Page Two -Franklin FILE ONE- LOCALE Shields High School is located in Seymour, Indiana. Seymour is in the very heart of transportation facilities to various parts of the United States. It is on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road and the Pennsylvania Railroad. A branch of the Chicago, Milwau- kee, and St. Paul Railroad also serves Seymour. Of the three bus lines serving the town, one is on a coast to coast schedule. U. S. Highway 50 passes through the town and meets U. S. Higway 31 three miles east of town. Since 1873, seniors have been leaving the doors of Shields High School located on Walnut Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets. When the first building was e- rected, it was surrounded by trees and bordered on the west by a great pond. Now the town has enlarged to such an extent that the high school building is almost centrally located. Students come to the building as freshmen, or they may enter the adjoining building as junior high school students. To the senior who has spent four years in the class rooms, corridprs, and gym- nasiums of Shields High School, the building has become a very familiar place — a second home. The periods of study and the many, happy gay times spent there endear the build- ing to all students. The pleasant memories of all wh o have attended will forever be a glorification to Shields High School.

Dawson Page Four FILE TWO-EDUCATION Education in its widest sense includes everything that exerts a formative influence, and causes a young person to be, at a given point, what he is. — Mark Hopkins The Shields Creed I believe in Shields Hig,h School as an instution founded by the people of this community to produce good citizens by teaching them the principles of conduct and the fundamental knowledge which will be essential for success in life. As times have changed since the organizing of Shields High School in 1870, the school has also changed; but it has constantly sought to give students education of the highest quality. It believes that the highest service it can render is to help students lay a solid foundation for life; consequently Shields High School emphasizes personal growth, development of a student ' s special talents and skill, and independence of thought. Shields High School prides it- self on the different courses of- fered to meet the desires and needs of each student: Academic, Com- mercial, General, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, and Vocational Ag- riculture. In order to graduate from Shields High School, the student must have thirty-two credits, in- cluding two majors and two minors. A major is three years or more of work in one field, and a minor is two years of work in another chosen field. This well planned educational program makes Shields High School very outstanding. The school meets the requirements of the North Cen- tral Association for a fully a- ccredited school. FOR MORE DETAILS SEE PAGE 13 Page Fi. Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent the tree is inclined. Page Six -?ope FILE THREE-PEOPLE Shields High School is made up of a variety of people. The stud- dents, administrators, faculty, se- cretaries, and custodians all are the lifeblood of our school. The stu- dents make up the largest part of the group; and classes, activities, and interests revolve around this huge mass of vitality. The people of the school vary as they do in any other group. The interests of the students differ from football to academic subjects, from music to agriculture. The grades range from those made by highly ambitious students to those made by students who are not quite so ambitious. The six courses given by the school provide for the variety of in- trests of the students, which in- clude a general high school educa- tion, preparation for higher educa- tion, office or clerical work, home making, agriculture, and industrial arts. If electives are carefully se- lected on any course, one may meet college entrance requirements. The administration and faculty of the school are well prepared for their positions. Twelve of them hold A. M. degrees in their chosen fields, and others are studying for higher degrees. It is the variety of people that makes up the world, and we are proud to have a variety of people making up Shields High School.

Whipple Page Eight Fl LE FOUR-ACTI VITI ES In what extra-curricular ac- tivity should I participate? says many a new student when enter- ing Shields High School. He soon discovers that there are many ac- tivities covering a variety of in- terests, and he is welcome to be- come an active member in any he chooses. The extra-curricular activities provide an opportunity to pursue special interests to a degree not af- forded by regular class-room work. Leadership and co-operative and helpful citizenship are developed in this phase of school life. There are the Cirls Athletic As- sociation and the Lettermen ' s Club for athletics, the Y-Teens and Hi-Y for service clubs and for developing character, Latin and Spanish Clubs for entertainment and use of the language along with studies, the Band and Choir for music, and the Future Farmers of America for farming, the Industrial Arts Club for those interested in all phases of shop. The Owl Staff and Patroit Staff supply plenty of work for those interested in publications. The student convocation pro- grams and the class plays provide an opportunity for special talents. The many after-game dances meet a social need for many. The Junior- Senior Prom climaxes the social ac- tivities of the year.

We can no longer be useful when not well. — Johnson Yea team! Let ' s go! This cry is heard throughout the year in both the boys ' and girls ' gymnasi- ums. Physical education classes offer a program of competitive sports that develop good sports- manship and co-operation within the class. This athletic program is so varied that it covers all the major sports during the school year. Great interest is exhibited by the student body in the intramural games. Athletic competition with other schools is keen in Shields High School in the four major sports: football, basketball, track, and baseball. The students are al- ways proud of their Owls and sup- port them with an excellent cheer- ing section. Whether winning or losing, good sportsmanship is the outstanding trait of Shields High School in athletics. Six home games in baseball and six games away from home were scheduled this spring. The track team had four track meets at home and two away from home before the Conference meet at Rushville. The golf team held two meets with Columbus and two with Bedford. The student body appreciates the excellent leadership of the Yell leaders, who have given unselfishly of their time and energy to lead the student body in its support of the teams.

COLOHftcniLARG£PERCE TAGE i _OfWORDS0FLATI.VA.VDGREEK I N t rat ENGLISH LANGUAGE r % A classical education gives to a man a culture and refinement of thought which can hardly be acquired in any other way. The world needs that culture and re- finement. It cannot afford to leave undeveloped the mental qualities which have been the principal agencies in the advancement of civilization. Page Fourteen Books are the food of youth, the delight of old age; the ornament of pros- perity, the refuge and comfort of adversity; a delight at home, and no hindrance abroad; companions by night, in traveling, in the country. — CICERO English through it various phases is not only a subject that requires thinking, but it also stimulates thinking. One should find enjoyment in English — enjoy- ment that comes from ability to speak and write correctly, and enjoyment from studying the time-tested classics as well as choice contemporary selections. Page Fifteen God gave the seed- The bread we need, Man ' s labor must provide it. —CHARLES SAUGSTER Agriculture is the backbone of the nation. It is the agriculturist ' s job to preserve the farms ivhich produce food for our people and for others ivho need food. The War Assets Administration recently gave to Shields High School ap- proximately 226 acres of Freeman Field to be used for experinmental farming by the Futttre Farmers, and also for other educational purposes. Page Sixteen The problem of safety is closely linked with health, thrift, and many other elements which taken together make up the great problem of developing a finer citizenship. — United States Department of Commerce Driver training was offered as a regular course during the second semester this year. Twenty-four interested students are learning that this course shows how the human element affects driving and how to adjust for this deficiency. It teaches the rights and responsibilities of pedestrains, traffic laws, and, most important, it teaches step by step the procedure required for expert driving.

The Shields Owl, now in its ninth year of publication, is pub- lished bi-weekly. It is a member of the Indiana High School Press Association, The National Scholastic Press Association, and Quill and Scroll. Last May at the annual Journalism Field Day at Butler Univer- sity, the Shields Owl ranked first among papers from all Indiana schools of this size. In August the Indiana University Department of Journalism awarded it second place in a class which included larger schools. In September the Shields Owl received a first place award from N. S. P.

Mr. Lewis Future Farmers of America is an organization of farm boys studying agriculture. To belong to this club a vocational agricultural student must keep production re- cords of a farm project that he has on his farm. The advanced degrees are earned by advancement in scope and size of projects, amount of money earned, leadership, activities, and scholarship. The motto — -Doing to Learn, Learning to Do — is prac- ticed in all F. F. A. activities and agricultural work. Some activities of the past school year include operating tractor and baler for custom baling, selling garden seeds, taking part in tomato and corn projects, enter- ing contests, participating in district public speaking and essay contests, having con- cessions at sectional tourney, setting out trees for reforestation, and taking field trips and tours.

INDUSTRIAL AI TS President Leonard Korte Vice-President Donald Wehmiller Secretary James Helmbrecht Treasurer Clayton Nichalson Sergeant at arms Richard Pfaffenberger Reporters . . Herbert Kleinmeyer John Zaring Sponsor Mr. Gili The importance of the Industrial Arts Training for boys is particularly great. Sociologists recognize the fact that a boy who has acquired skill in the use of his hands develops greater co-ordination of mind and body, and has a better balanced personality. There is something about being able to operate machines and build things which instills the pride of accomplishment in the mind of a boy, and gives him a 2est for life which is otherwise lacking. The Industrial Arts Course in Shields High School requires four years of In- dustrial Arts and one year of mechanical drawing. The Industrial Arts Club was organized four years ago and is composed of forty-three members this year. The members have made field trips to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Shops at Washington, Indiana, the Seymour Tool and Engineer- ing Plant, and the National Veneer Factory of Seymour.

Some phases of the hves of our neighbors seem picturesque and others common place; some parallel our own experiences, and others are totally different. In every case, greater understanding brings greater appreciation, sympathy, and friendliness. Thus the Tertulia Espanola becomes an unassuming but genuine factor in hemi- spheric solidarity.

Grace Anderson Motto: Vincit qui se vincit He conquers, who conquers himself The Latin Club which meets regularly the first and third Thursdays of the month is an organization of students who are enrolled in the Latin classes. Pro- grams are planned and presented by the students under the guidance of the sponsor. Many of the programs are based upon Roman anniversaries and special occasions which were the forerunners of many of our anniversaries and holidays. Latin songs and games which are based on Roman ideas are learned. The Club aims to develop leadership and responsibility and to encourage originality on the part of the stu- dent. Through an active participation in club programs students learn that from the beginning of time down to the present day the fundamental instincts and problems have remained the same and that the solutions of problems in classical times are the basis of the solution of problems today. In short, the Latin Club vivifies the Roman characteristics of uuctorhas, libertas, and Veritas. Top Row:— B. Acton, D. Smith, D. Downing, J. Kunz, J. Emley, G. Pottschmidt, J. Johnson, W. Able, K.

Willingness to assume one ' s share of respon- sibility 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 few, but the Y-Teen Club aims to develop in each girl a sense of responsibility and forward- looking spirit which will help her develop her potentialities.

Through its many organizations, the Band, the Choir, and the various vocal and in- strumental ensembles, many students have found a method of expression not open to them in other fields. Music of the Old Masters , the modern contemporaries, and the ultra modern has found its way into 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 presents regular concerts, plays at all athletic events, and serves the community and school whenever it is needed. Its members participate in the solo and ensemble contests and have been successful winning many honors for Shields High School. For the past five years, the Band has placed in first division in the State Band Contest. Carolyn Keach, Do Page Fifty-Two Flutes: Dorena Van Voorhit aid Woolls, Joyce Taylor. Oboe: Cynthia Sargeant.

Through a cooperative plan with business men, members work part time in down town offices or perform special work in the classroom, thus gaining practical experience. During the year, the club had a Valentine party, made a tour of the Seymour National Bank, a Cincinnati department store, the Cincinnati Zoo, and heard talks given by businessmen on their practical experiences.
