Many people feel that the current threat is perhaps the most serious in recent years. Over the next two months several hearings will be held to determine whether or not Shortridge is, indeed, one of the indianapolis Public High Schools destined to bite the dust. But fear not, fellow Shortridgers, lust as this threat upsets many of us, it also draws us together. ln other words, Shortridge students, old and new, are again ioining together to fight off this ominous threat. How can you support your school? One is to be ready to attend any hearings or meetings that could influence the fate of Shortridge: and what better way to appear at the meetings or anywhere than in a shirt, sweatshirt or iacket emblazoned with the words Shortridge IS lndianapolis ? Yes, for only Sl.00 you can have this slogan silk screened on any article ot clothing you wish. Help show your school spirit by bringing your shirts, sweats, or any other garment, to room 320 where Ms. Cerola and her art energy team will print your garb from now until December l8, periods one through eight. The article of clothing, naturally is suggested to be either blue or wh ite. Don't let your school and all it stands for die without a tight, do your part to save Shortridge.

Ca- leb Mills Hall then filled with joyous voices as the Beginning and A Cappella choirs per- formed several selections highlighted with solos by Jaqueline Slatter, Berlynne Turner and Anthony Vinson. Tamar Whitted and Mark Durham surprised attentive listeners with a duet of Silver Bells. The evening came to an end soon after the band had aroused the audience with the energentic song Sleigh Ride. Toes tapped, voices car- oled, and memories were flooded by thoughts of happy holidays.

Vaudeville Acts Get Down To Business There's No Business Like Show Busi- ness, was the theme for this years Junior Vaudeville. Once again it was apparent that a lot of time effort, and emotion went into this theatrical production. To start off the show, some of Shortridge's own Devilettes performed a danceline to the Vaudeville's famous theme song. The first act continued the high quality of entertainment with A Neptune Interlude written by Edie Cassell and Dianna Maynard. lt was followed by The Last Remake of the Mummy's Curse, a comedy written by Mike Selby and Cyrus Behroozi which had the audience rolling on the floor in laughter. The third and final act was Homer's Odyssey written by Julia Wegner and Paul Galloway. Along with these three terrific casts, there were four intermission acts. Suzanna Mitchell sang, with a little help from her family, while Pat- rick Appleton daringly rode his six foot uni- cycle. Rhonda McNiel, Sarah Lobley and Kristin Johnson thrilled their viewers with stylish dancing. After the final curtain call a grand feeling of satisfaction filled those who attended and participated in this annual gala. A hearty congratulations is due to everyone who was involved in this years Junior Vaudeville for a fine job done. it s.., ww, ,QF All ROCHELLE BOYD AND Mark Durham give each other a smile of confidence as they see this yearsVaudeville form.
