Principals Coordinate Shortridqe Activities Joel W. Hadley, principal. At the control panel of the Shortridge space ship is Principal Joel W. Hadley, a real friend to each of his 2,600 crew members. As co-ordi- nator of all school activities and chief adminis- trator of the general policies of the school, Mr. Hadley does a great job. But through all his regular duties as principal of a large high school he manages to maintain a close relationship with the students. The achievements of the school and its pres- tige in the community are due to the hard work of this man, for this, he has earned the respect of teacher and student alike. Working with Mr. Hadley as co-pilots are Robert L. Green and Claude M. Keesling, vice- principals. It is their job to assist the students and faculty members with problems which may arise concerning schedules, attendance, school regulations, and discipline. Without these two men, much of the progress made by Shortridge in the last few years would not have been realized. Claude M. Keesling, vice-principal. Robert L. Green, vice-principal.

What great events in science will take place? None of these ques- tions has full answers as yet, but since history repeats itself, the SHS history department gives a clue to the future. In courses ranging from ancient history to international relations, Short- ridgers study about the world, past and present. Government and problems students in a spe- cial class comprehensively review history for college board examinations, while other double period classes visit industries for practical knowl- edge. itt, Miss lli-len l r:1z1-1- pf-rley, Mrs. lxllllilivl str-in, lCulw1't Nippon' Ixulhrvn Smith. llnrn N1 l15', Roy Aliersun. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English, our language, is an essential part of every Shortridger's curriculum. From English I to VI, we learn the basic concepts of our language. Journalism I and II offer opportunities for fledgling reporters to try out their wings, while journalistic correspondence helps more advanced newsmen write for city papers. English VII and VIII supply the whole pano- rama of English literature. Senior English, Com- position I, and Advanced Comp, a college prepa- ratory course, are given to seniors. Dramatics, public speaking, and radio speech teach the Shortridger to express his language eifectively. HISTORY FACULTY- Ilow 1: Miss LJUl'1HilY letf-rsnn.
