First We Were Eager FRESHMEN Sandy and Tim went to the deans for help. Eager with anticipatioft we began our Freshman year as S.H.S. We were excited, but a little wary of the new life ahead of us as members of the high school student body. We received our schedule of classes and after the first few days managed to get around with a little less difficulty and con- fusion. We stood in awe of the Seniors and longed for the day when we would become one of the upperclassmen who seemed to know so much about the school and about subjects which we had never heard about. However, we entered with open minds, feeling con- fident that someday we, too, would be as self-assured as everyone else. As the school year progressed, we began to know the students around us, and we made many new friends during the year. We soon had our few very close friends, but we also met pupils from different schools and differ- ent parts of the city. We began to feel united as a freshman class, and we worked hard at the activities we joined and the subjects we took. Of course, there was always that certain someone we were especially interested in, be- sides the many friends we had met already. Yes, our freshman year began to piogress, and with it we progressed in many ways. Guess who they were talking about? We Began to Know Our Classmates There is always room for one more. UL Soon we really began to dig into our classes, and although our assignments were hard at first, we started to understand them. It even became easier to concentrate after a few weeks, thanks to the consideration and patience of our teach- ers. Some of our subjects were very difficult and seemed like so much Greek at first, but when we started to fit into the regular pattern of school life, we began to understand that so much knowl- edge was necessary if we wanted to continue with our education. We continued to do our best so we could go on through the next years of high school with a good basic foundation. We started diagraming. Our Freshman Classes Were Interesting We were confused. We ' ll get it yet. The underclassmen looked up to llie Seniors As SOPHOMORES We Felt More at Home Bobby, Judy, and Curt represented the Sopliomores in Student Council. As sophomores we realized that hal f of those wonderful years at Shields High was nearly over. We could not recall ever being as green as the freshmen, and still we looked ahead — not im- agining ourselves ever being so- phisticated seniors. One of the most important events of our sophomore year was picking out our class rings. We began looking forward to those years when we could be upperclassmer., and those tiny rings rated high. Gathering at someone ' s car to talk over the latest news was a favorite pastime for these sopho- mores. Soon we would be upperclassmen too. We Began to Grow Up We spread the latest news — word got around. Come on: get to work! ' Our Studies Became Harder We looked further into Latin. With our sophomore year at Shields High came cares and responsibilities, but we took them all in stride. Yes, our studies became harder which meant more home- work. Those math and Latin classes took concentration. Marcia and Dennis look up to Mike, a senior. Our Junior year was filled with many new experi- ences; receiving our class rings, the annual class play, and making plans for the Junior Prom. Although these activities kept us well occupied we couldn ' t help but cast a watchful eye at our upperclassmen, the Seniors. As JUNIORS We Felt Superior The junior Ijoys worked hard on tlie prom. The girls worked on floor level while the hoys used the scaffolds. ' Junior girls attending Girls ' State were (sitting) Irma Krumme, Carol Wichman, Judy Gil- bert. Linda Bollinger. Doris Kiel; (standing) Mary Jane Mitchell. Sue Lucas. Janet Cum- mings. and Connie James. Juniors Study Better Government at I.U. Certain junior boys and girls were honored by having the privilege to attend Boys ' and Girls ' State at Indiana University. The stu- dents are divided into cities, hold elections. and are instructed in better government in a community. Various sororities and organiza- tions send the students and pay their way. Junior boys attending Boys State were: left to right. Don Munden, Mickey Beck, J. R. Hudson. Don Schroer. John Lewis, and Jerry Armstrong. 11 During our junior year we were busy preparing for the next task which would confront us, the task of be- ing a senior and looked up to by all the underclassmen. As Juniors we began to look ahead into the future and choose subjects which would help us specialize in one particular field of work. We abandoned the hunt and peck system. Our Junior Classes Became Specialized Mr. Everdon brought us up to date on current events. Snapshots From Editor ' s Desk The Senior majorettes pose for their last picture together.

The Four Years Were Great After three hard years we could hard- ly believe it — we were Seniors at last. We had dreamed of the last happy year, and after it arrived, it flew by so quickly we did not realize that it was gone. The Junior Prom, our Baccalaureate and finally, graduation exercises all seemed like a dream come true. We had all tried our best to make our activities the best, most exciting ever — and we succeeded. The struggle was over; but it was worth it. We stood on the threshold of our careers, armed with our diplomas and ready for anything, come what may. The ria— of ' 57 was led hy president Bill Nolting Chris is giving a report in Miss McHenry ' s English class on his research theme. Seniors Continue Studies for Future The fact that you were a Senior did not dim the necessity of study. It was essential that we maintain our grades to fulfill our amjji- tion — a high school diploma. From fourth year English to chemistry to industrial arts — we all did our best to raise our averages and our class ratings. Our teachers were only too glad to help us master our more difficult problems, and we were grateful for their help when the fateful day for grades arrived. For some this meant the last of their formal edu- cation — for others it was only the beginning of a trained profession. Whichever the case, we will always remember our final classes while we were Seniors. Miss Bruner and Miss Horslnian. Iier assistant student teadier. instructed us in the modern ways of government. 16 ' 4 rjm r- 1 ■ . I The Garden of Memories and the prophecies brought forth much fun and excitement. Having as its theme a garden party, the seniors made their last contribution to S.H.S. by participation in Class Day. Prophecies and wills were read at this time and listening to the history of the seniors made some of us wish we could go back and relive four won.- derful years at S.H.S. The presentation of the key was made by senior class president Bill Nolting to junior class president J. R. Hudson. 17 Sarah and Larry make wishes, Approximately two hundred persons attended the Senior Dinner in the Elks Club ballroom. The theme, The Garden Beautiful, was car- ried out by having a large wishing well in the center, singing birds, and small trees with various colored bird cages hanging in them. Members of the court were: left to right: Denny Rebber, Kathryn Meyer, King, Larry Eglen, Queen, Janet Bobb, Patty Harvey, Eugene Heiwig. The king and queen were crowned by the senior class president.

It wasn ' t an easy job to feed and clean up after us teen-agers for four, long years. Excellent food was prepared by the cafeteria staff; Mrs. Helen Pollert, Mrs. Bernice Redicker, Mrs. Edith Maschino, and Mrs. Monice Rumph. The staff was headed by Miss Carrie 0. Ryan (not pictured). CAFETERIA AND CUSTODIANS We thank our custodians, Mr. Orville McCellan, Mr. Ernest Rhoads, Mr. Arnold Vice, Mr. Leland Ames, and Mr. Sam Emily, who kept the building looking neat after us for four years. 1956- ORIENTAL GARDENS  f The queen and her court of ihe 1956 Prom were; Ka Harvey, Janet B obb, and Peggy Hennessy. er, Nancy Chestnut. The dance band was wonderful. The theme of the 1956 Junior Prom was carried out beautifully with all white decorations and gaily colored lanterns and umbrellas. The guests walked over a rustic bridge when they arrived and danced from 9:00 till 12:00 in the enchanting Oriental Gardens. The 1957 Junior Prom had as its theme Caribbean Cruise. The decorations were in blue and the evening was enjoyed by everyone. These two classes of Juniors certainly planned beautiful Proms and the Seniors enjoyed both. 1957 - CARIBBEAN CRUISE The queen and her attendants of the 1957 Junior Prom were: Karen Keyes, Peggy Boyles, Linda Bollinger, Sue Lucas, and Saundra Bobb.

Na- turally the money to pay for everything was a problem. So the juniors combined work with fun on their projects so that they might have a won- derful Prom this year. 28 Mr. Dyer arouses enthusiasm to help the seniors reach their goal in the maga- zine drive. SENIOR PROJECTS Says one senior to another, ril huy a pencil if you ' ll huy a hox of Christmas cards. The seniors made money and at the same time had fun working on their concessions.

Seniors Win Class Tourney Providing fun and entertain- ment as usual, the class tour- ney, with the comic outfits of the participants, got repeated laughs. The juniors beat the sophomores without much dif- ficulty. After that game the seniors took the plow over and defeated the sophomores. Make-up and costumes were left off as the championship game was played. The seniors increased their superiority by winning the title after also win- ning the championship last year as juniors. But it was all in good, clean fun and the whole gang poses?: 34 ■j ' ' f ' it : 4 YEARS IN ORGANIZATIONS The 1956-57 Student Council was composed of 13 members, two from each class except the seniors which have three. This group was chosen by the students to be their representative body. Meetings of the council consist of discussing the problems of students, improvements to be made, and the de- velopment of better citizenship among the students.- Some of the activities were selling Owl sweat- shirts, sponsoring booster busses to out of town basketball games, presenting two student convoca- tions, and sponsoring a Draw the Owl contest, to find an Owl for the official Owl of the school. The Council also sponsored a Teen Etiquette week. Advisors for the council were Miss Gladys Gil- pen and Mr. Charles Seville. Left to right: Tom Dunn, Vice-President, Phil Ahlbrand.

Mitchell, Future Teachers Inspect Teaching Field The Future Teachers of America had a very de- finite purpose for their organization. Not only did they wish to build up within themselves the qualities of a good teacher, but they also wanted to learn the advantages and disadvantages of te aching. Listening to teachers from our school, some who had many years of experience and others who had just entered the field, enabled the students to get a better look at the teaching profession. Although only eight members participated in this organization, the group sponsored the victory soc hop before the regional, served as guides at the annual parent ' s night, and participated in classroom teaching. The club ' s sponsor was Miss Mary Alice Bruner. Officers were: Mary Jane Mitchell, program chairman; Marita Terkhorn. treasurer; Bev- erly Byrd, secretary; John Dittmer. vice-president; Janet Peters, president. 37 Seated, left to right: Lucille Engleking, Donna Engleking, Janet Flick, Linda Klaykamp, Doris Grein, Miss Janet Peters.

For Tomorrow The F.F.A. had many activities during the year to help the agricultural students become better farmers and citizens. In February junior and senior members traveled to Louisville to visit the Inter- national Harvester Company. A delega- tion was also sent to the State F.F.A. convention at Purdue where livestock, dairy, crop, poultry, and forestry judg- ing teams participated in county and district contests. Several members also participated in speaking contests. Working on the school farm the stu- dents learned how to gain skill in the various techniques of agriculture. The students also learned better farming methods which will aid them when they engage in farming for themselves. Mr. Nelson Lewis was sponsor for this group. The officers were, seated left to right: Louis Bobb, treasurer; Willis Moenning, vice-president; Ronnie Otte, secretan ' .

The Spanish Club this year was open to all students studying Spanish or already completing two years of Spanish. The Club met to discuss and study the customs and distinctions of Spain, Mexico, and other Spanish speaking countries in South America and Central America. Movies of these countries were shown, and guests froin these other countries were welcomed. A Christmas party was held for members and their guests, and the traditional pinata was broken at the party. The Spanish Club sponsored a dance after the Greensburg ball game, which was very successful. Proceeds from this dance were used to purchase Spanish Club pins for the members of the club, and also to pay the fee for the entrants of the Spanish contest, held every year. Members of the club learned a great deal during the year about activities of people who are of another country but now speak a common language of friendship. 42 The Latin Club, sponsored by Miss L. Grace Anderson, was organized for the purpose of learn- ing about the origin of the Latin language and of Roman Life. Many interesting facts and stories were learned throughout the year that could not be dis- cussed in class. Members of the Latin Club gave plays about the subject of Roman people and sev- eral interesting talks about this subject were given during the year. Subjects discussed included ath- letics, religion, amusements and schools of Rome. Songs were sung at the club meetings, and the mem- bers participated in games and contests in the Latin language. The club members worked and played together to learn more about the language they studied.

PATRIOT STAFF Initiates New Ideas i-l,inl Kdilm. anr, MaMlii. and Kdilui Vr -is II, Leaving their many activities and working on the Patriot, the Seniors of ' 57 did their best to publish an annual that will bring back many happy memories of school days at Shields High School years from now. Giving up lunch hours, typing on Saturdays, and just plain rushing to meet that next dead- line all fell in the line of duty. Because of the small amount of advertisement needed, more pages were devoted to other activi- ties and special occasions, such as the prom. This is also the first Patriot to have colored pages. Because the Patriots were not delivered until fall, this enabled the staff to include commence- ment, baccalaureate, senior week, baseball, track, and many other events in the yearbook. Several juniors also helped by typing, identi- fying pictures, and lending a hand when needed. The staff, sponsored by Mr. Kenneth Chastain, also held a dance to raise monev for the year- book.

OWL STAFF Gained Recognition for Paper The staff was ably directed by Peggy Aiken, editor-in-chief. One of the busiest organizations in Shields High School this year was the Owl Staff. They worked hard to publish ten monthly issues during the school year, with two special edi- tions, one at Christmas and the other a dedi- cation to the graduating class of ' 57. The Owl Staff had several other activities during the year besides publishing the monthly editions. During the sectional the Owl spon- sored a mixer after the 3 night games, and a dance after the final game of the Sectional. The 1957 Sectional Queen Contest was also sponsored by the Owl Staff. Miss Constance Renaker was sponsor for the group. Miss Constance Renaker sponsored the Owl publications.

Junior and senior girls who were members of ComTnercial Club this past year had a very interesting year. Early in the year a trip through one of the local banks was enjoyed by many of the members. Candy was also sold by the club members to help raise money for the trip the senior girls took to- Indi- anapolis in the spring. In February a tea was enjoyed by the members. Miss Laura Schulte and Mrs. Robert Kiel spoke on the planning of wardrobes for girls going into the business world. Miss Bernice Foster was sponsor of the club.

TRI-HI-Y Emphasized Helping Others The Tri-Hi-Y under the sponsorship of Miss Lillie Fosbrink and co-sponsor Miss Janet Peters spent an active year keeping the trophy case sparkling clean and fixing baskets of food for needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. An outstanding project performed by the Tri-Hi-Y was the support for the RIAL program. The girls at Shields High were urged to keep a record of their church attendance during the month of December. The Tri-Hi-Y has carried out its purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character.

The Lettermen of Shields High be- longed to an extra large club this year. The club was very active in producing the athletes of the ' 56- ' 57 school term. The club helps to promote the Junior High athletic program every year by charging admission for the Junior High and freshman basketball games. The money collected was for the fund which helps the Junior High to buy athletic equipment. Officers of this year ' s Let- termen ' s Club were Bill Nolting. Dick Tuggle, and Denny Rebber. iiill.

With only a few returning lettermen and the new gridders, the coach formed a new team which fought hard all the way. It wasn ' t fun to lose, but the students of S. H. S. appreciated the efforts of the team and backed it all the way. Dick Tuggle and Howard Osborne were selected for the all-conference team with Bill Nolting.

FRESHMEN Have Fine Season Excellent team spirit was a determining factor in the success of this freshman team. They triumphed over all except one oppon- ent. This fine experience in freshman foot- ball will make these boys all the tougher when they meet varsity competition in the ye ars to come. Yes, the football future looks bright at S. H. S.

The Owls celebrated their region- al crown with a bonfire and a meal at the Ritz. The Owls buckled down to play Gertsmyer, but the Terre Haute boys were just too big and too good for the Owls to handle. The Owls had a fine season and a fine ball club.

Next year the second team has to be varsity material and top notch instruction on the reserve team is very necessary. The Reserves developed some fine material in three boys who were n oved to the varsity during the last part of the season. The reserves enjoyed traveling with the varsity and had a thrilling experience. The reserves had no standout player and no one knew who would be hitting. The reserves had height and reserve strength. They ended with an 11 won and 9 loss record for the ' 56- ' 57 season. Action gets under way with Jerry up for a high tip off. 72 The Freshman team was strong in re- serve power this year. Four freshmen were moved to the reserve team, and Coach Becker had to dig deeper into his bench strength to come up with four newcomers to fill the starting positions. The fellows realized the ' situation and stepped right in. The team showed great potential, and the players enjoyed the season. They ended with a record of 13 wins and 7 losses, including three losses by one point. Managii fur llie teams were John Lewis and Dale Stockoff.

Led by Larry Eglen, the Owls went on to win the conference championship and then place second in the sectional. After qualifying for the state by its finish in the sectional, the Owls finished nineteenth in the state. A splendid showing!

GOLF TEAM Placed High in Conference Larr Eglen the team captain, trie- for par This year ' s golf team gave a good re- port of theinselves. After placing second in the conference they came back to do a good job in the spring. The team was young and powerful, losing the conference by only one stroke. Golf is one of the two season sports which are played spring and fall. 76 Two seniors, two sophomores, one jun- ior, and two freshmen participated on the tennis team this year. Since many of the players will be veterans, next year ' s team should be a good one. Mike Lewis and David Fox made the trips to substitute in case of an emergency.

This rather young team has become an experienced and sharp-looking club. Thev showed real stamina and shrewd handling in the last few ball games. Although Coach Deputy retired, he left behind a good ball club which should prove hard to handle next year. So look out for a good baseball team next year.

Some of the best- liked activities included bowling during the winter and softball in the spring of the year. Freshman initiation for all new members who had become eligible was held in the spring of the year with the S eniors officiating. The girls enjoyed the competition and sports- manship and learned a great deal from the variety of activities, as well as improving their skills and their physical fitness. G.A.A. served as an outlet for our excess energy, as well as an enjoyable way to have fun. Janet hit a long one. 80 Mr. Robert Bulleit served as super- intendent of the Seymour Community Schools for his third year.

They did a fine job repre- senting our class, and helped us in every way they could. The Seniors had four sponsors this year to help them in their projects to make money for the class. Head sponsor was Mr. Marvin Dyer, who was also in charge of selling Basketball Schedule pencils and Christmas Cards. Miss Renaker was in charge of the Senior Class Play given in the fall of the year. Mr. Everdon took care of the Seniors who worked at the concession stands throughout the basketball season. Miss McHenry helped the Seniors plan Class Day and the Class Dinner given at the close of the year.
