HEALTH SERVICE Q Nary a pain need go untreated around here. If there's any trouble, Miss Marie Moran, our nurse, will be glad to see and talk to the student. And who can stay sick for long in the pleasant rooms of the nurse's office, though it's no secret that it's easy to relax on the comfortable beds provided for sick students. Besides the daily service to indisposed students, the health service also has the job of giving each entering student an eye test and weighing them in. CAFETERIA Soft music, good food, and friends-with a spice of pep sessions, birthday parties, Coke ses- sions and study-are the trademark of our Shortridge cafeteria. There's something going on every minute of the dayg study in the morn- ing, several periods of lunchers at noon, and those all-important afternoon Coke sessions add up to a well-rounded schedule. Students asked for something new this year. By popular request, music was played during the lunch periods from the radio room on the third floor. BOOKSTORE Our Shortridge bookstore is really more like a well-stocked stationer's. Students are offered a variety of objects ranging from calculus texts to Kleenex. Now under the direction of Miss Betty Nichol- son, the bookstore is staffed by students who want to help the school. These able salesmen have become adept at finding tickets, locker re- ceipts, and little-used books. OFFICE Our main office is one of the busiest places in school. Visitors for principal Joel W. Hadley and messages at the telephone desk are a part of every day's business. Miss Ula Wright has the job of keeping the office running smoothly, and Miss Fern Warren is always busy keeping her multi records straight and up to date. The pleasant young lady in Mr. Hadley's office is his secretary, Mrs. Donnette Harrison, and Mrs. Margaret Lacey is the person who keeps guidance records and the IQ files. At the attendance desk are Mrs. Natalia Con- ner and Mrs. Josephine Burkeg and students are welcome to visit vice principals Robert E. Green and Claude M. Keesling at any time.

Mob scene. PHYSICAL ED To promote health for mind and body through accurate information and regular exercise: this could be the motto of the Shortridge physical education department. Those compulsory gym classes are no bore, though, with busy semesters of games. dances and rhythmic exercises for the girls, and basket- ball, baseball, calisthenics, and other activities for the boys. The new Health and Safety course which in- cludes Driver Training has become a welcome addition to the curriculum. Too many cooks . . . Coordination plus. HOME ECONOMICS Glimpses of lovely dresses and the aroma of mysterious baking floating down the hall are tantalizing reminders of the activities of the home economics classes. Many a hungry Short- ridger passing the cooking lab just before lunch has had occasion to envy the busy students: and many a girl has admired the dress or suit another had made in her clothing class. A stitch in time . . .
