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. FOR MORE DETAILS SEE PACE 41 Page Nine

Fl LE FIVE-ATHLETICS To preserve health is a moral and religious duty, for health is the basis of alt social virtues. 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.
