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

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

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
