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

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.

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: -
