OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY. As we found the shelves of our library filled with books that were light and gay and books that were serious and thoughtful, so we found our lives at Shields High School filled with a variety of moods and experiences. - ■ ' ■ ' ' ' i ' i=i S high school life. Always ready to help us was Mrs. Alice Walters, our smiling IN THE YEAR OF 1952 As we neared the end of our high school days we felt a lump in our throats. It was the end of happy days and we knew it. We might come back again, but it would never be the same. There would never be the thrill which we felt as seniors. OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY, but we were leaving a part of them forever in Shields High School.

We often took these books with us from the library into our busy classrooms. Here they became a vital part of our search for truth and knowledge. Budding mathematicians discover the unknown quantity in Mi. Seville ' s algebra class. DIVERSE CLASSES The advanced art classes under the watchful eye of Mr. Hunter- man toiled many hours to prepare the traditional Christmas pictures. Both students and townspeople were again inspired by the nativity scenes on our simulated stained glass windows. Artists went to dizzy heights to catch the Christmas spirit. Were we surprised! The psy- chology classes took personality tests, and what we learned about ourselves was really amazing. ' Tor today, begins Miss Bruner, and a psychology session is under way. PROVIDED A WELL- Although two of oiu senior girls were shut in because of illness, they attended school via the new telephonic system. The little brown box was like a magic carpet bringing them into the midst of our classes. It was no trouble catching Ed Blish ' s dy- namic voice as he held forth in public speaking class. 9B99 ■ i W !Wl-lUtJ - m The big front doors were opened wide to friends and parents when we celebrated National Education Week. Students in all departments spelled Wel- come with artistic posters and other in- teresting projects. Although squeamish at first, sopho- mores became biology-minded, and girls, as well as boys, soon learned to dissect without batting an eye. No chance for a poor frog when Joe Ray and Ann Henderson start cuttin ' up! ■ I IIIIUiUL. TTTHHM Activities were as essential to the success of our school as any of the books we might have read. From the assort- ment of activities which Shields High provided, we each were able to select those which were most enjoyble to us. Participation in organizations gave us an opportunity to gain invaluable social contacts, to add skills to our ac- complishments, and to use the knowledge we had gained in the classroom. WE HAD A VARIED ASSORTMENT St-ven F. F. A. boys were the proud owners of fine pigs. Livestock takes a great deal fjeii- ' -! ' ' i necl ' ,pi 1 obviously the fellows have done a good job. %.. .m !  ?

Si! See the lovely seiioritas on the Spanish balcony. Spanish Club was fun, and members learned much more about the customs and man- ners of Spain through its varied activities. Signals were not confined to the football field. Our patrol boys wheeled out the safety signal each morning, noon, and evening to insure safe crossing at the busy corner of Walnut and Fifth. Patrol Boys— Bob Kendall, Banta, Jim Good ' - ' Ifred ( James at for us. We all looked forward to Tues- day morning and our weekly con- vocation. During the first weeks of school we found on our pro- grams Raymond Struck, Hanover football coach, and William Willet, who had recently returned from India. DePauw University ' s Collegians presented a program of popular songs, and later Don Bechtold gave an interesting archery demonstra- tion. We heard also two figures of national fame: Dr. George Crane, psychiatrist, and Rubinoff with hii famous Stradivarius violin. It ' s a wonder Mr. Sheets didn ' t turn gray, helping us to meet the printer ' s deadline on the Patriot. SPARE TIME OUT OF CLASS The convo schedule would never have been quite complete for us without the numerous student programs. They often proved that home talent is the best talent. The speech class rolled ' em in the aisles when they presented their play, NO MORE BOYS. 10 Second only to the cafeteria in popularity at noon was the playground. WAS ALWAYS CROWDED— BUT FUN Kids had their last fling on the play- ground using excess energy in those few minutes before the bell would call them back to class. Our gustatory appetites were prompt- ly satisfied at the games by Stanley Hall and Lowell Bieneke, those super pop- pers, who have become fixtures in the concessions booth. A tantalizing aroma invariably drew as to the popcorn stand. 11 NOT ALL OUR DAY WAS CLAIMED BY TOIL The wise use of leisure time was one of the most important lessons to be learned in high school. Since our tastes and interests varied, we sampled the many forms of rec- reation which Shields High provided. Some of us found a satisfaction in help- ing edit the school publications; some found pleasure in club activities. Others felt the thrill of achievement in athletics. Many could not participate in these forms of rec- reation. There were some to which all of us could give our heartiest support: backing our school and team at pep sessions, learn- ing to dance at all-school dances, and read- ing and browsing in the library. Above all else we treasured the ac- quaintances we had made, which through happy years had deepened into lasting friendships. Lessons learned from our fel- low classmates and teachers will give us greater inspiration and more happy mem- ories than any other part of our school life. Friendships have been made on a kind of bed rock. Nothing can ever part us. With a few minutes to spare, Judith Hennessy turns toward the magazine rack in the library. 12 iflUl.

RECREATION TOOK ITS FAIR SHARE No ball game would be complete without a dance. When we weren ' t cutting the rug, we met our friends and talked over the exciting happenings of the game. The water cooler, parting gift of the class of ' 51, was a welcome addition to S. H. S.; for now we always had cool, clear water to soothe our parched throats. The pause that refreshed. ' 13  Wit W OBB We ' re from Seymour, No one ' s prouder! If you didn ' t hear this crew, you must have been deaf. OUR ENTHUSIASM KNEW NO LIMITS What would a ball game be without a cheering section, and what would a cheering section be with- out practice? Our yell leaders taught us new yells and built up our school spirit during the pep sessions. 14 tmmm aoi IftKtJU-UWU. .IVVilt There was always room for one more in Edith ' s Buick. WHEN WE SHIFTED INTO HIGH We never got over being envious of the elite who drove cars to school. But those kind-hearted kids were always willing to taxi the rest of us less fortu- nate ones. Their cars, ranging from jalopies to Buicks, literally bulged with yakkity , care-free kids. When we saw a crowd of students gathered ' round a desk, we could be pretty sure it was for a conference with Loretta Butt. If she had not an- swered a desperate S. O. S. at the beginning of the second semester, the Patriot Staff might not have met its deadline. Now what will we write about this one? Joyce Ann asks Mrs. Butt. 15 OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY. THE PEOPLE WE KNEW MADE THEM SO! For just as the pages of an open book would have little meaning without words or pictures thereon, so our lives here would have had little meaning without the people in Shields High School — our classmates, our personal friends, and our teachers.

Sc aoi 1R S99tc tAlcf Mrs. Annette Test checked absentee lists regu- larly, and under her careful direction our schools maintained a high average daily attendance. A good school is impossible without a principal who likes people and is concerned with their everyday problems. As seniors we have all heard his cheery, Hi, kids, how ' s everything? We can vouch for Mr. Ogan ' s friendly interest and real concern for his students. In the smooth effeciency of our high school we see the results of his careful planning, of his concern for teacher-pupil problems, and of his sincere desire to promote only those things which contribute to the high educational standards of Shields High School. 18 S!

Of course, the girls had regular office girl jobs which kept them on their toes all the time. Jean ' s in the counting house while Delores checks the mail. Left to right: Mr. Francis Myers, Mrs. Mary L. Osterman, Mr. James Allan Campbell, and Mr. James Hudson. Mr. Campbell, superin- tendent of schools, and the school board spent many hours plan ning the progres- sive educational policies which characterize our school system. The friendly faces of Mrs. Coryell, our Dean of Girls, and Mr. Everdon, our Dean of Boys, were familiar to all of us. Through our years in high school they have always proved helpful and understanding. Our deans take a breather from the many claims on their time. 19 Cora Caddell Commercial Subjects Bowling Green College of Commerce, AB; Graduate Work at Indiana University. Frank D.

We sold magazine subscriptions and our hardest working salesmen were Marilyn Redding and Stanley Hall. The sale of basketball schedule pencils was a financial success as well as a shot in the arm to school spirit. At the games some seniors kept busy selling concessions while still others of us helped at an after the game dance. Stars were born and great talent was discovered when we produced our class play, MEET CORLISS ARCHER. There was never a dull moment for seniors in charge of the Patriot, and before it was completed almost every senior was drafted to run errands, get ads, or type copy. At the end of the first semester everyone held his breath to see if he had made the Senior Honor Roll. Twenty-five of us were listed. Barbara Taulman was at the top with 106 points. As the second semester moved on, various committees were appointed, and they began to work on the Senior Dinner, Class Day, and other final events. We seniors, remembering our high school years as the best years of our lives, looked to the future with high hopes. wmBk tgltaH S JAMES AHLBRAND ( Academic ) Class President 4; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Student Council 3, 4 (Vice-president 3); Patriot Staff 4 (Business Manager); Class Play 3- NANCY LEE ALEXANDER ( General ) Y-Teens 2, 3; Commercial Club 3; Bacca- laureate Usher 3; Class Play Program Com- mittee 3.

Since the Council encourages student participation in school affairs, home room presidents were asked to sit in on council meetings this year. The Council worked on student problems and made recommendations to Mr. Ogan regarding these problems and various school regulations. In January the Council sponsored a dance. In addition to these numerous activities the Council attended the state convention at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Everyone looked forward to the half of each home game when the band put on snappy musical shows. Highlight of the marching season was a trip to an I.U. football game where the Marching Owls participated in a review at the half time. After the football season the Concert Band made up of 71 musicians took the spot- light, while the Marching Owls retired for the winter. Three concerts were presented during the year. Individuals of the band participated in the solo and ensemble contests at Hanover and brought home many honors.

The Beginning Choir is a training group for vocal talent. This choir sang a great amount of choral material for train- ing purposes throughout the year and sang for a school convocation program at the end of the school year. Many of the students were chosen to advance to the Concert Choir for the next season. The Girls ' Ensemble presented many entertaining programs both in and out of town during the school year. The girls traveled to Camp Atterbury to present a program to the hospital patients and later in the year journeyed to Worthington, Indiana to entertain the Worthington Lions Club and their guests.

They presented programs before local service clubs, church organizations, and school convocations. The choir took part in the annual Valley Choral Festival held in Jeffersonville with George F. Krueger as guest conductor. For the second consecutive year, the organization sponsored the Singing Hoosiers from Indiana University, who presented an outstanding program to students and towns- people.

The local chapter of the Future Farmers of America, which is a national or- ganization, completed many noteworthy projects during the year. Perhaps the best known was the work done on the 240 acre school farm at Freeman Field, where the members had a chance to apply methods learned in class. Community activities included the killing of pests on neighboring farms, the selling of garden seed, and the building of concrete hog troughs which were sold to farmers. The F. F. A. attended the district elimination contest in February and the State Convention in April. Also during April the members made a trip to Wash- ington, Indiana, for a judging contest.

Easily the most thrilling event of the year for Commericial Club members was the two day trip to Chicago on the 2nd and 3rd of May. As guests of the Gregg Publishing Company in Chicago, they visited many business offices and enjoyed a sightseeing tour of the city. Activities of the year for the club included the sponsoring of the Valentine Dance at which Patsy Lucas was crowned Sweetheart Queen, and the selling of small statuettes and greeting cards.

Editor-in-chief was Barbara Taulman with Jim Ahlbrand as business manager. During the year the Patriot staff had three advisors. Soon after school began, Mrs. Anne Amos organized the staff and helped prepare the picture schedule. Becuse of ill- ness Mrs. Amos did not return to teach after Christmas so Miss Mary Alice Bruner, senior advisor, and Mrs. Loretta Butt came to the rescue to help with the many details of advertising and copy. Mrs. Anne Amos with the Patriot editors started the ball rolling, Good! We ' ve got another page. The advertising staff brought in the loot. 48 This year ' s Owl Editor, Edith Krumme, and advisors, Mrs. Anne Amos and Mrs. Loretta Butt, supervised the 35 staff members in pubUshing 14 issues of the 1951-52 Owl. The Owl staff sponsored two dances at sectional tour- ney time. Miss Ruth Mae Rotert, Freetown, was elected Sectional Queen at the Saturday night dance and was crowned with ceremony by Denver Hill, who became Sec- tional King by virtue of his position as captain of the victorious team. The Owl Staff provided students of S. H. S. with an up-to-date and well-written account of the activities and events of the school year.

T r f ' 1 The Art Club is a new organization formed during the second semester under the sponsorship of Mr. Charles Hunterman. It is made up of art students who have a genuine interest in the field. Requirements for member- ship are two: at least a B average in art and the completion of one year in the subject. During club meetings the time was used to create layouts for decorative panels showing student life around Shields High School and the community. Two persons combined ideas for each topic, designing an original scene so that it could later be painted. Highlights of the Club ' s activities were field trips which offered first- hand information in different phases of art. Production methods and tech- niques were observed at the Graessle-Mercer Company. On April 25 the club journeyed to Indianapolis where they visited the American Art Clay Company, The Wm. H. Block Display Construction Department, and The Indianapolis Engraving Company. Officers were: Jacquelin Crum, preiident; Sharon Mundy, vice-president; Norma Wilson, secretary; and Nancy Simmons, treasurer. 50 In November the senior class issued a general invitation to Meet Corliss Archer. And Corliss, along with her rollicking high school crew, made the large audience who attended the senior play recall just how happy and gay young hearts can be. Cousin Agnes is horrified at Dexter ' s exclamation, The only way to handle women is to treat them rough. Supporting Maxine Williams, who played the title role, was Sandy Hobson as her ever-faithful boy friend, Dexter. Adding to the humor was Joyce Taylor as the meddling Cousin Agnes. Others in the cast were: Dick Mattox, Mr. Archer; Wilma Neawedde, Mrs. Archer; Alice Yeager, Louise, the Maid; Ber- nardine Nichter, Mildred, Corliss ' best friend; Eddie Williams, Mr. Franklin; Beth Ann Smith, Mrs. Frank- lin; Barbara Vogel, Betty; Dick Patterson, a doctor; and Murella Purlee, a nurse. Much credit for the success of the play goes to Mr. Kenneth Warbritton, who directed it, and to Edith Krumme and Tom Trotter, who assisted him.

H. S. Each club assisted with several worthy projects. The Junior Y-Teens aided the National Heart Foundation with its annual cam- paign. Members of both clubs helped with the March of Dimes and also sponsored the Junior Red Cross. Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets were prepared for needy families in town.

Gifts were dis- tributed at this time by Los Reyes Magos, the three wise men who traditionally deliver gifts to good Spanish children — or switches to the bad ones. Increasing knowledge and appreciation of our neighbor Mexico was the topic of a talk given by Mrs. Christine Rapp. In the spring the club sponsored a convocation at which the Rev. Ernst, missionary to South America, spoke. Members of the Spanish Club can be readily identified by their handsome new silver member- ship pins. The club was encouraged by its sponsor. Miss Elizabeth Feaster, to appreciate and understand Spanish music, games, customs, and habits. Officers were: Ed Williams, president ( first semester ) ; Dan Patrick, president (second semes- ter); Dan Patrick, vice-president (first semester); Bill Sciarra, vice-president (second semester); Bernadine Lewis, secretary; Jerry Parr, treasurer; and Murella Purlee, program chairman. 55 OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY... 56 OUR ZEAL FOR SPORTS PROVED IT TRUE!

With Darl Kriete going over for the winning touchdown in the last minutes of the game, Seymour defeated their arch rivals, the Columbus Bulldogs in a real thriller, 33-27. Thirty-three seemed to be a lucky number, for the Owls won their next game over the Rushville Lions by a thick 33-13. Fighting innumerable bad breaks.

It ' s about iny ex- perience in the retailing field. Believe me. Variety Store business is fast-moving and interesting. Each counter is a store in itself. Here at Murphy ' s one learns retailing from the bottom up! I 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. I 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 Muiphy ' s soon as yuu can. G. C. MURPHY COMPANY 95 I ' ' -b , i%.. ' . ' - £t R
