These people realized that their small high schools were inadequate and that individual financing of new buildings wasimpractical. The dream stage soon passed, and people began serious discussion of consolidation and building. SOUTWJE X After the defeat of a proposed consolidation with two townships in Barth- olomew County on June 7, 1955, Trustee William Drake of Washington Town- ship arranged a meeting in the Shelby County Court House with Trustees Wil- liam Hill of Jackson Township and Lester Dine of Hendricks Township, together with their advisory boards and Mr. Thomas Fogarty, Superintendent of Shelby County Schools, to discuss the possibilities of consolidation. A few weeks and several meetings later, preparations were completed for the circulation of petitions among all legal voters of the three tovmships to ascertain public sentiment regarding the proposal for consolidation. These petitions were accorded almost overwhelming support by the voting citizens, so on November 2, the trustees and their advisory boards met again and unanimously adopted a resolution of their intention to consolidate the three townships into a single school district. Members of the advisory boards acting with the trustees were Carroll Muck, Leonard Bland, and Paul E. Clark, Hendricksg Walter VanGorden, Otis Wasson, and Myron Emerick, Washington: Carl Sanders, Carl Ka- brich, and Paul Eberhart, Jackson Tovmship. On November 16, 1955, the Joint Resolution which was adopted November 2, stating that the consolidation of the three tovsmships would become effective August 1, 1956, was Filed according to the law of Indiana and published in the newspaper. It was then that some of the residents of Hendricks Tovsmship, exercising one of the freedoms we enjoy, filed a remonstrance asking that this action be delayed until all of their legal voters had an opportunity to ex- press themselves in a formal election. This election was held on Tuesday, December 27, and resulted in 76 percent favoring the consolidation. -ff' On December 28, 1955, educational history was made in Shelby County when Trustees William Drake, William Hill and Lester Dine, together with the three ad- visory boards of each township, County School Superintendent Thomas Fogarty, and tion. Charles Wetzel, Superintendent QW Dale S.

The final resolution, as adopted, stated that the consolidated school board should be composed ofsix members con- sisting ofthe duly elected trustee of each township and a member from each town- ship to be elected at the first general election in each township after the con- solidation became effective. To fill the interim between August 1, 1956, and January 1, 1957, when such elected members would assume office, each trustee was to appoint one member from his advisory board to serve on the con- solidated school board. Those appointed members were Mr. Otis Wasson, Washington Township, Mr. Carroll Muck, Hendricks Township, and Mr. Paul Eberhart, Jackson Township. The elected members who took of- fice January 1, 1957, were Kenneth Cortelyou, Jackson, Thomas Swinford, Washington, and Floyd Jackman, Hend- ricks. The new district was named the Southwestern Consolidated School Dis- trict of Shelby County, and as of Aug- ust 1, 1956, all school township assets and liabilities of the three townships were assumed by the new corporation. fi ,coz Directors of Holding Company Seated: James Matchett, Attorney, Russell Cherry, Kenneth Gor rell, Warren Comstock, Paul McCain.

Under the new plan, the new district operates and maintains elementary schools in each township, and a new high school was erected to serve the entire area. Planning the erection of the new high school began in May, 1956, when a non-profit corporation of stockholders was estab- lished and incorporated under Indiana law, to be known as the Southwestern Building Corporation. One hundred thirty-seven people bought shares at 3310. 00 per share. 'I'his money was used for the necessary expensesof printing the bonds, advertising, post- age, etc. On July 1, 1956, a board of directors was chosen from the stockholders of the Building Corporation. Those directors are Rus- sell Cherry, Presidentg Kenneth Gorrell, Vice-Presidentg Warren Comstock, Secretary: Paul McCain, Treasurer: and Paul Main, Floyd Jackman, Carl Sampson, Carl Kabrich, and Wellbourne Snepp. Wilbur F. Pell of Shelbyville was retained as attorney for the corporation and W. Erb Hanson of Connersville was employed as architect to design the new building. Since all preliminary requirements had been met and ful- filled, the Board met on August 1, 1956, to elect officers and appoint a supervising principal and board attomey. Elected as president of the board was William E. Drake, with Lester Dine chosen as secretary and William E. Hill, treasurer. Dale S. Rafferty was appointed board attomey. Chosen as members of a board of finance were Carroll W. Muck, president, and Paul Eberhart, secretary. The board appointed Charles Wetzel, Flat Rock elementary and high school principal, as supervising princi- pal of the new school district. The 20 classroom building provides for grades 7 to 12 inclusive and includes, besides regular classrooms for academic subjects, farm shop, industrial shop, arts and craft room, home economics department, two commer- cial rooms, science rooms for physics and chemistry, combination library and studyg music department with three practice rooms, uniform, wardrobe and instrument rooms, cafeteria which seats 250 students, combination gym- nasium and auditorium with stage fthe gym will seat 2500 for basketball gamesj, two physical education rooms, and two locker rooms, athletic director's office, equipment storage room, concession space in gym below bleach- ers, stage dressing room, and stage equipment and storage roomg administrative offices, health deparunent, book store, and boiler room making a total of 80 rooms in the building. The 20 acre site on which the building was constructed was purchased from Frank Cortelyou, Wayne Yarling, and Mrs. Marjorie Waltz with money from a cumulative building fund from Washington Township. January 29, 1958 On September 4, 1957, surveying began for JUIY, 1958 the new building, and on September 8, ground was broken. On September 26, 1957, at a meeting of the district school board, the name 'Southwest- em' was chosen for the new high school from a- mong several other names which had been sub- mitted to the board previously. Construction of the new, ultra-modern, ed- ucational plant moved along rapidly despite the drawbacks of weather, slow delivery of supplies, and many other unforeseen handicaps. August, 1958 After the plans for the new building were completed, contractswere awarded for con- structing and equipping the proposed new high school. Directors of the school building corpor- ation were charged with financing and con- structing the new school, and they in turn were to lease the new educational facility to the district school corporation for a 30 year period. At the termination of30 years, when all bonds will have matured and have been paid, ownership ofthe entire facility will go to the district school corporation. Contracts were eventually awarded in three categories, namely: I. General construction, awarded to I. Bush and Sons of Louisville. II. Heating, plumbing, Ventilating, and sewage work, awarded to Burton Plumb- ing and Heating, Rochester, Indiana. III. Electrical work awarded to the Harbstreit Engineering Company, Inc. , Bed- ford, Indiana. November, 1958 i,i- ,.,--P The Southwestern Consolidated School Dis- trict met on January 10, 1958, and divorced it- self from the county school system, selected a district superintendent, and decided to meer state standards with a first class commission for the high school. The board decided to offer four different curricula in the high school. These four are college entrance or academic, agricul- ture, vocational home economics, and business or commercial. Mr. Charles Wetzel was chosen as superintendent and began his new work in this carries out the policies and directives of the board and works in co-operation with the office of the county superintendent of schools in the operation ofall educational facilitieswithin thethree-tovvn- ship district. Grass was growing in gym when school began. All three bids were the lowest in their respective categories. In addition to these contracts other costs involved in the overall project were equipment for class rooms, black topped driveways and parking area, architectural and engineering fees, attorney fees, interest on bonds, insurance of building during construction, and other contingencies After the lease between the building corporation and district school corporation was executed bonds were sold collectively to four firms The City Securities Corporation Indianapolis Bond and Share Corporation Raffensperger Hughes and Company, Inc all of Indianapolis and Cruttenden Podesta and Company of Chicago These bonds bear the maximum rate of 5011: per year and are payable overatotal period of 30 years Mr Robert W Wade, former principal at Mt Auburn was chosen as principal The new building, although not quite completed, was ready for occupancy at the beginning of the 1958-1959 school year. By December 1, the gym was completed, and all functions of the new school were in operation. Total cost of Southwestem High School was approximately Sl, 190, OOO. The dedication of the new building was held March 15, 1959, with an 'Open House' and program. Reality -- Construction ofHce on June 1. In this new post, Mr. Wetzel Opening day, August 27, 1958, was probably the most exciting ever experienced in the school life of either pupils or faculty As we entered the lobby of our beauti- ful, though uncompleted, new building, en- rollment cards and schedules of classes were issued--Then began the real tour of our new world--- Where is Is this the way? Do you know where were heard on all sides as we found our way among many new faces, some fellow classmates, others upper or lower classmen, faculty and administrators---such a lot of people! Sea of New Faces Kr, Find o New Woy of School Life Pupils, faculty, and administrators all experienced a certain amount of pressure those first few weeks as they realized the ne- cessity of formulating a smooth-running organization with new routines and regulations, longer class periods, heavier schedules, and larger classes. All this was accomplished with a minimum of provocation despite the shortage ofdesks, tables, chairs, books, and the fact that so many parts of the building were still incom- plete. Perhaps the greatest task of all was the molding into a South- western student body, boys and girls whose loyalties were deep- rooted in other schools. But the excellent co-operation and desire to make adjustments by all students, soon made this transition from old ties into an intense pride and loyalty of S. H.

Despite the extremely wet summer with hundreds of work hours lost, and the pessimists who kept saying the new building couldn't be ready for occupancy by September, he optimistically kept on planning, organizing, and working toward the building s completion.

Juniors and Seniors, comprising the Southwestern Robed Choir, had many interesting and enjoyable exper- iences throughout the year. Under the direction of Mrs. Faybelle Linke, they opened the season with a program for the Flat Rock Citi- zens at Flat Rock. October 23, 1958 was an eventful day for many of them who were privileged to join almost a thousand other teenagers in a mass choir which sang before the Indiana State Teachers Association in Indianapolis. At the Christmas Program for Southwestern, the choir had the pleasure of experiencing two firsts. 'Two Much Mistletoe was the Hrstplaylet to be presented from the new SHS stage, and the choir members made their debut in their new robes at that time. Several of our top-notch musical groups, as well as individuals, were entered in the District Vocal Con- test at Franklin on January 31, and won distinction for our school. Early in February the choir presented a program at the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church. The dedication of the building on March 15, highlighted the year's events for the choral group. Appro- priately, they sang Bless This House, for this memorable occasion. Late in March the SHS Vocal Department hosted the Shelby County District Music Festival. Juniors and seniors assumed the responsibility of providing entertainment and food for the visiting students between the prac- tice session in the afternoon and the performance at night. Graduation activities in May completed the choir's program for the year. .lumor High Chorus Plans For The Future f 5 X . 0 Q C1 ws lv Y EIGHTH GRADE CHORUS Seated Betty Spurlin Thelma Baily Beverly Farlow Theresa Brown, Jurittie Maynard Linda Bartlett, Charlotte Dorsett Row 2 Miss Nancy Durell Marllyn Skillman Charlotte Bradley, Patricia Brewer, Judy Fost er Barbara Weaver Betty DeRoy Mar1lyn Borders Shirley Huston, Shirley Mann Izetta Isley, Linda Muck, Helen Andcr son Sharry Carr, Shirley Treon Donna Rose Phyll1s Cook Row 3 W11lTl3.

Community Co-operation Just sixty days after the organization of the Southwestern High School Band Boosters Club, the band uniforms arrived and a check covering the entire cost was in the mail. During that short time, one of the finest examples of school and community spirit was demonstrated when parents and friends of the school banded together and raised 33, O00 necessary to pur- chase 44 band uniforms and 5 majorette outfits. It seemed that everyone wanted to do his share in establishing a true Southwest- ern school spirit by providing the band with the finest uniforms. The desire for uniforms had begun in 1956 when plans for con- solidation were completed but it was thought best to wait until the new building was completed, so, on September 11, 1958, parents of the band met and organized the Southwestern High School Band Boosters Club. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted and the following officers were elected: Carl Kabrich, Presidentg Mrs. James Stafford, Vice-Presidentg Harold Kendall, Treasurer: and Mrs. Paul Main, Secretary. These officers led the financial drive for the uniforms. At a meeting of the Boosters Club on October 9, Mr. Amos, the director, was given authority to contract with a band uniform company for the purchase of band and majorette uniforms which were ordered on October 14 from the Pettibone Company of Cin- cinnati, Ohio.

Our Band, under the direction of Mr, Amos, made its first appearance in bright new uniforms presenting a concert to the Band Boosters' Club on November 19, From then on, the Band, led by the very talented majorettes, entertained at each ball game, making a colorful exhibition with routines of twirling, marching, and many drill formations, Musical numbers during pep sessions added much to the enthusiasm of students, faculty, and team, Go, South- western, Go, our school song, composed by eighth graders -- Theresa Brown, Beverly Farlow, and Judy Foster -- was arranged for band by Mr, Amos and used at all pep sessions and games. Spring activities began with the Dedication of the building on March 15. At that time, the Band played several marches and opened the program with our national anthem, -63- I fudenf Council Seated: Mr. Wade Sponsor John Harrod Q President wr' Joy Baker Secretary Row 2: Douglas Murray Richard Weaver David Robertson Sue Bartlett Janet Richardson Row 3: ff' John R.
