Its bright and cheery atmosphere is a pleasant place in which to work, and all who come in contact with it feel this friendly atmosphere. The office is staffed with a group of six helpers who issue the Flyer and do general office work. These office helpers are Rose Fisher, Bernard Bush, Norma Kriete, Nelline Clancy, Helen Thoele, and Joella Able. Such thmgs as typing transcripts of credits, keep- ing a record of those absent and tardy, and answering the telephone are everyday affairs around the office. Credits are received for Office Practice and it is a privilege and a pleasure to work here. The first semester Mrs. Elsa Schuster acted as Secretary to the Principal. The next twelve weeks Mrs. Doris Lewis filled this position, and Rose Fisher is in charge at the present time. 1.. .Si- ife Top Row — L.

Our school provided additional courses to meet the needs of those boys who were to enter the military service. Many of the Shields High School boys enlisted in the var- ious branches of service and others were called from the class rooms before graduation. The war taught us that victory was ours because of outstanding technicians who produced in a superior manner. In our first peace year since World War II, we are con- tinuing to add new courses to meet the demands of the post war world. We have enrolled in our classes some of the boys who were called to service before graduation. They realize that the young person with a diploma to his credit is better prepared for his life ' s work. Administrators and eachers realize that the schools must train competent leaders to solve the problems of peace. These leaders must through serious study prepare themselves to con- tribute constructively to civilization. fl QIgAA£4. J GIFT COMMITTEE Jean Pickerrcll, Tom Fleetwood, Carolyn Lucas, Mary Keller.

Our class play, The Late Christopher Bean , was a three-act comedy, starring Betty Booker, Lois Snyder, and Richard Hyatt. When we attended the Senior Dinner we all keenly knew that (jur high school days were coming to a close. When we went to the Prom this year we felt like the dignified important Senior should. We made our first appearance in our caps and gowns at our Baccalaureate services. On May 21 the Seniors re- ceived their share of awards on Honor Day. May 2 8 will be Commencement, then we will no longer be Seniors but will have won that coveted honor of alumni of Shields High School. 0€iiui ot s.fioau o- ' .lA.iDirl Name Points Margaret Lou Taskey 109 Elvira Otting 100 Joella Able 96 Bebe Thomas 92 June Bohnenkamp 91 Jane Bohnenkamp 88 BETTi ' HOEVENER 88 Mary Kamman 83 Marilee Baxter 81 Richard Hyatt 80 Kenneth Bobb 79 Margaret Steinwedel 77 Lynn Schrier 76 La Verne Beavers 70 Joyce D.ttman 67 Rob Roy Beldon 62 Bernard Bush 62 Victor Wessel 61 REQUIREMENTS FOR HONOR ROLL 1 .

Another call is given; And glows once more with Angel-steps The path which reaches Heaven. Our young and gentle friends, whose smile: Made brighter summer hours, Amid the frosts of autumn time Have left us with the flowers. No paling of the cheek of bloom Forewarned us of decay; No shadow ;rom the Silent Land Fell round our friends ' way. The light of their young lives went down. As sinks behind the hill The glorv of a setting star, Clear, suddenly, and still. — John Greenlcaf W ' hittier John George Laupus, III August 3. 1928 — December 9, 1945 Norman Lee Kasting November 4. 192S — December 18. 1945 Sunday Evening, May 26, 1946 SHIELDS HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Processional Brass Ensemble Anthem High School Choir Lord of Hosts — Christiansen Invocation Dr. Kenneth Murphy Anthem High School Choir Cherubim Song Tkach Scripture Reverend R.

The Patricians met the first and third Thursday and the Plebeians met the first and third Friday of tlie month. The programs were varied — including talks on Roman life, songs, contests, plays, and Latin in everyday life. Through the talks given and the studies made, a contribution was made to one of the great objects of education; namely, to help the boy or girl to an understanding of the world and how it came to be as it is, and to an appreciation of the values that make up civilization. In the study of Roman life and thought many modern political problems were seen in the course of development.

W. C. A. (Young ' omen ' s Christian Association) . It was first organized in Shields High School during the school year of 192S-26. This year there are 161 members. New members were initiated and old members renewed their pledge at an impressive candle-light service held at the First Methodist Church, October 17. Following a formal initiation a hazing hour for new members was lots of fun for everyone. The Girl Reserves were hostesses to an all -school ' hite Christmas dance December 21, Don Phillips ' orchestra furnished the music, Santa was present, and a student floorshow added to the occasion. $17 was collected from members and turned to the Women ' s Auxiliary of the American Legion to purchase Christmas gifts for hospitalized war veterans $15 was given to the American Red Cross during the local membership drive and a war bond was purchased by the Girl Reserves to add to their steadily mounting scholarship fund. Highlights on club programs were the talks given by Rev. Kenneth Nturphy who shared some of his experiences while overseas serving as Chaplain with the armed forces and Mrs. Arthur Vogel, a registered nurse, who talked n personal appearance and conducted an open forum on pertinent topics of interest to club members. Girl Reserves presented the Easter convocation program April 1 6. A Mother-Daughter banquet was held May 10 in honor of Mother ' s Day. Over 75 mothers were honor guests and it gave the girls an opportunity to show their mothers how much they are really appreciated.

B N D Music offers many opportunities to the students of Shields High School. Through its many organiza- tions, the Band, the Choir, the various vocal and instrumental ensembles, nian ' students have found a method of expression not open to them in other fields. Music of the Old Masters , the modern contem- poraries, and the ultra modern has found its way to the hearts of both vocal and instrumental students. The stablilizing effect of music over the nation ' s cities and indi iduals is realized by the students of the music department. The Band and many individual members of the Band have again brought many honors to Shields High School through the State Contests. The Shields Band for the fourth consecutive year placed in first division in the State Band Contest. Twenty of its members placed in first division in the State Solo and Ensemble Contest. Many others rated high in the contest. H I R The members of musical organizations have endeavored through music to Ecll Shields High School to the community. Their motto is Service through music. They have appeared at many school functions and before most of the organizations of the city. Recenth ' the choir completed a 900 mile tour of northern Indiana and Ohio schools and colleges, including a radio broadcast over W.T.A.M. in Cleveland. A part of their tour included an exchange of programs with the Defiance High School choir. The choir was rccoi cd with enthusiasm at each of its appearances. Music is truly the universal language, for regardless of race, color, creed, or language, it can be understood by all people. Tor Ro — T. Fcttie. R- Bottorff, Jjck Hill, J. Jackson, D. Ault, J.

H I U B OFFICERS President Charles VooUs Vice President ■William Willcy Secretary and Treasurer Robert Saffcll Sergeant -at -arms . .Richard Hyatt This year the cluh sponsored a basket-ball class tourney. From the proceeds of this project contributions were made to the Red Cross and Camp Bedford. Another important service project of the Hi-Y club was its participation in the Victory Clothing Collection Drive. The members collected and helped sort and pack the 8000 pounds of used clothing that was collected. The Hi-Y Club of Shields High School has as its motto, as do the other 7000 clubs in the United States, CLEAN SPEECH, CLEAN SPORTS AND CLEAN LIVING. The Hi-Y members try to complement this motto by rendering service to the school and community. At a fall district conference held in Orleans, Jesse Kovener was elected president of the district and Mr. Dittmer was chosen dis- trict advisor. The spring conference was held in Seymour with the local club as host. Tri Hi-Y girls from other schools and the local Girl Reesrves participated in this meeting which included a devotional service, discussion group, dinner and a social hour. QUILL AND SCROLL The Shields Chapter of Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, was established here during the spring semester of 194 when six members of the Owl Staff became charter members. Membership in Quill and Scroll is based upon five requirements: ( I ) Eligible students must be Juniors or Seniors. (2 ) They must be in the upper third of their class scholastically. (5) They must have done superior work in high school journalism. (4) They must be recommended by the advisor. ( ) They must be approved by the executive secretary at Northwestern University after he has inspected samples of iheir work. This year eight students were initiated into Quill and Scroll at the Owl Staff dinner in March. Initiation services were conducted by Robert Saffell, Lynn Schrier, Elvira Otting, Miss Halberstadt, and Miss Cummings, who became members last year. The new members are Donald Brown, Lois Snyder, Jane Rohncn- kamp, June Rohncnkamp, Bebe Thomas, Margaret Taskcy, Carol Clause, and Adrienne George. Top Row — Miss Halberstadt (Faculty Advisor), R.

Jean Harper, Bertha Kilgas, Carolyn Lucas The Commercial Club is a cooperative organization offering facilities for acquiring valuable knowledge of business. The enthu- siastic spirit of its members makes it a pleasurable undertaking. Formal meetings are conducted every two weeks. Some of the personal accomplishments of the students arc the development of cooperation, patience, and consideration for others. By participation in the programs, members of the club improve their writing and public speaking ability and develop leadership. The activities of the club have been many, including oflice T ' ork for the school, social programs for the members, showing of movies on business procedure, and presenting a play. A field trip to Indianapolis was also enjoyed and proved to be very profitable. Top Ro t — C. Miller, J. Jordan. C. Spahr, B. Bush, C. FIndley, J. Kovcncr, J . Bbir, M. Koop. Row Four — R.

Upon them land their response to the problems of life depends the preservation lof the American way of life. Those v ho have been entrusted with the solemn responsibility of helping prepare youth for the place they rightfully should assume competently in the community and nation have endeavored to provide at Shields High School instruction in different fields to meet the desires and needs of all: Academic, General, Commercial, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, and Vocational Agriculture courses. Every person who graduates must have thirty-two credits which includetwo majors and two minors. A major consists of three years of work in a chosen field; a minor of two years in another field. Believing that a well planned program of education develops friendship, emphasizes personal growth, development of special interests and skills, and independence of thought. Shields High School has developed an extensive program of extra-curricular activities. The programs of many of the activities have necessitated the students visiting outside the limits of Seymour, thus establishing friendships with students in other schools as well as serving as a medium for developing public relations. Many students of Shields High School have participated in several state contests and one national contest. We congratulate them for the excellent rating they received. Shields High School will always be interested in and proud of the achieve- ments of her students. YtLL LbADLRS F. ' jrner, G. Stevens, P. Duwney , M, Duup. axi,leGAe A4i.

Coach John Van Liew ' s favorite motto is Deception is useless without power. Deception is used to make the most of power. Although our football team had an unsuccessful sea- son from the standpoint of games won, we of Shields are indeed proud of the fine spirit and fight the boys showed at all times. Hindered greatly by a loss of twelve letter men through graduation last year and consequently, a lack of experience, the fighjcing Owls won but one game this season. Since the Owls will lose only four men this year, how- ever, we can expect a powerful, efficient, victorious team for the 1946-1947 season. Good luck, fellows, from the Class of ' 46. FOOTBALL SENIORS L. Schrie C. Findley R. Carpenter J. Fox I : Since this was Lynn Schrier ' s first year out for football he lacked the experience necessary for a var- sity member; however, he saw enough action as sub guard and half back to earn his letter. Clarence Findley ' s first football experience was in the spring practice of last year. His weight and height were an asset to him as a football player. He saw enough action in the games this year to earn a letter. Robert Carpenter has been playing football for four years. After serving as sub on the varsity last year, he played half back and end on this year ' s var- sity. He suffered a serious knee injury early in the reason which limited his playing ability. James Fox has been playing football for four years. During his junior year he played quarterback en the Owlet team; this year he played half back and end in the varsity. Jim is very shifty because he is short in stature. y w Tor Ro«— C. H. Enjlchirdt (Cojch). D. Vi ' jgsoncr, H. Lucjs, R. Hyatt, S. Hill. A. Chandler (Manager). Second Row— D. Goddard, « ' . WilUy, H.
