As a silent statue in the hall of Shields High School she is to us students a symbol of our happiness and our disappoint- ments in this, our school. U e feel her presence as she sees us coming to school, in our classes, and nith our friends. { In- formats — pages 4-25). She finds us at club meetings. {Activi- ties — pages 26-47) Minerva watches over spores from early football to late baseball and track. {Athletics — 48-61). And most important she sees us, the s ' udents and faculty. {People — pages 62-81) Our advertisers are shoun on pages 82-108. Shields High School Don Lucas specclin Walking Was The Usual, Though Perhaps Before we entered the wide doors of S. H. S. last fall and before Minerva saw us and got a chance to count noses we had the problem of a means of transportation to school. There were several ways to come and most of us had our favorites. Motor scooters were popular with the fellows in S. H. S. and not a day passed that you couldn ' t find a couple of red or blue scoots parked on the north side of the school. Miss Amy Taylor rides in style Through hail and snow the jeep will g.j -with Rog Rebher, Bill Steward and Don Smith Not Favorite, Means Of Coming To School And then there were the lucky ones with cars. Several of us and most of the teachers showed up in anything from an old Model T Ford to a spiffy convertible like Miss Amy Taylor ' s ■ ' Alice . Something different was Bill Steward ' s jesp — always full of pas- sengers. The rest of us? We walked, that ancient means of transportation. We trudged through snow, rain, and some- times sunny weather to the big build- ins on Walnut Street. The amiable Englehardts — Monaei. Mr. C. H., and Dan Pestering Mrs. DepiilN nil IIiImh- Ciiryell are Bud Kasting, Carol Strietelmeier, Millie Stuckwisch. Noah Bowman, Kicliard Merman. Janice Sterling and Bob Pickerrell Main Floor Was Always The Center For Congregatin ' When we went inside, quite a few of us headed for the office. There w?re phone calls to make, schedules to change, and announcements to be put on the Fly or . Some of us who simply couldn ' t remember where we had put our civics or literature book had to check the office lost and found de- partment. G. A. A. prexy, Emilyann Heckman, types out some rules and regulations for basketball Mrs. Jane Waldkoetter s office was practically never empty. Absence permits and guidance prob- lems brought girls to this little office by the scores. Sometimes, we went ' just to talk or to catch up on a lagging typing assignment. The same situation existed in Mr. Victor Everdon ' s office except that here the fellows were the ones concerned. At noon there was always someone selling some- thing at the showcase. Owls , G. A. A. candy, and votes for the Christmas Belle were some of the items calling for high-pressure salesmanship. When junior class rings or senior pictures were exhibited in the case, there was such a crowd. The bell at the end of each class period brought us pouring from Study Hall; and then, of course, another group of us poured back into the big room. We sometimes had difficulty concentrating on our lessons, but once in awhile we were able to study in peace and quiet.

Pretty often we all managed to drag ourselves to the bookstore where Mrs. Alice Walters held open houss the first few weeks of school.

We dreaded the wail, especially on rainy days, but the good food made up for everything. Mrs. Louella McBride and her staff of cooks did everything possible to provide us with well-bahtnced meals. Somehow we managed to leave the basement and its various attractions such as the visual aids room and the odorous chem lab to go up- stairs to the third floor. There we might find Dep and his boys hold- ing conference or the clackety-clack of the type- writers in 313. Between periods the third floor teachers would always be where some of us stu- dents wanted to talk. Sooner or later we would hear Mr. Dittmer ' s Move on gals-move on fellows. Good morning, this is your sludenl news reporter — Barbara Fill, Morton Prime, Shirley Coins, Sally Birge, and Carl Quinn In Classes We Found That Subjects Were Educational, Classes, however, took care of most of our time. Speech was a practical subject and fun, too. The Sat- urday morning broadcasts made us pretty familiar with the radio station, WJCD. And our plays! — we had such fun making comedians or villains out of our classmates. lr. Marvin Dyer liancis back bookkeeping work sheets Exasperating And Entertaining English soon impressed upon us how very definitely il was a foundation subject. Some of us thought we ' d never learn to tliagram a s.mtence or tell the difference between an adjective or an adverb. We tried to learn to be efficient accountants in book- keeping class; but sometimes, no matter how hard we tried, our books just wouldn ' t balance. Of course we knew that these books were only fiction . Yet we ab- sorbed all the knowledge possible and hoped that when the time came to us in actual bookkeeping jobs, the figures would do what they were supposed to do.

Mr. Robert Bell assists Murella Purlee and Harlan Bergsieker and Jim Bova work by themselves. Practical, Useful Courses Were Offered Thai physics is definitely a subject for mechanical minds was impressed upon us early in the year. Mr. Robert Bell ' s patience help?d even the most unmechanical to learn about weights and balances, electric hook-ups, and expansion and contraction of metals. Home nursing was a subject that girls could master just as physics is usually the boys sub- ject. Among other things we learned that the nurs3 should be calm, cool, collected, and cheerful. The advanced art classes worked long and hard on the big project of the year, the annual Christmas simulated stained glass windows. Incidently, the new glass block windows in the art room helped to provide a much better light for our S. H. S. artists. Algebra class, where we first learned the principles which aided us in advanced math- ematical classes, was popular with the fresh- men. We had a new teacher, also — Mr. Henry Tropp. Down in the Ag room there were quite a few busy fellows learning the newest and best farming methods. Their field trips, experi- ments, and work-outs on the school farm proved practical and profitable. stu(l ill e |jies iciiis during tiKly pciiuil Differences In Classes Kept Us Well Occupied Spanish was taught again after a year ' s absence from the S. H. S. academic schedule. Miss Elizabeth Feaster ' s first-hand stories and experiences in France and Spain made an interesting subject even more interesting. Civics, world history, and U. S. history were three subjects in which we found that the textbooks weren ' t always up to date. Consequently, we spent much time pouring over maps, reading daily newspapers and listen- ing to the radio. Future historians learn the ge.igraphical facts of U. S. hisloiy in Mr. Theodore Hitch ' s class. Our excess energy found an outlet in the physical education classes. The girls enjoyed softball, tumbling, basketball, and volleyball in the old gym while the boys were working out in basketball, calisthenics, wrestling, and baseball down at the new gym. Once in awhile, how- ever, we all got together for folk and social dancing; and we had our once-a-year volleyball game. Convos Added Variety And Spice Whenever lie tiul his lu h up Hobson.

When tlie choir presented Clancy Lowered the Boom with soloists dressed for the part, we roared with laughter. ■ Tom. the Won- der Boy and the Brittons presented their magic shows and astonished everyone with their quicker-than-the-eye trickery. Tlie Holland Company, a good-will trio from Rotterdam, fascinated us with their singing, wooden shoe dancing, and amusing antics. Then there were student-sponsored convocations such as the speech class presentation, the Y-Teen Easter convo, the band program, and others in which some of us participated. Take anv card ' - so RuIjv Ames does. To Our Busy School Life Our 1950-1951 program included many significent topics that were serious in nature.

While Out Of School We Liked All Sorts Of Recreation The big snow found Maxine Williams ready for a sure ' nuff fight. When we were planning out of school good times, we al- ways thought of weiner roasts and hayrides. And during the winter there was plenty of opportunity for sledding and ice skating. School affairs provided many good times. Other fun fasts were the class plays. After weeks of prac- tice, stage and prop work, ticket-selling and everything else involved in a play production, the big night finally arrived. To add to the general atmosphere of glamour and excitement were the ushers dressed in their very pretty formals. After the basketball and foo tball games, we all rushed over to the gym for the dance. These informal dances were a lot of fun, but for a really big time we had the Personality Club Christmas Dance and the Junior-Senior Prom in May. Ushers Mildred Stuckwisch and -Marilyn Kebber greet Mrs. Kenneth arbritton. We Especially Liked Football And Basketball Games One of the familiar sights at the foothall games was the hand lineil up waiting for tlie half-time gun so that they couhi go out and perform. They welcomed any glimpse they could get of the South Central Conference champs in action. Another familiar sight was Mr. Vic- tor Everdon bossing the job of keep- ing enough popcorn hot for all the hungry football fans. The Future Farmers also kept the fans from starving with their hot dogs and hot cocoa or cokes. At the basketball games such hearty fare wasn ' t necessary. The seniors took charge of providing popcorn, candy, and soft drinks to the crowds of basketball enthusiasts. Barbara Allen pleads for some popcorn from Stanley Hall. Ronald Strietelmeier takes his driving seriously bin Mr. very Ditlmer, Judy James, and Katie Boling look noiichalanl. Spring Air And An Opportunity To Talk Outside Minerva could catch a glimpse of Mr. J. Avery Dittmer patiently teaching his driving students to flat park. Or perhaps she saw the couples who paused at the water fountain to check on tonight ' s date! Some of us stopped for a drink of water, too. Then there were those of us who gathered on the front steps in the morning and at noon Gentleman Bill Sciarra assists Margaret Sut- ton while Don Eddy makes a date with Mary Hart. A rumor is afloat as Bill Findley. Jim Hudson. Ken Parr. Susan Richardson and Louie Snyder get their heads together. Tempted Us Outside for a gab session. The things we said — we dis- cussed everything from the atomic bomb to what questions were on the economics test. It was a novelty to stop at the sun dial, the class of 1950 ' s gift to SHS, and discuss the time of day. The dial was an excellent outside meeting place just as Minerva was a congre- gating point within. Gayle Davenport and Rachel Browning examine the gift from the 1950 class. By the time Spring came and the coeds of S. H. S. were sporting their new cottons, Minerva had received a new look . too. Tlien we knew that it was nearly time lor the seniors to depart. But we didn ' t quite realize that the year was gone until the last exami- nation was taken and the last school lius pulled out. Il s Spring and Elvin Stevens helps Judy Sargeant give Minerva her annual face lifting. Closing Days Of School Were Particularly Full Of Activity Students left for summer vacations with mixed emotions. For some it meant the successful completion of their high school work, for others it was only th? beginning of their careers under Minerva ' s watchful eyes. 1 ur sclloni anil til.

Student Council Stressed Good Government Our student governing body was composed of twelve students elected to these posts by their classmates. Th Student Council, as it is known, worked throughout the year on various problems referred to it by our principal, Mr. DeWitte Ogan. Also, the Council investigated and acted upon sugg3Stions made by the faculty and students. Other activities of the Council were the sub-district con- vention at Bedford and the state convention at Lafayette. In- diana. The Council also sponsored the dance after the Seymour- Connersville basketball game. Officers of the 1950-51 Council were: Judy Sargeant, presi- dent; Jim Ahlhrand. vice-president; and Janice Linke, secre- tary-treasurer. Mr. Robert Bell was faculty adviser. Patrol Boys Helped Make Safety Sure Any high school boy who is interested in the welfare of his fellow students may qualify for the Student Patrol whieh super- vises the traffic about the school grounds. The boys are on duty at noon and after school at all the corners and cross walks of the campus and they also regulate traffic at the bicycle racks. As a reward for their service. Patrol boys are presented with complimentary tickets to school functions. STANDING: Mr. Joe Cili SEATED: LEFT TO RIGHT: Joe Sclirink. Ralph Wisclimeier.

Owl Reporters Tried For ' Neaf Newspaper Twice a month several busy people could be found scurrying in and out of room 317 in the apparently never-ending job of attempting to bring the news ot SHS to its students. The 1950-1951 Owl consisting of 14 issues was put to press with the combined aid of thirty-five staff mem- bers and editor Mary Jeanette Fenton. In addition to their journalistic duties the Owl staff acted as co-sponsor of the Owl-Patriot Variety Show, sponsored the sectional dances, and managed the elec- tion of the 1951 Sectional Queen, who was Miss Ruth Mae Rotert of Freetown. Already a member of Quill and Scroll, the Owl also became a member of the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association. Mrs. Margaret Ann Evans was the adviser.

Worthy Workers In Journalism Became Quill And Scroll Members Honoring the two outstanding students in the field of journalism at Shields was the big project of Quill and Scroll. Since Quill and Scroll is an international honor society for high school journalists, Owl and Patriot workers strived to achieve member- ship in the organization. Eight initiates were taken into the chapter at the formal initiation in April. They were: Edith Krummc, Carl Quinn. Murella Purlee, Susan Richardson, Roger Rebber, Phyllis Strietelmeier, Herchanna Ruddick, and Richard Birge. Officers included Janice Linke, president, and Mary Jeanette Fenton, secretary-treasurer for semester I; and Sally Birge, president, and Don Smith, secretary-treasurer for semester II. Mrs. Magaret Ann Evans was sponsor. Rosemary Kent ( Mary Jeanette Fenton) and Tom Garrick (Don Smith) provided the main ro- mantic theme in the three-act comedy, Don ' t Darken My Door , presented by the senior class. A secondary plot involved Jane Perkins (Susie Peters), a writer of romances, and Rose- marvs cruel uncle, Roger Kent ( Dick Birge) . It was through their efforts that Tom won the love-struck Rosemary. The sc: nes in which the Feath- erstone sisters (Barbara Fill and Susan Richardson) appeared brought out the lighter side of the play. Rosemary ' s maid, Poppy (Judy Sargeant), and her de- voted swain. Alec Stubbins (Dick Browning), also gave the audi- ence many good laughs. Mr. Kenneth Warbritton was the director of the play and Rachel Browning and Beth Ann Ogan were student directors. I ' m not her secretan ' at all. Alec, put ine down!

Christian Character Was Shown In Y-Teens Members of the Senior and Junior Y-Teens gave of their time to pro- mote service and religion in Shields High School and the community. This year the clubs gave Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to the needy people of Seymour, sponsored prayer services during National Prayer Week, and presented the Easter convocation. Tlie clubs were in charge of the Junior Red Cross in S. H. S. and assisted the Seymour Business and Professional Women in the National Heart Foundation Drive. On the social side both clubs honored their mothers with a banquet in the early Spring. Officers of the senior club were: Shirley Coins, president ; Marianne Chandler, vice-president; Marilyn Hudson, secretary; Rosemary Spray, treasurer; and Janice Linke, chaplain. Officers of the junior club were: Janet Mattox, president; Carol Strietelmeier, vice-president; Shirley Kiel, secretary; Irene Nichalson, treasurer; and Marilyn Angle, chaplain.

Friendship Club president Ke Kasting listen to Spanish records. and Mary The Friendship Club was a newly-organized group of students of both French and Spanish. Meeting time of the Club was spent in interest- ing programs in which discussions of French and Spanish customs were featured. The breaking of the pinata, an old Mexican custom, was the main attraction of the Club ' s annual Christmas party. A spring picnic was also an occasion much enjoyed by Club mem- bers. A definite asset to the Club was the sponsor, Miss Elizabeth Feaster, who added variety and interest with her stories of her experi- ences as an exchange teacher in Tarbes, France.

H. S., and begin a fund to buy an electric score board for Emerson Field. These varied activities were accomplished by boys of Shields High School who had won at least one letter in some sport. Roger Rebber served as president of the lettermen and Jack Norris, Harlan Bergsieker, and Ronald Duwe were elected to the offices of vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. Mr. Joe Gili is faculty adviser. Buy a program ' shouts Jack Emley. Hi-Y, the brother organization to the Y- Teens, was little, but mighty .

Football Team Won Conference Championship Seymour ' s Owls became the champions of the South Central Conference for 1951 as they ran roughshod over their confer- ence opponents. Connersville opened against the Owls in their first home game and the Owl eleven tallied three times as they triumphed by a score of 18-0. Lawrenceburg ' s Tigers edged the Owls, 7-6 as a result of a fumble in the third quarter of the game. Jackie Green broke his ankle in this game as he was on his way to a 70 yard touchdown run. The Owls lost to the Bulldogs from Columbus in their next game as the Bulldogs caught a Seymour backfield man in his own end zone in the second quarter. Roger Rebber skirted his own end as he waltzed some 70 yards to a touchdown and a victory over the hard fighting Rush- ville eleven. Big Don Hill led th: North Vernon Panthers to a 13-6 victory over the Owls. In the early stages of the game the Owls began to fumble and the Panthers took advantage of these errors to cop the game. Bob Hill makes another gain Rebljer is away for a T. D. Washington ' s Hatchets connected on a last-sec- ond pass in the end zone to rack up a 7-0 victory over the Owls at Emerson Field, October 6. Franklin ' s Grizzly Bears were outplayed all the way as the Owls edged by them by a score of 19-13. Rollie Nichalson caught two passes to lead the Owls to victory. Coach Gili ' s aggregation bulled their way over the tough Shelbyville eleven at Shelbyville. Jack Norris was a standout on defense as he batted down passes and was all over the field making spectacu- lar plays. Martinsville ' s Artesians proved to be no match for the powerful Owls as they fell before the Owl machine by a score of 20-0. Rollie Nichalson again proved to be the deciding factor as he made sensa- tional catches of passes in the end zone. ROW ONE; LEFT TO RIGHT: Jack Norris, Jack Emley, Bob Hill and Dick Plumer. ROW TWO: Noah B wman, Roger Rebber, Rollie Nichalson. and Harlan Hergsitker. The Owls wound up their season playing the Broncos from West Lafayette on a mud-soaked and wind-swept field. The Owls were bothered by fumble-itis in the first few minutes of the ball game; and the Broncos capitalized on these fumbles to score and finally came out on top by a score of 19-7. Rollie Nichalson, Jack Norris, Bill Findley, John Kellam, Jack Emley, and Roger Rebber re- ceived honors by being voted to the South Central Conference all-conference teams.

It ' s about my ex- perience in the retailing field. Believe me. Varie+v Store business is fast-moving and interesting. Each countpr is a store in itself. Here at Murphy ' s one learns retailing from the bottom up! 1 started out as an extra salesgirl, working every day after school. When I was graduated, I was fortunate to be placed in charge of a counter. 1 never knew how really interesting this work could be . . . it ' s just like having a shop of my own. I ' m growing here, taking more responsibility as I go. There ' s still more room for advancement ... I can work myself into a position of merchandise buyer, section supervisor or bookkeeper in the office Soon I hope to be selected to train for the job of Personnel Directress in a large new Murphy Store. All of us at Murphy ' s have an equal chance to better ourselves. From what I can see Murphy ' s is tops in training . . . and there isn ' t a store in town to beat Murphy ' s on Employee benefits! If you ' re ambitious to make a go of retailing, join the Gang at Murphy ' s soon as you can. G. C.
