. The selection was based on scholarship, leadership, character, citizenship, and personality. Gaylord Brooks was chosen for this award. Junior High did very well in the bond selling campaign. In December the students alone sold $4,464.90 worth of war bonds and stamps. Jack Jackson and Marilyn Wetzel are the Junior High representatives in the Governing Board of Harmony Hangout. Shields Junior High School was commissioned as a separate unit by the state of Indiana on October 13, 1944. Activities TOP ROW — J. Reach, D. Davis, R. Steinkamp, H. Kroeger, J. Rogers, B.

Therefore, the Shields Owl was welcomed back with much enthusiasm at the beginning of the second semester, after having been non-existent for over a year. This year the Salem Democrat has printed the Owl, and every other Friday 600 copies have rolled off the presses to be distributed among the students here. Over forty schools are on the exchange list. Many Shields alumni now in service enjoy the Owl at the different fighting fronts, for it is mailed to them at a special rate. One of the main accomplishments of this year ' s staff came when the Owl was chosen a member of Quill and Scroll, the only International Honorary Society for high school journalists. Only juniors and seniors who rank in the upper third of their class and who have done outstanding work in journalism are eligible for membership in Quill and Scroll. Phyllis Ballard, Mary Thoele, Arelene Montgomery, Robert Saffel, Elvira Otting, and Lynn Schrier became the six charter members. Phyllis Ballard Editor Mary Thoele .Asst.

[TH THE WORLD in its present condition, when there is so much intolerance and misunder- standing the importance of becoming better acquainted with our neighbors cannot be over astimated. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to cultivate better feelings between America and our Spanish speaking neighbors to learn more about customs and their language. The Spanish have a proverb, In order to understand one ' s neighbor, it is necessary to put the head into his house , and that is what we try to do. In the meetings Spanish games are played and Spanish customs are discussed, giving the students a deeper knowledge of their ways. The club is made up of students who are taking and have taken Spanish. It meets every other Thursday during the home room period. Committees are chosen each week to have charge of the pro- grams. Every year at least one party is held, the main event being the Spanish Pinata . Through the Spanish Club, students are brought to realize the significance not only of understanding the Spanish language, but also of understanding the people who speak it. TOP ROW — B, Scott, L.

HE CLASSICAL CLUB has long been a well established organization of Shields High School, [ts marked growth attests its validity. The Club with its varying programs supplements the work of the classroom and helps to inculcate the idea that mankind exists, or should :xist, not to live only, but, as Aristotle defines it, to live nobly. A noble and enjoyable life demands an imaginative participation in all that the human race has done, or said, or thought, that is exellent. The Club is a medium to keep up and to diffuse interest in the best literature. Talks included such topics as the daily life of the ' Romans, religious ideas, Roman history and traditions, characteristic Roman qualities and stories illustrative of them (patriotism, courage, fortitude, honor in keeping one ' s word, integrity in public life, uprightness in private life, feeling for justice, and pride in worthy achievement.) Other parts of the program include Latin songs, plays, contest, and games. Nicholas Murray Butler, Prerident of Columbia University, says: No educational substitute for Greek and Latin has ever been found, and none will be found so long as cur present civilization en- dures.

During December they successfully completed several projects to help cheer the wounded veterans in Billings and Wakeman hospitals. Playing cards, sheet music, gift wrappings, candy, cookies, and oranges were collected and sent to these hospitals and attractive holiday favors were made for hospital trays at Freeman Field. As a climax to their work, the girls celebrated at their Christmas party December 16, after which they went carolling. Bundle Day clothing drive was sponsored by the club during the week of January 21 to 26 in all the city schools through the SAVE THE CHILDREN FEDERATION in New York. The girls were proud to collect 22 bags of clean, usable clothing which was sent overseas to bombed out countries. A Bundle Benefit Dance was held on Friday night, January 26 and a free ticket was given for each bundle of clothing. Ten dollars was given to the Red Cross and a $50 dollar war bond was purchased by the Girl Reserve this year to be placed in the scholarship fund. This project is a joint Hi-Y — Girl Reserve project, the purpose of which is to offer a scholarship each year from the funds received from the interest which the bonds will draw. The plan was originated in 1942 by Cpl. Eddie Eisner who is now serving overseas with the armed forces and at that time was president of the Hi-Y club. Highlights on club programs were the talk which Mrs. Hayes Webster, wife of Chaplin Webster, now serving overseas, gave on Preparation of Worth-While Living ; and Mrs. Steinkamp ' s demonstration of correct application of make-up for the teen-age girls.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT S LONG AGO as 500 B.C., the great Chinese philosopher, Confucius, said, When music and courtesy are better understood and appreciated, there will be no more war. And sages and statesmen of all ages have preached the gospel of music in the cause of world peace and pleaded S flfor its prominence in the national life of all peoples. Those who have experienced the joy and camaraderie which comes from singing and playing with others know that they are right — that music is a real force for peace and that it makes for the most neighborly and kindly of feelings, uniting men in happiness and understanding. The Shields High School Music Department, through its various organizations has endeavored throughout the year to establish a better understanding between church and school, between school and community, our school and neighboring schools. It was Longfellow who declared music to be the universal language — the common tie between races, recognizing no creed, no nationality, no caste. He was right, for music can indeed be understood by all of us alike; rich and poor, young and old, educatedand uneducated. TOP ROW — J. Jordan, N. Hancock, P. Baldwin, B. Davis, N. Steinkamp, R.

The local Hi-Y Club is one of 7000 such clubs existing throughout the United States and Canada. It is the high school organization of the Y. M. C. A., whose purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian characters. The Hi-Y Club carried out several of its traditional projects this year. Two convocations were sponsored by the club: in the fall the student body heard Field Secretary R. J. Duke, who organized the local club, and on May 7, State Y. M. C. A. Secretary Frank M. Liddle spoke at general assembly. The club also sponsored the annual class tournament and turned the proceeds -of $92.98 over to the Red Cross. This year, as last, the club felt the effects of the draft. Three of its officers were inducted into the armed forces, however, with a large membership with which to start the coming year, a good year for Hi-Y is anti cipated. HE LEADERS CLUB was re-organized in February, 1945, under he supervision of Mr. Ever- don to promote harmonious relations between teachers and students and among students themselves, to perpetuate and maintain high standards of conduct, to help students to a greater appreciation of their opportunities in the school, to make laws that are expedient for the school, to promote understanding, to receive and act upon petitions presented by any class or group of students, and to provide a suitable means of organization for the student body. The Leaders Club is divided into two governmental branches, the executive and the legislative. The executive branch is composed of three students elected from each class. The legislative branch is com- posed of one student elected from each home room. Some of the accomplishments of the Leaders Club are the establishment of the Lost and Found Department, the cleaning of the Trophy Case, a survey of the corridor traffic during the class periods, the provision for an assistant librarian, the planning of dance rules, the collection of material for a book to be published later in the year, and planning for the improvement of the Safety Patrol for 1945-1946.

HE COMMERCIAL CLUB of shields High School is a unique student organization in that it offers its services when and where needed. No credit is claimed, no praise accepted for efforts expended. Meetings are called only when there is service to be rendered or business to be transacted. Quietly serving, and growing wise there by. could well be the motto of this organization. Most of the work performed by the organization is done by individuals or small groups. Stencil cutting, compiling results of special studies and tests, filling in special forms on the type- writer, acting as student secretaries for teachers, assisting in the Offices of the Principals and Deans are a few of the little but helpful tasks the club members have performed. The Distributive Survey, made so successfully during the first week of May, could not possibly have been done at all had it not been for the clerical skill of members of this group which was quietly and effectively exercised behind the scene.

STAGE SCRIPT OFFICERS Arelene Montgomery Presdent Roland Steinkamp Vice-President Mary Lou Yeager Treasurer Dona Sue Day Secretary Clarence Johnson Club News Reporter I HE STAGE AND SCRIPT CLUB has, until this past November, been inactive since 1942. ■ y l There were two chart er members, Bette Franklin and Arlene Montgomery, in school who I were interested in reorganizing the club; therefore they assumed part of the responsibility of I writing a constitution and an initiation service. The purposes of the Stage and Script Club are to promote interest in drama to acquaint oneself with back-stage activities, and to improve one ' s speaking ability. Light Competition, a Christmas play in one act, was the first job tackled by the club. This play, by Louise Helliwell, was presented as the Christmas program. The students enjoyed seeling their friends do the character parts of Mrs. Benton, Mr. Benton, John Reynolds, and Aunt Margaret. In order to improve their habits of speech the club members have been doing choral reading selec- tions at their recent meetings. Back-stage work was new to many of the club members; they have come to realize their work back- stage is as important as the wo rk of those behind the footlights. Theatrical make-up was purchased for the various dramatic activities; therefore many of the club members have learned the correct usage of such make-up. TOP ROW — S. Chris, D. Williams, R.

A., as it is commonly known, is the national organization of, by, and for boys studying vocational agriculture in public secondary school. There are four grades or degrees of active membership — Green Hand , Future Flarmer , Hoosier Farmer , and Ame rican Farmer . These grades of membership are based on definite accomplishment in connection with the vocational agricultural program of the school. Part of the F. F. A. creed is as follows: I believe in the future of farming, with a faith born not of words but of deeds — achievements won by the present and past generation of farmers; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come up to us from the struggles of former years. Perhaps no more appropriate colors for a live up-and-coming youth organization could have been selected than the national Blue and Corn-Gold. The motto consists of only four lines of practical philosophy: Learning to Do Doing to Earn Earning to Live Living to Serve SAFETY PATROL jURING THE PAST few years students of all school ages have made a very fine safety record, Ithe best so far of any age goup. This shows what education can do in making people safety jminded. The most important development in school safety is the Safety Patrol. Their activities Jhave proved to be so effective in reducing accidents among the school population that patrols have been organized in most schools. Shields Junior and Senior High can be justly proud of its safety record and much credit is due the group of volunteers that make up our organization. Rain cr shine you can see them patrolling street intersections, checking bicycle racks, and looking after the general safety of the school. They also render a valuable service at all athletic contests. SECOND ROW — K. Engleking, J. Holmes, M. Reinbold, H. Stevens, D. Timbers, C. Emily, E. Engleking, J. Sage, J. Farley. FIRST ROW — C.

CONTESTS (Continued) MUSIC CONTEST Shields High School is a member of the Central and Southern Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Association. Each year this association of High Schools sponsors their own music contest, thus removing the element of advestising for any college or university. Shields students were among 1,900 contestants to participate in this year ' s Solo and Ensemble Con- test, held in Terre Haute. Entered in twenty-one events, they came home with sixteen firsts and five seconds. First divisions were won by Adrienne George, Nancy Hancock, Mabel Widdop, the Clarinet Quartet composed of Richard Hyatt, Joyce Dittman, Phyllis Hunt, and Arnell Judd; Norma Davidson, Margaret Taskey, Shiela Wieder, Cynthia Sargeant, Joyce Dittman, Dorena VanVoorhies, Sue Droege, Joyce Quade, Mary Jeanne Franke, Sally Sargeant, the Brass Quartet composed of Margaret Taskey, Lynn Ernest, Nancy Hancock, and Adrienne George;the Woodwind Quartet composed of Richard Hyatt, Cynthia Sargeant, Sally Sargeant, and Imogene McClellan. Second divisions were won by Joe Gillespie, Richard Hyatt, Lawrence Shannon, Richard Mattox, and Margaret Taskey. On April 211, the Shields band was entered in the Band Contest which was held at the University School in Bloomington. Winning a first division, it was acclaimed one of the outstanding organizations to participate in the contest this year. The row of plaques is growing; this year the fifth one was added to the display on the music room wall. INDIANA NAVY DAY ESSAY CONTEST The Navy League of the United States in co-operation with Navy Personnel of the Indiana Area and the Indiana Board of Education sponsored the Navy Day Contest from October 1 to October 15, 1944. The contest was open to all young men and young women of all public, private, and parochial high schools in Indiana — on the subject, Why Our Navy Guarantees Freedom. This contest gave al pupils an opportunity to better acquaint themselves with the United States Navy; its activities, and its men. The essays, limited to a maximum of 500 words and a minimum of 300 words, were judged by the established rules of rhetoric, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Barbara Doell and Mary Helen Spray were local winners in the contest. The state awards consisted of $100 War Bond to the boy and girl winning first place; $50 to the second place winners; and $25 to the third place winners. AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY The American Legion Auxiliary again sponsored an Americanism Essay Contest which was open t« all pupils of junior and senior high school age. Thomas Jefferson, His Contribution to American Democracy, was the subject chosen for the five hundred word essay due March 8, 1945. The essays were judged on the following points: Choice of subject matter (50 points), organization of subject matter (30 points), and choice of words (20 points). Montgomery Shields won first place in the contest, nd Carolyn Fye placed second. DAUGHTERS OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION The John Wallace Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsored the Good Citizenship Contest. This National Contest was open to all four-year-accredited senior high schools. The rules of the contest required that the members of the senior class choose by vote three girls in their class who possessed the following qualities to an outstanding degree. Dependability, Service, Leader- ship, and Patriotism. From the three girls thus elected, the high school faculty selected one who became the Good Citizen. Lois Guernsey was chosen the Good Citizen of Shields High School. ART CONTEST Cash awards amounting to $10 were given by the Psi Iota XI Sorority of Seymour for the four best works of art done by students in senior high school. The requirements for the contest were as follows; the work must be original, only two entries could be submitted by one student; any medium was acceptable — oil, water color, pastel, or tempera. The sculpture work was to be done in clay, wood, or soap, all properly mounted and labeled. Ruth Wolter won first place and Marguerite VonFange, Clarence Grelle, and Jeanne EuDaly were the three second place winners. Athletics I. Huber Cheer Leaders M. Chambers P. Warner P. Downey s ci HE GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION became a member of the the state organization in 1937. This made it possible for the local G. A. A. to receive state awards as well as guidance. Approximately fifty girls belong to the organization. This does not include the freshman girls who are not eligible until they earn fifty points. Sports offered to the G. A. A. this year were soccer, tumbling, basketball, bowling, volleyball, archery, and softball. An overnight hike was enjoyed in the eary fall. Later in the year a Sadie Hawkin ' s dance proved to be a lot of fun to everyone who attended. The district meeting of the state G. A. A. was held at Indiana University. Its purpose was instruc- tion in refereeing and the correct technique to use in minor sports. Mary Pollard, Phyllis Ballard, Irma Huber, Phyllis Warner, Virginia French, Mary Otte and Nancy Steinmetz were the representatives from our school. In May a rough initiation was held for our freshman girls. After passing this successfully they were formally taken into our organization. The Seniors were honored by a breakfast at Shields Park with all underclassmen doing the work. Plaques the highest state award, were presented to Phyllis Ballard and Phyllis Warner on Honor Day. A sweater the highest local award, was presented toPhyllis Warner at the same time. TUMBLING TOP ROW— D. Ogan, M. Ewing, R. Conway, S. Wieder, C. Reach, K. Swann, F. Kramer. CENTER— B.

The Owls lost their first two games to New Castle and Broad Ripple. After two defeats they rallied and defeated the Columbus Bulldogs — 13 to 7. Coach Van Liew says, Use diplomacy while playing the game, make the opponents think you are going to do one thing, then do the other. Coach is an old hand at this business of football, he keeps every- one guessing. The Senior Class of 1945 is wishing Coach Van Liew ' s Owls a victorious year in 1946. FOOTBALL SENIOR )n Although Van , as his boys call him, used the same formation this year as last he still had his boys playing different football. He had many plays which the boys said were the best they had ever seen. Coach Van Liew and the members of his team wish to thank all those who helped push the team this season. The Owls will lose twelve men through gradution: Icabod Coryea, Horse Davis, Deacon Keach, H. Fox, C. Preuss, Baby Face Davidson, Sand Hog Spray, Bull Helt, B. Goddard, R.

Throughout the season the Owlets practiced hard and conscientiously and are well on their way toward perfection which has not been achieved by the Owlets for several years. Under the able coaching and watchful eye of Mr. Englehardt the Owlets have been able to win the greater majority of their games. These boys 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 them winners in 1945-46. • f] Urn mil ii TOP ROW — R. Maher, A. Thompson, R. Nichter, C. Patterson, C. Findley, N.

For our first competition, we entertained Scottsburg at Seymour. Our boys placed in every event and came through with a 78-1 3 to 30-2 3 victory. The main events in the Mitchell meet were pole vault, half-mile, and mile. Mr. Van Liew ' s team will lose by graduation the following boys: Gene Coryea, John Rogers, Harlan Davidson, Roland Steinkamp, Claude Polley, Lloyd Howard, Thyrl Lee, and Willis Wienhorst. Although this is the first year for baseball since 1 940, the boys show great qualities of a good baseball team. Our boys are under the excellent supervision of Mr. Englehardt, who was at one time a professional ball player. Mr. Engleha:dt says that our boys do very well considering the fact that we haven ' t played baseball for the last four years. A statement such as that coming from Mr. Englehardt is considered a great compliment by all the members of the the team. The Seniors of 1945 wish the new baseball team many victorious years in the future. :g§C3fe TOP ROW— L. Hines, L. Kendall, R. Conway, D. Hoffman, R. Saffel, R. Schleter, P. Cordes, J. Reinbald, R.
