' mmiMmmmimmm A WO OfAOUR FOR EVERyQATf 4y ■ ' • ■ ' ■ . ' ■-■ ' ■ OUR YEAR, 1946-47 y ur school on walnut street is a v- ' nine-months ' center of life away from home for six hundred and two of us who come by bus and bike, foot and ford each morning at eight- thirty, in the twenty-seven rooms of shields senior high school build- ing and the gymnasiums our educa- tion for everyday living explores every field of human activity and gives us practical experience in many OF THEM. THE PROGRAMS OF THE EXTRA- CURRICULAR ORGANIZATIONS INCREASE OUR KNOWLEDGE AND ENJOYMENT. TO PRESERVE THE FACTS, FACES, AND FULL- NESS OF OUR YEAR, VE, THE SENIORS OF 1947, PUBLISH THIS RECORD. n IjIIj f_ T Lrii fiTrini_tx FROM FRESHMEN TO SENIORS We are Seniors — According to the number of years spent in Shields High School, we are old enough to reminisce. We are Freshmen — We are eager, anxious freshmen, eager for all the new experiences in our reach. We gaze at the seniors with admiration and awe. We are Sophomores — We have moved up a step. Each one of us has found his place in the classes and in the extra-curricular activities. We have made friendships which will sure- ly live through the years. The seniors are not nearly so awe-inspiring noiw. We are Juniors — We are no longer termed under-classmen, but Juniors. With the class or- ganized, our dignity is great. We feel that through the years we have learned much wisdom as well as knowledge. The seniors are now our intimate friends, and we are planning to give them the best Junior-Senior Reception ever given. We are Seniors — The years have passed with unbelievable speed. We are enjoying our Senior Class activities very much, but we are not quite so cock-sure of our perfection as we were last year. As we sit here, reminiscing, we realize that we shall often, nostalgically, look back on the years in Shields High School with gratitude to all ■who made those years such pleasant memories. What better or greater gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth. Cicero In the best books great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours. Chaniihig. If a man ' s wits be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away ever so little, he must begin again. Johuson. The mission of art is to represent nature; not to imi- tate her. W. M. Huni In every practice period of typing, one forges the chain of habits that m.ike for suc- cess or failure. Honorable industry always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty; and progress is altogether impos- sible without it. Smiles.

Graduate work at Indiana University University of Colorado Butler University, M.A. Rose Fisher Secretary to the Principal To the Seniors of the Class of 1947, I wish to express my sincere congratulations for having completed the beginning of your training and preparation for your future life. I admire your courage, your ideals, and your excellent qualities of character and conduct. Your Class is outstanding in its fine spirit of co-operation, leadership, sportsman- ship, and scholastic achievement. The results of your worthy accomplishments have es- tablished a fine precedent for future classes to follow, and your faithful and loyal service to Shields High School is indeed most complimentary. As you leave Shields High School, the duties and obligations of active citizenship begin, and I urge that you assume these obligations with that same determination and willing spirit with which you have responded for the past four years. May your highest and noblest ambitions be achieved, and may you always be mindful that a good character, a willingness to work, and a devout faith in God and Country is the only road to real happiness and lasting success.

In the halls groups of students mingle together as one unit, presenting a friendly and pleasant atmosphere to visitors. The student-teacher relationship is one of co-operation founded on mu- tual respect and interest. Here we lay the foundation for our future success in the adult world. Contact with our classmates has taught us the necessity for good manners and acceptable conduct. Here we gain the poise and confidence needed to cope with the problems we shall face as leaders of tomorrow ' s world. Our schoolmates instill in us the spirit of fun and fellowship. We grow in character; our personalities become well-rounded; the qualities that determine our future success are founded now.

Extra-curricular activities play a major part in the social life of the students. There are various clubs to interest any type of student. Those who like a great deal of activity can take part in the athletic games and those who merely like to be boisterous can find an outlet for their energy by cheering their classmates to victory. Musically inclined students take an active interest in the band and choir, while foreign language clubs learn the customs of the country of their language. Field trips in the interest of the agriculture and industrial arts courses add knowledge and pleasure in those areas. Those who are interested in helping others, abroad as well as at home, find that the service clubs meet their needs. The school publications are another medium through which many students can express their interest. These clubs help build personalities and leadership and teach individ- ual responsibility to each other and to their groups. At the same time the students enjoy themselves. The planning and working together in the activities develop a better understanding and a good school spirit among the students.

It func- tions only half the year because of the pressure of other extra-curric- ular work. Its activities are varied. Programs include popular music of Spain and South America, reports on various phases of Spanish- American life, and games based on numbers and vocabulary. Among the most popular presentations are technicolor travel movies with famous Hollywood stars as narrators sponsored by the Mexican Government. The Club ' s Christmas party, a gala affair, has become one of the traditional customs of the school. A picture of students break- ing the pinata, always a feature of the celebration, was published in the Scholastic Roto magazine for March. Top Ro (— R. Browning. R. Ahlbrand, D. Willman, C. Smith, H.

This year it includes 179 members. Willingness to assume one ' s share of responsibility in making the club a success and the attempt to live to the fullest of one ' s capacity are the only qualifications necessary to become a Y-Teen. In such a large organization the greatest responsibility will fall on the shoulders of a few, but the Y-Teen Club aims to develop in each girl a sense of re- sponsibility and forward-looking spirit which will help her de- velop her potentialities. Thirty members were initiated Into the Y-Teen at a candle- light ceremony held October 11, 1946, in the high school cafe- teria. A committee composed of D. Day, E. Tormoehlen, A. Judd, J. Quade, B. Alhbrand, S. Wieder, and L. Stark conducted the initiation ceremony. z: JUNIOR - SENIOR Y-TEENS Top Rovi— R. Hc!t, B. Ruddick. D. Kelley. C. Sargeant, A. Dustin, N. Davidson, D. Van Voorhies, D.

Through its many organiza- tions — the Band, the Choir, and the various vocal and instrumental ensembles — many 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 stabilizing effect of music over the nation ' s cities and individuals 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. The Shields Band placed eighteen firsts out of twenty- three soloists and ensembles at Bloomington. Standing — R. Prucss, Mr. Rigsbee (Director), J. Reinbold, R. Hunt, T. Fettig, J. Kutch.

CUCIK The members of musical organizations have endeavored through music to sell 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. In April the choir attended a Choral Festival. Last fall they sang before the Teachers Association at Indianapolis. The choir was received with enthusiasm at each of its appearances. This year the Choir went to Tennessee for its annual tour. It presented programs at the East and West High Schools and Peabody College in Nashville, and at the First Baptist Church in Knoxville. Music is truly the universal language, for regardless of race, color, creed, or language, it can be understood by all people. Top Row— J. Sharer, C. Sargeant, S. Drocgc, C. Kcach, S. White, M.

The Society has always taken an active part in raising standards in its field and in directing the course of high school journalism. More recently Quill and Scroll Corporation was formed for the purpose of administering the business affairs of the Society and ad- ministering Quill and Scroll Foundation. : Back Row — C.

Through a cooperative plan with busi- ness men, members work part time in downtown offices or per- form special work in the classroom, thus gaining practical exper- ience. The Commercial Club was represented at the County Commercial Contest at Brownstown by Dolores Brewer, Wilma Bohall, Imogene Chafin, Dorothy Motsinger, Dorothy Toenjes, Dorothy Young, Marietta Koop, Jeanne Blair, and Regina Taskey. This contest was held to determine which Commercial student possesses the greatest amount of speed in typing, transcription, and bookkeeping. Wilma Bohall placed second in beginning shorthand, Dorothy Toenjes was second in first year typing, Jeanne Blair second in second year typ- ing, and Marietta Koop second in bookkeeping. Audetioi We are justly proud of our school teams, and the honors which they have won for Shields High. In every sport they have brought glory to the school, and their defeats have been far overshadowed by their victories. All this could be accomplished only by hard work, cooperation, and respect for each other, their coach, and the school. In truth, we glory not so much in their actual accomplishments in winning games, but in the spirit with which they have taken their victor- ies and their losses. In all the athletic activities the moral support of the cheering section adds greatly to the success and enthusiasm of the games. rCOTBALL Coach John VanLiew ' s boys started their season by defeating the strong New Castle team by the convincing score of 20-6. The Seymour Owls avenged their last year ' s score with Columbus by defeating the Bulldogs 14-13. The Owls won their second Conference game with Rushville 26-6. Then history repeated itself as the New Albany Bulldogs defeated the Owls 27-20. Most fans agreed that the game of the year was the one with Frank- lin who tied with the Owls for first place in the South Central Conference. The Owls lost the hard fought con- test by a narrow margin of 14-12. Then the Owls snap- ped back to chalk up another Conference victory to put them back in the running by defeating the Shelbyville Golden Bears. The victory placed the Owls second place in the Conference. John VanLiew has developed another top team. This is Van ' s four th year coaching the Seymour Owls, and out of those four years he has produced one Conference winner and two second places, which is a good record for any Coach. Van has also a nice record for defeating our rivals, Columbus. This record consists of three out of four games. The Class of 1947 wishes Van the best of luck next year. Top Ro ' — p. Vclisljgc, I.

Stti D. Waggoner, G. Osborn, M. Schroer, R. Storey.A. Greene, R. Peters. John was Captain and pas- ser, his fight and courage played a major role in the team ' s successes. He will be sorely missed. John Williams Robert Schleter was sub on the varsity during his junior year, but in his senior year he made the varsity. Bob ' s position was half-back. Bob did very well even though he was out for such a short time. Robert Foster served as a sub during his junior and senior years but started at halfback position in many of the games. Bob also played with the second team against Bloomington. Robert Kriete carried the burden of halfback well, since this was his first year out. Bob played his best game with Columbus. Harry Montel had a little tough luck for his first year. He saw very little action because of a serious ankle injury. Joe Mellencamp has played football for three years. He served on the varsity for two years. Joe handled his fullback position well, making many outstanding runs during the year. (No Picture) Bob Crawford was halfback on the varsity during his junior year but because of an injury he played only half of the season during his senior year. Although his football career was short, he still did a good job. Don Mick Waggoner, playing right end for two years on the varsity, put a big dent in the plays that came around his end. Mick was also a good pass receiver. George Osborn, a three letterman in football, played tackle. George was a good man to have on the line be- cause of his weight. George played his best game a t Co- lumbus, which was bad for the Columbus boys. Marvin Schroer has been playing football for four years and has seen plenty of action during that time. Marvin ' s position was tackle. George Robert Storey played guard during his fresh- man and sophomore years, then changed to varsity center position for his junior and senior years. Bob deserved credit for doing a good job at center. Because this was Arnold Green ' s first year out for football, he lacked the experience to play varsity ball. For the action he saw, he did well at the end position. Robert Peters handled the other tackle position. Bob played football for two years. Whenever the going got tough Bob always came through with plenty of fight. SENIOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS R. Schleter, R. Foster, R. Kriete, H. Montel, J.Mellencamp J. Wcddlc, M. Doup, J. Bcil, D.

Englehardt turned in one of the best records of Shields High School History by winning eleven out of eighteen starts. In addition to their regular season wins, the Owls won the Holiday Tourney at Franklin and beat their arch rival, the Columbus Bulldogs, 39 to 30. The Seymour Owl); were rated high in the State-Polls most of the season. The Owls were also rated to have one of the best defense in southern Indiana. Coach C. H. Shrimp Englehardt did an excellent job of coaching and deserves! plenty of credit for bringing the Owls through a tough season. The Seymour Owls of 1946-1947 will be remembered in the years to come as the fighting team who would not quit until the final gun sounded. OWLETS The Owlets, composed of an entirely new team this year, won 7 out of 17 games. They prepared themselves for next year ' s varsity.

The Owls have three four year men: Don Waggoner, who did a good job on the pitching mound; Melvin Doup, who covered up third base then changed to short- stop his senior year and Harry Montel, who has done a swell job as catcher. The Owls were coached by C. H. Englehardt, an ex-professional player, and assistant coach Robert Purk- hiser. TCAcr Top Row — J. Glasson, F. Sciarra, J. Hill. J. Wienekc. B. Stemler. D. Willman, W.
