Ve i ?- TIME COMES, AND GOES . . . and it seemed as if we had only just started our school year when it ended abruptly, and it was time for remembering the part we had played in this one year, 1955-56, at Shields High, We had all worked hard, but we had plenty of opportunities for good times. We ended our school year very satisfied in that we had all these moments to remember. Now as we look through this book, it brings some of these memories back to life for us. X--= .tI |||y Those of us who lived in the country were brought to and from school on our modern buses. We had many different means of getting to and from school. This year we who lived in the country had two new modern buses to make our trip more comfortable. Of course some of us still rode the older buses but there were not nearly so many students on a bus. Our teachers ar- rived at school a little earlier than the rest of us in order that they could get ready for that first 8:20 class. Mr. Wright and Mr. Jump, two of our new faculty members, leave school after work. Kenny Montgomery, Connie Zimmerman, and Max Nichter buy supplies from Mrs. Montgomery. First thing in the morning, one of the busiest places in the halls of SHS was the book store. Our good friend Mrs. Hildegard Montgomery, who was in charge, helped us to pick out our notebooks, paper, pencils, and other school supplies. Then we headed for our lockers, picked out our books, heard the latest gossip, and started out to classes. Wayne Shortridge, Ken Coates, Carol Larrison, Doris Loyd, Margaret Mines, and Doryce Precht try to make their next class on time. CAFETERIA PROVIDED GOOD FOOD We always enjoyed the delicious meals and the friendly conversation in the ca feteria. M-m-m-m, that smells good and I wonder what ' s on the menu today were often heard in the line of students who waited to be served at the cafeteria. This was a time when we could relax and talk with our friends as we ate our noon meal. The cafeteria was a very pleasant place, and it was modernly equipped with a television set that was en- joyed by all of us. Our conscientious workers in the cafeteria were kept at their busiest during the winter weather in January and February. Moving pictures played an important part in furthering our education. WE RECEIVED EXCELLENT SERVICES FROM MANY PEOPLE Our loyal custodians, Sam Emily, Arnold Vice. Orville McClellan, and Ernest Rhoads, worked hard to l eep our school looking neat. Miss Wilma Rose Smith, supervisor of health and hygiene, was always ready to offer her services in any health matter. SUE SUTTON REIGNED AT 7955 JUNIOR PROM . . . The 1954-55 Junior-Senior prom was one of our most wel- comed activities of the year. The theme of our prom was Musical Fantasy and was held in the girl ' s gym. The gym was beautifully decorated with a false ceiling made of three shades of blue crepe paper and silver ornamented music notes. To set the exciting affair off just right, the president of the junior class, Ronnie Certh, crowned Sue Sutton, lovely junior, as queen of the prom. Honored as Sue ' s attendants were: Mary Kunz, Rosalie Stockelman, Ceorgiann Barlow, and Margie Sciarra. AND OTHER PRETTY QUEENS REIGNED OVER VARIOUS EVENTS SHS was proud to have three lovely girls elected by the student body to reign as queens over the important events this year. First we remembered how stunning Sue Sutton had looked as Queen of the 1955 Junior-Senior Prom. She was certainly the belle of the ball that night. Also Patty Harvey, a junior, was simply radiant as the co- captains of the football team crowned her the 1955 Homecoming Queen. We were so proud of our Ceorgiann Barlow, a senior, who was the SHS representative for the 1956 Sectional Queen. She was absolutely gorgeous as she stood on the stage at the Basketball Boogie with the other contestants. All of these girls proved an asset to our school, and we shall long remember these places of honor that they filled. May I have the next dance? It was always exciting to attend the dances after the games, and working on the senior concessions proved an interesting experience. ACTIVITIES THAT TOOK PLACE OUTSIDE OF CLASSES What would we have done if the different clubs and organizations had not sponsored dances after the ball games? Practically every- one came, and they were always loads of fun. Every senior, at one time or another, was called to work on the concessions at the basketball games. People flocked to the booths at half-time and made this the busiest part of the evening for the workers. One of the customs at Shields is the annual decoration of the big Christmas tree in the main hall by the Hi-Y boys. This project of theirs certainly added much holiday spirit to the student body. 10 In our speech classes, we learned how to talk before a large or small group of people with :omplete assurance. This year we were entertained with quite a variety of convocations. They always proved interesting, and there was much excitement in the halls of SHS when we knew there was a good program on schedule. One of the most enjoyed programs was one given by the baritone singer, Charles E. King. The choir offered its talents in giving two convocations, and two full-length movies, Stars and Stripes Forever and Cheaper by the Dozen proved very entertaining to the students. The student body was honored by a program given by Captain Paul Dry, who related his experiences as a sailor. The student convocations that were given this year also drew much attention. IN SPEECH CLASS WE LEARNED HOW TO ADDRESS LARGE AUDIENCES ■m-W -m: - How many natural occuring elements are known by man? Questions of this type and many more were asked in chemistry class every day by our instructor, Mr. Robert R. Bell. There was an abundance of material to be studied and learned in this course, and sometimes we found it very difficult to remember all those different formulas. But after a busy year working on special assignments and laboratory ex- periments, we felt that our time in chemistry class had been well-spent. CHEMISTRY AND MATH HELD GREAT ATTRACTION FOR US . . . a x- + b X — c = 0 This and many other mathematical equations were solved all year by the students under the super- vision of our good friend and math instructor, Mr. J. Avery Dittmer. Although it was some- times a struggle, especially around exam-time, when we had to do last-minute cramming, we look back on our math classes and remember them as happy hours. 12 ' .sjHRSMirqiWiWitDinmKiSBMttniamMRKin Spanish class studied hard under the supervision of Mrs. Thelma Cross. Language held great attrac- tion for us ; and, as time passed, we all enjoyed our Latin and Spanish classes. We soon found ourselves looking for- ward to the hours spent in these classes. WHILE SPANISH AND SHOP WERE AMONG OUR OTHER INTERESTS John Brockemeyer and Max Hawkins obtained actual practice in the use of shapers. Actual ex- perience held great fascina- tion for all of us, and the boys in Shields enjoyed the time spent in industrial arts classes. We worked with wood and were aided by our supervisor in machine shop where we learned much about different pieces of equip- ment. THERE V ERE PRACTICAL SERVICES Several drivers ' training students change a tire before beginning their practice-driving. We always looked forward to the fun we had in drivers ' training class. We all con- sidered the actual experience that we obtained in this course very valuable. Our instructors, Mr. Dittmer and Mr. Cili, were patient with us and saw that we had the ability to pass the examination for a driver ' s license. The SHS study hall was usually the place where we crammed for that exam we were dreading next period. Of course, after we had finished our lessons, we could always read from a wide selection of books, magazines, and news- papers. Mrs. Hildegard Mont- gomery and Mrs. Alice Walters were the supervisors. That question sure was hard, we thought as we concentrated on the scholarship exams. PREPARATION FOR THE FUTURE INTERESTED UPPERCLASSMEN Booklets studied on Career Day opened many new doors for the upper classmen. At last the big day had ar- rived! We seniors worked hard for nearly four hours on the morning of December 9, 1955. The State Scholarship exams were rough all right, but each of us had hopes of coming through with a high score. Career Day was held in order that we might decide upon our life ' s work. There were repre- sentatives from several differ- ent vocations who made it pos- sible for us to form our ideas and opinions about different types of work. ACTIVITIES . . . TIME COMES AND GOES . . . and we were very busy with all the activities of our many clubs and organizations. There was always some job that had to be completed. Clubs sponsored dances and parties, and there were various other ways in which the organiza- tions went about planning their projects. In the following pages, keeping time as our theme, we are going to try to relive for you every minute of this prosperous year. 17 Members of Future Teachers of America were: left to right; Miss Bruner, Doryce Precht, Judy Parks. Joan Abraham, Ann Eicher Schrader Joyce Coecker, and Ellen FUTURE TEACHERS PREPARED FOR A CAREER Lois Breitfield, the president of FTA, works on some of the points she learned in this organization. The Future Teachers of America is an or- ganization to introduce to high school juniors and seniors the various phases of the teaching profession. One of its objects is to inform them of the advantages and disadvantages of teaching. Local teachers discussed the teaching prob- lems with various age groups and in various subjects. Members of the organization pre- sented reports on teaching and evaluated their own characteristics which might indicate their future success as teachers. The officers for this year were: Lois Breit- field, president; Kathryn Meyer, vice- president; Ellen Schrader, secretary; Judy Parks, treasurer; and Doryce Precht, program chairman. The club ' s sponsor was Miss Mary Alice Bruner. The commercial club sponsored dances and sold candy to finance this year ' s activities. Junior and senior girls on the commercial course were eligible to belong to the club. A tea was held in January to help the girls plan their spring wardrobes. Mr. Arthur Kaufman and Miss Laura Schulte were special guests for this memorable event. Senior girls with their sponsor. Miss Bernice Foster, traveled to Indianapolis the first day of senior week. They visited the Bell Tele- phone Company, the Meridian Insurance Com- pany, and the Farm Bureau office for a look into business life. Officers for the 1955-56 club were Loretia Thompson, president, Alberta Krumme, vice-president, Madeline Sweany, secretary, and Phyllis Pogue, treasurer. COMMERCIAL CLUB TRAVELED TO INDIANAPOLIS . . . Members of commercial club this year were: Delia Edgeworth, Janet Sutherland, Nancy Taylor, Thelma Otte, lanet Krumme, Madeline Sweeney, Loretia Thompson, Alberta Krumme, Barbara Johnson, Sue Kriete, Frieda Eieker, Helen Steltenpohl, Bonnie Barkman, Donna Carpenter, Patty Wehrkamp, Marilou Torborg, Patty Bar- nett, Janice Martin, Marjorie Mines, Susan Carter, Mary Lois Nentrup, Marilyn Klakamp, Janet Vance, Janet Smith, and Luwanna Donnells. 19 Leading the club ' s activities for the first semester were the officers: left to right; Seated: Ann Feaster, treasurer; and Judy Kay Kamman, Chor- ister; Standing: Don Munden, vice-president; Peggy Hennessy, president; Connie James, secretary; and John Lewis, program chairman Singing Latin songs, playing Latin games, and having talks and plays relative to Roman life v as the content of the Latin Club meet- ings held on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. The club fulfilled very well its purpose of giving the student of Latin a chance to learn in addition to class work. An example of this was its financial support of our con- testants in the Latin Contest held in the spring of the year. The officers elected for the second semester were: John Lewis, president; Karen Keyes, vice-president; Peggy Hennessy, secretary; Patty Spray, treasurer; Irma Krumme, chor- ister; and Don Munden, program chairman. Miss L. Grace Anderson was the sponsor of the club.

The members had a Halloween and Christ- mas party, sponsored a dance after a basket- ball game, and had a hayride in the spring. During the meetings, many Spanish songs and customs were studied. All in all the activities proved very interesting. One delightful surprise for Mrs. Cross was a party given in her honor upon the occasion of her marriage. .

The Future Farmers of America consisted only of boys who intended to make farming their occupation. It helped them to co-operate with others and taught them better farming habits. The organization conducted pest- killing and safety campaigns. They published the Future Farmers of America newsletter and participated in public speaking, essay, live- stock, and crop-judging contests. They had a parent-son banquet and gave awards to outstanding members. The Future Farmers of America also provided the Christ- mas tree for the main hall. 22 The FFA officers were Clarence Pollert, president, Maurice Moenning, vice-president; David Baldwin, secretary; George Miller, treasurer; Tom Zech, reporter; Jim Elmore, assistant reporter; and Willis Moenning, sentinel. The club ' s sponsor is Mr. Nelson Lewis. This useful club was respected for its part in promoting the ath- letic program in the Junior High. The Lettermen ' s Club was com- posed of athletes who had as their purpose the promotion of good will among boys who competed in sports. Some of their activities in- cluded selling tickets at Junior High and freshman basketball games and handling concessions at the sectional tourney. These activities were supervised by Mr. Donald Keane, Mr. C. H. Engle- hardt, and Mrs. Charles Peters, the club ' s sponsor. Officers of the club were: left to right: Mike LaMaster, secretary; Ken Coates, treasurer; Ralph Hill, vice-president; Dan Kiel, president; and Danny Thomas, sergeant at arms. . . .

Good behavior was stressed all year by members of the Student Council. Conduct in the halls of SHS in classrooms, at basket- ball games, and everyplace around school in general was among the chief concerns of the group. A new method of election of members was started this year by the Council. This plan included the holding over of two members from each class in order that the Council might be more experienced the following year. One event that was particularly exciting for the Student Council was their sponsoring of the 1955 Homecoming last fall. The advisors who guided the activities were Mrs. Edith Crawley and Mr. William Drake. xnotHaaoiiji:.

This organization is for journalistic minded students who write for the school paper, the Owl. Members must have 100 inches of printed copy in the newspaper to be eligible to belong to this organization. This is a very hard task and rep- resents some effort on the part of students. Students attaining membership last year and still participating this year were: Janet Smith, Dick Barth, Thelma Otte, Judy Embry, and Aleatha Miracle. Membership this year was awarded to: Peggy Aiken, Anita Edwards, Nancy Lyskowinski, and Denny Rebber. Initiation was held toward the end of the school year at a party given by the Quill and Scroll.

The Shields Owl, in its seventeenth year of publication, served the school and gave the students a chance to do outstanding work in the field of journalism. Fourteen issues were published on the first and last Fridays of the nine school months, under the editorship of Janet Smith and under the supervision of Mr. C. R. Wright. Top staff positions were held by Judy Embry, news editor; Thelma Otte, editorial editor; Anita Edwards, feature editor; and Tom Huckelbery, sports editor. Business managers were; Janet Krumme, advertising; Barbara Johnson, exchange; John Harlowe, circulation; Dean Davidson, publicity; and Fred Henly, art. A member of the Indiana High School Press Association and Quill and Scroll, the Owl Staff spon- sored the sectional dances and also the annual sectional tourney queen. .| ll- 3p | ( We ' ve got to meet this deadline , was a com- ment made as Tom Huckelbery, Denny Rebber, Anita Edwards, Judy Embry, and Thelma Otte worked feverishly on the Owl. It has always been a fact that publishing the Patriot is a very time-consuming project. The members of the staff found this true as they set out to do the best job possible on the yearbook. Some of the work the staff had to do was to sell ads, write copy, identify pictures, and finish up the individual pages to meet that deadline that stared them in the face. Heading the staff were; Dan Kiel, editor; Mary Kunz, assistant editor; Nancy Neff, copy editor; Erma Brewer, senior editor; Thelma Otte, class editor; Dick Barth, sports editor; Tom Molting, business manager; George Krein- hagen, advertising manager; and Fred Henley, art editor. Mr. C. R. Wright advised the staff very competently. Working on schedules for the Patriot were the editors and managers, Tonn Nolting, Erma Brewer, Thelma Otte, Nancy Neff, George Kreinhagen, Mary Kunz, Fred Henley, and Dick Barth. ...

As the old members returned in September, they met their new director, Mr. R. ]. Williams. Among the concert choir ' s activities were the impressive Christmas concert and their ex- citing tour. They also sent contestants to the solo and ensemble contest in February. After all the events of the busy year were over, the 1955-56 concert choir was considered a tremendous success. The officers elected for the year were: Dick Barth, president; Bill Mclntire, vice-president; Nancy Neff, secretary; and Delores Decker, treasurer. Our 1955-56 Girls ' Ensemble started the year off right by having a new director, Mr. R. J. Williams, and nine new members. They sang many programs in this community throughout the year; and, perhaps, the climax of their events was their participation in the solo and ensemble contest at Hanover in February. One important event on the girls ' schedule was the purchasing of their new formals.

When football season was over, our mu- sicians slipped right into the beat with its rock ' n roll jive that fairly shook the rafters of the Boys ' Gym. Yes, it was basketball time, and the band played a great part in lifting the spirits of the boys on the team. The Solo and Ensemble Contest at Hanover excellent showing as nearly everyone received provided incentive for lots of hard work. The band members who participated in the con- test made an excellent showing as nearly everyone received a first division rating.

They were: Jo Ann Rebber, freshman; Kathryn Meyer, junior; Peggy Hennessy, junior; Judy Kay Kamman, freshman; Doris Jones, freshman; and drum ma- jorette, Nancy Martin, junior. They attended twirl- ing camp during the summer and learned many new twirling routines and also flag, pom-pom and dance routines. Many of these came in handy for the band programs. This proved a successful year for the majorettes as well as for the band.

SENIORS SCORED HIGH WITH LINE OF SCRIMMAGE ' The seniors began stepping at a fast pace when they started work on their class play, Line of Scrimmage. This was a comedy in three acts whch centered around Mr. Morrison, a high school principal and his conflicts concerning school and his personal life. Involved in the many mix-ups were his secretary and the grammar teacher who became rivals for his attention. To add to the flavor of the play some of the students were caught cheating on an English exam. One of the students happened to be the star football player whose right to remain on the team was being questioned. After much arguing, scheming, planning, and down-to-earth humor, all ended well; and the seniors considered their class play a tremendous success.

The play took place in an eastern city in the summertime and mainly concerned a unique old lady, Aunt Emma, who had just come upon a great deal of money. She was bound to a promise that she should will the money to her three nephews. However, she discovered that she had a neice, Jane, who also needed the money. Aunt Emma decided that the only solution was for Jane to marry one of her nephews.

Sponsoring dances after the ball games, conducting a bake sale, order- ing their pins, working at concessions during the county tourney, and pre- paring for their annual banquet made for a very busy year. The Diversified Co-operative Educa- tion Club is run on a strictly demo- cratic basis. Three members of each class were elected officers and these people made up the Executive Board which governed the club. Executive Board members were; George Kreinhagen, president; Kath- erine Pollert, vice-president; Judy Embry, secretary-treasurer; Shirley Shutters, Joann Toppe, and Don Reed. Janet Smith was a member of the DCE Club, and work- ing at Beard ' s Office Supply Store was her part-time iob. 34 Dramatics Club members. Tom Snyder, Peggy Aiken, and Janet Sutherland, worked hard to make ready for one of their productions. Dramatics Club was off to a rather slow start last season as the first production was scheduled into the ides of March. The members of the club spent the first part of the second semester struggling through a series of work-shop selections. In March, the club worked feverishly to finish the setting for the Dramatics Club convocation program. The plays given were of a comedy nature and wer e well-received by the student audience. Many of the dramatic club members were new to the theatre game, and the amount of work required before the play can be put into production was quite appalling to most of them. After the final per- formance. It was decided that the time and efforts required had been well-worth the worry and work; but, during the last frantic moments before opening night, most of them would have gladly exchanged places with almost anyone. The officers elected for the year were: Mike Simmons, president; Ralph Haycraft, vice- president; and Janet Sutherland, secretary.

The main purpose of the Hi-Y was to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school, home, and community, high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y is affiliated with the Young Men ' s Christian Association of Indiana. The membership included just boys in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The boys sponsored a dance after a ballgame and also decorated the Christmas tree in the main hall. In addition to this holiday activity, Hi-Y lent their serv- ices in the drive for the needy. This group was spon- sored by Mr. Harry Unger. The purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y, sponsored by Miss Fosbrink, is to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the home, school, and com- munity, high standards of Christian character. This organization is a service club for the school with only girls as members. The Tri-Hi-Y platform is good speech, sportsmanship, scholarship, and clean living. With this in mind, they fixed a basket of food for a needy family at Thanksgiving and sang Christmas carols at the Rose Lawn Home at Christmas time. The girls cleaned the trophy case before Open-House and also sponsored a dance after a ball game. The officers this year were: Ermadene Abel, president; Patty Barnett, vice-president; Jarice Martin, secretary; Nancy Ames, treasurer; and Janet Hawn, chaplain. ,., AS TRI-HI-Y PRACTICED CLEAN LIVING Members of Tri-Hi-Y were: left to right.

Some of the more ambitious members built radio receivers and worked on chemical experiments. However, less talented members, or more talented, depending on your point of view, were content to build stills (for medicinal purposes, of course) . Mr. Robert R. Bell was the sponsor of this ambitious group. All in all, everyone agreed it was a profitable year. Officers of the club were: Wayne Shortridge, president; Larry Eglen, vice-president; and Norman Bobb, secretary-treasurer. SCIENCE CLUB STRIVED FOR PERFECTION . . .

AND ART CLASSES OBTAINED CREATIVE IDEAS This exhibit illustrates the fine art work done this year. One of the busiest groups in Shields was the art class. They learned many useful things under the instruction of Mr. Charles Hunterman. Through- out the year they made several field trips to sketch subjects out-of-doors. One of their most beautiful projects was the decoration of the big north window at Christmas time. SPORTS . . . TIME COMES AND GOES . and even ran out too fast in a few ballgames. When our Mighty Owls took one of their many victories we were all proud they belonged to us. We all enjoyed the thrilling atmosphere of every ballgame and yelled our hearts out for our ball team. We cheered our football team on to its first undefeated season and backed our basket- ball team ail the way. We were proud of every team produced in SHS this year and pay due tribute to our teams on the following pages. Our five yell-leaders followed our team wherever they traveled and kept the student body cheering on the Owls. YELL LEADERS BOOSTED OUR TEAM . . . It is said that it takes a lot of cheering to back a good team. This quintet pictured above cheered the Owl football team through a very successful season. The four girls attended a cheerleaders ' conference at Indiana University where they learned several new yells and skits. The yell-leaders also at- tended camp in northern Indiana this past summer. Chosen by the student body the yell-leaders were Sue Sutton and Jim Murray, seniors, and Peggy Aiken, Karen Keyes, and Brenda Sciarra, sophomores. 42 In the fall series, the Owl Golf Squad won every match and easily took the South Central Conference Championship. The Conference meet was held at Seymour. Sam Carmichael of Martinsville was low medalist with a 71, but Seymour ' s Dick Barth was close behind with a 72. Captain Glen Combs of Sey- mour scored a 78 for third place in the individual honors. The Owls tied for fifth place in the State last spring and worked hard for even higher honors this year. Coach C. H. Englehardt was given much of the credit for the unbeaten record. We were very proud of the beautiful SCC trophy won by our undefeated Golf Team.

This year ' s team achieved the first undefeated season in the history of Shields High School football. The 1955 squad earned the Southern Conference Championship by establishing a 6-0 record in conference play and an over-all record of 9-0 for the year. This season ' s record placed the Owl football team in ninth place in the Indiana high school rating poll. This was the first Seymour team that has ever broken into the top ten of the Indiana football powers. The line play of Tom Molting and Dan Kiel gained them positions on the All-Conference team and honorable mention on the All-State squad. Bode Hill, a halfback, and Bob Lewis, an end, were also selected for the All-Conference team and for All-State honorable mention. Danny Thomas, a left-halfback, received the honor of being selected to both the All-Conference and the All- State teams as a first string halfback. This is the first time that a Shields High School gridder has been selected for All-State honors. Coach Dave Shaw compiled a highly successful season as a result of the squad ' s balanced team play. The Owls scored a record total of 248 points while holding the opposition to 48 points for the entire season. Assisting Head Coach Shaw were assistant coaches Walter Wintin and Donald Keane. Coach Wintin conditioned the linemen, and coach Keane developed the timing required of backfield men. 44 ' Q3!!« wm Row one; Ralph Hill, Bill Mclntlre, Max Norris, Denny Mahorney, Gerald Lucas, Charles Adams, and Tom Taylor, manager Row two; Dee Jay Keller, Jeff Schrink, George Miller, Bob Lewis, Jerry Mellencamp, and Jerry Marsh Row three; Steve Surface, Tom Nolting, Dan Kiel, Ken Coates, Don Droege, John Schrink, Mr. Walt Wintin, assistant coach; and Mr. Dave Shaw, head coach ...AS THE PERFECT SCHEDULE PROVED SHS 0pp. SHS 0pp. Connersville 20 6 Rushville 27 7 North Vernon 27 6 Southport 35 Columbus 27 7 Martinsville 26 2 SHS 0pp. Harry Wood 40 20 Shelbyville 39 leffersonville 7 Bode Hill, who helped us score 248 points to our opponents ' 48, dashes toward the goal line with the bal 45 I.

Twelve seniors offered their services to the Shields Owl ' s undefeated football squad last fall. Ten seniors were starting members for the Owl ' s while others supported their team-mates by being reliable substitutes. Most of these boys had been members for four years, and had played football togethes for the Owl ' s while others supported their this excellent team-work attributed to the excellent success of our 1955 football team. All the starting seniors either placed on the first string of the all-conference team or received honorable mention. Bob Lewis was placed on the third string of the UP all- state team nd Dan Kiel, Tom Nolting, and Bode Hill each received honorable mention. 46 ' Hpsppm mmm Members of the team were: left to right, Row one; John Terry, Richard Bottorff, James Brewer, Roger Hawk, John Moore, Franl lin Vaughn, Dennis Ciaycamp, and Bernie Schroer Row two; Curt Bruce, Eugene Mahoney, Ross Maschino, Mark Hill, Jerry Jaynes, Jack Hunter, Larry Trimpe, and Joe Johnson Row three; Pat Burke, Roger Voss, Gary Hunnicutt, Ronnie Otte, Ronnie Bennett, Jim Endicott, Mike Hall, and Gary Henderson FROSH PROVED THEIR ABILITY Although Coach Roy Rankin had a comparatively small group of boys with which to work, he made the best of things and turned out a 2-2-2 season for the Frosh. With quarterback Jim Endicott, halfback Mark Hill, and right end Curly Bennett leading the way, the team beat Martinsville and Columbus, tied North Vernon and Columbus, and lost to Bedford and New Albany. Both the Columbus games were thrillers, Seymour winning one of them 14-12, and the other ending in a deadlock. The Martinsville game was also a thriller — Seymour winning, 6-0, The only score of the game came on the last play when Curly Bennett took the ball on an end-around play and ran 92 yards to break the scoreless tie. 47 The Shield ' s High School Cross Country team had an excellent season to add to our successful athletic program. The team com- peted in eleven meets, and nine boys received letters for their abilities. Larry Eglen was the outstanding runner for the Owls this year, and he set a varsity record of 10:31 for two miles. Mickey Beck had the best time for a sopho- more with 1 1 :01. Karlton Pool set a freshman record of 11 :54 for two miles. Seymour also held the first Shield ' s High Invitational Cross Country Run in which seven teams partici- pated. Seniors this year were co-captions, Mike LaMaster and David Baldwin, and Gary Allman, and Don Reed. CROSS COUNTRY MEN VfERE GREATLY IMPROVED . . .

Mike LaMaster and Danny Thomas inspect the startii blocks they put to good use for the track team. The 1956 track and field season was high- lighted by many record breaking performances. Danny Thomas ran the 100 yard dash in :10.1 and the 220 yard dash in :22.1. Both times were new school records. Mike LaMaster ran the 440 yard dash in :51 .0 to set a new school record. Both Thomas and LaMaster went to the state meet last year; Thomas in the 100 yard dash and LaMaster in the 440 yard dash. Dave Baldwin set a new record in the 180 yard low hurdles with the time of :22.3, Bob Lewis also pole vaulted 11 ' 0 for a new record. This year ' s team had eleven returning letter- rnen. They were Mike LaMaster, Bob Lewis, Danny Thomas, Dave Baldwin, Jerry Arm- strong, Larry Eglen, Steve Surface, George Dollens, Jeff Schrink, Dee Jay Keller, and Kenny Edmonds. 49 The varsity basketball team was: Kneeling left to right: Denny Mahorney, Bob Lewis, Norman Bobb. and Stanley Bode Hill.

OWLS BROUGHT SH5 BEST RECORD YET . . . This ear the Shields High School basketball Owls com- piled the most successful season record in the history of the school by finishing the regular schedule with 18 wins and only 2 losses. They also won their sectional and reached the final game of the regional at Jefferson- ville where they were upset by New Albany, 64 to 62. in a thrilling, heart-stopping ballgame. This gave the team a 23-3 record for the entire campaign. There were five seniors on this year ' s squad; Bode Hill and Norman Bobb, co-captains; Denny Mahorney, Dick Barth, and Bobby Lewis. All these boys will be greatly missed on next year ' s team. Danny Thomas, a junior, was the leading scorer of the team. He averaged over 23 points a game and was acclaimed as one of the finest players in the state with his great shooting and rebounding. Coach jim Deputy, in his second season with the Owls, brought his team through the schedule with remarkable success. The Owls lost only to Elkhart and New Albany during the regular season and by a total of 5 points. They won the South Central Conference Championship with a perfect 8-0 record and were ranked in the AP poll as the third best team in the state. 50 Our scrappy Owls fight for a rebound a The reserve basketball team was: kneeling left to right; Don Keiser, Larry Eglen, Paul Hollenbeck, Ronnie Nowling, Don Schroer, Jim Smith, and Bill Hazzard. Standing left to right; Franklin Riley, John Lewis, Karlton Poole, Coach, Dave Shaw, Tom Ruddick, Harold Osborne, and Pat Kelly. RESERVES KNOY N AS COME BACK KIDS The Owlets finished with a record of 1 1 wins and 8 losses this year. Coach Dave Shaw used 9 sophomores, 2 freshmen, and 2 juniors in compiling a winning season. Larry Eglen, one of the juniors, was the leading scorer with 236 points for 19 games. The other junior, Hal Weddle, played on the varsity most of the year. The Owlets were known as the comeback kids, since they were strictly a second half ball club. 51 Kneeling left to right: Ronnie Barns and Bernie Schroe Neff, Mark Hill, )oe Johnson, Pat Burke, and Richard Otting, Bob Taylor, Mike Hall, and Bill Stockoff Second row: Coach, iottorff Third row: )i Roy Rankin, Bob Meyers, Bob 1 Endicott, Roger Voss, Ronald FRESHMEN AND INTRAMURAL TEAMS SHOW PROMISE The freshmen of SHS developed some good material for future use thanks to Coach Roy Rankin. The frosh showed great possibilities with their seasonal showing of ten wins and only five losses. Coach Rankin ' s squad consisted of twenty boys all of whom participated in the games with winning spirit. Outstanding in the group was Joe Johnson who broke into the starting five after the first couple of games. Little Bobby Meyers and Mark Hill took over the two guard spots and did very nicely. These boys set back many a freshman squad this year by their aggressiveness and alertness. Roger Voss, Mike Hall, and Ronald Otte did the rebounding and hitting from underneath. Again this year those of us who didn ' t go out for organized ball played on the intra- mural teams if we desired. We had many exciting games led by our team captains: Dick Shade, Carburetors; Carl Rush, Lions; Curt Bruce, Wonders; and Roger Hawk, Shrimps. Intramural team captains were left to right; Dick Shade, Carl Rush, Curt Bruce, and Roger Hawk. 52 Members of the tennis squad were: row one; left to right; James Brock, and Bob Meyers. Row two; Norman Bobb, Tom Dunn, Wayne Shortridge, Phil Ahlbrand, John Dittmer, Phil Jordan, and Vir. Avery Dittmer, coach. TENNIS SQUAD LOOKED TO THE FUTURE The Owl Tennis Squad grabbed third place honors in the SCC this fall. John Dittmer and Phil Ahlbrand won singles matches and the team won two other points by defaults. Seven squads competed in the conference match as Southport and Franklin didn ' t enter teams in the meet. In the only other fall meet, Seymour tied Connersville, 4-4. Coach Avery Dittmer also planned additional matches for the soring. 53 The boys who played on our baseball team were; Denny Mahorney, |ohn Dittmer, Phil Ahlbrand, Harold Weddell. Don Schroer, Ronnie Nowling. Mickey Beck, and Norman Bobb. BASEBALL TEAM EXCELLED Fred Henley proved to be infallible to his team as a four year baseball man. Baseball season opened with eleven players returning who had playing experience. They were; Denny Ma- horney, Fred Henley, John Dittmer, Phil Ahlbrand, Harold Weddell, Pete Knott, Don Schroer, Ronnie Nowling, Terry Henley, Mickey Beck, and Norman Bobb. Harold Weddell was the best candidate for the pitchers mound, with Phil Cus Ahlbrand at the catcher ' s spot. John Dittmer returned to right field, along with Fred Henley in center field. Terry Henley and Mickey Beck played at different positions from time to time. Last year the Owls defeated North Vernon, Creens- burg, Southport, Columbus, Franklin, and Crothers- ville. Their four losses were to Bedford, Shelbyville, Rushville, and Connersville. 54 ■ iiM w a MM I rn ri ■iniinmiii Another home run! Just as that ball went flying into the outfield, so time has whirled through another year of gala sports events for the Girls ' Athletic Association of Shields High School. Following time around the year from fall in- to spring, the warm weather brought softball with all its pep. Then cold weather enabled the girls to display their skills indoors through basketball, volley ball, bowling, and dancing. In addition to the organized activities, the CAA sponsored the District Basketball Clinic and also participated in the Fall Leadership Camp at Delphi and the Spring Camp at Co- lumbus. Another yearly event on the schedule was State Plaque Day at Ball State. Through the close co-operation of the mem- bers and their sponsor, Miss Amelia Taylor, the girls earned letters, sweaters, and plaques. The officers this year were: president, )anet Smith; vice-president, |oann Toppe; secretary, Lucille Bur- brink; and treasurer, Carol Redicker. G. A.

TIME COMES AND GOES but we will always remember the friends we made this past year at SHS. We knew stu- dents from every class and became more friendly each day with our teachers. We ap- preciated the services given to us by the ad- ministrative personnel. .Above all we will re- member the friends we made among the people of Shields High. Our school was di- rected very ably by a successful school board and superintendent. The school board held monthly, night meet- ings conferring with Mr. Bulleit on the problems of our school. Mr. Robert Bulleit directed our school very capably as superintendent of the Seymour Consolidated Schools. MR. BULLEIT AND THE BOARD DIRECTED US WISELY The s chool board this year consisted of five competent men who were Mr. Charles Hauens- child, Mr. Orville Fleetwood, Mr. Granger Smith, Mr. Rodman Prewitt, and Mr. Lester Swengel. 58 Mr. Joseph M.

SENIORS SHINED THE WHOLE YEAR As we seniors neared graduation this spring, we thought of all the happy times that we had had in the past year. It made us a little sad to think that we were leaving all the excitement and activity of high school. At the beginning of the year, we were put on a very busy schedule. First of all, we had our magazine-selling project. Everyone was amazed and thrilled when we outdid our goal and sold over $3,000 worth of subscriptions. Three of our other money-making activities were: selling Christmas cards, selling pencils, and handling concessions at the home basketball games. Of course we worked very hard on the Patriot, and then there were the Senior Dinner, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement plans to make. Our senior year was not all work, by any means. We had a very exciting time giving the class play, and we looked forward to the lovely prom that the junior class gave us this spring. Yes, we will always remember all the good times that we had here at Shields and keep our school experiences among the fondest of our memories. 63 SENIORS CHARLES E.

JUNIORS BUZZED ViflTH ACTIVITIES . . . As our class was organized last fall, we came to the full realization that we were now upper classmen. As juniors we knew that our schedule would be brim full of exciting activities. First of all, we decided to sell ball-point pens and license tags for automobiles to finance our class projects. Committees were then chosen for the big event of the year — the Junior-Senior Prom — and plans were started early in the fall. After the first semester, our minds turned to producing the annual Junior Class Play. A lot of work and fun went into this project. All in all we proved very successful as juniors, and we shall never forget the good times we had at SHS during this year. Sponsors who guided us through the year were: Mrs. Edith Crawley, Miss Bernice Foster, Mr. Elwood Switzer, and Mr. Charles Seville. 74 Row one; Ermadene Able, Phil Ahlbrand, Nancy Ames, Gene Ballman, Bonnie Barkman, and Patricia Barnett Row two; John Baurle, Ceraldine Beavers, Ruby Beavers, Merlin Bell, Janet Bobb, and Daryl Bohall Row three; LaDonna Booker, Betty Brandt, Lucille Burbrink, John Burkhart, Keith Burk- holder, and Beverly Byrd Row four; Brenda Byrer, Donna Carpenter, Su- san Carter, Nancy Chestnut, Danny Clark, and Verna Claycamp Row five; Ronald Crouch, Bill Cummins.

The concession stands were only one of many activities utilized to sponsor this yearbook; but, as a symbol of the hard working efforts expanded by the senior class, we would like to show you one picture taken behind the scenes. It is said that only the very good students and the very bad students re- tain a place in teacher ' s memories; the middle-of-the-roaders are soon for- gotten. We are positive that the senior class of Shields High School, 1956, is assured of never being counted among the forgotten students of yesteryear.
