Bell, the first high school in Indianapolis was established, and it is from this beginning that our present large and widely known Shortridge High School, named for one of its founders . ti 7 at at ., G ., , OR Y-EI H years ago, under the . fr - .,t-se a, g Nl . f. V n vi Hi amd. Bt i M has grown. This first school opened with twenty-eight students, who, not having reached high school standing, were given a year's preparation. Definite high school work began in 1865, and the first class was graduated in 1869. During this period the school had been growing, until finally it became necessary to buy the old Second Presbyterian Church on the Circle. This was remod- eled into a three-story building, the first floor being used by part of the grammar school gradesg the second by school offices and second, third and fourth years of the high schoolg and the third fioor by the first year students. By 1870 an additional change was needed, so the Baptist Seminary, which stood where our old building now is, was purchased and enlarged. Mr. Bell, whose untir-' ing .efforts had been greatly instrumental in placing the school on afirm foundation hd'.dh ' ' 8 a resrgne is positron as principal in 1869. For the three years following, Mr.- Bond was principal, being succeeded by Mr. Brown in 1872. The higft school remained here until 1884, but not without changes. in its princi- pals. Mr. Junins B. Roberts, who has ever been one of Shortridge's most loyal friends, entered the ofiice in 1874, remaining until 1880, when he was followed by Mr. Grant. During Mr. Grant's term was erected the present old building, which, after twenty-five years, is still in good condition. in 1887 Mr. George Hnfford became principal, and during the fourteen years he was associated with the school, by his efficient management of school affairs and close intimacy with the students, he exerted a lasting inliuence upon all who ltnew him. Meanwhile, Shortridge had in- creased in enrollment, and had outgrown the building to such an extent that an addition ol eight rooms was made in 1901. At this time Mr. Hull became princi- History of Shortridge Br PlilllP LEWIS History of hortridge , .4-K -,.,, pal for one year, being followed by Mr. Benton, who more perhaps than any other, succeeded in making Shortridge an institution of recognized worth over the country. With such leadership, Shortritlge could not fail to grow, and in 1904 a great and beautiful addition was made in the shape of the present new building. This annex contained spleudidly equipped chemistry, zoology and botany laboratories, an assembly hall seating sixteen hundred, a lunch room, a gymnasium-indeed all that one could wish to had in a well-appointed school. With the erection oi this building a new e1'a dawned for Shortridge: the old Shortridge ot inadequate facil- ities had become a thing of the past, and the Shortridge ior which teachers and students had long hoped--a Shortridge with the best oi modern equipment-had become a reality. The Shortridge of today was here. The Shortridge of today is known over the country by all educators as an insti- tution ol high ideals and tine spirit. People ask the reason for the united feeling here. It is due in part to the Shortridge Daily Echo. Few schools have sufficient in- itiative to publish a daily paper oi four pages such as Shortridge has published for thirteen years. This paper, which is read by 750 subscribers day by clay, helps to bring the students closely together. Through its editorials dealing with school activities, its accounts oi the numerous club meetings and of athletics, its store of locals and slams, the whole school is placed on a common ground. Another factor which aids in the making of a distinctive Shortridge spirit is the Wednesday exercises. Once a week the entire student body assembles in the audi- torium to hear some well-known speaker or musician, or better still, to hear what is known as home talent, that is, our own teachers and students. There is nothing which brings the freshmen more quickly into the life of the school. The -students of all classes gatherg the freshmen see how the upper classmen actg they feel that they are a part of the institution 5 they breathe the Shortridge air 3 in fact, right there they become real Shortridgers. When we oi the class of 1912 look back over our four years, we see the ad- vances of Shortridge before our very eyes, and we realize that in this brief time a vast deal has been done to make the Shortridge that we know, the Shortridge that it is. We may take a justihable pride in our share in the school activities, and a large . i' 1' ' share it has been, too. The Echo has grown steadily, both in size and support. The school has grown to be a city of eighteen hundred inhabitants, .our own class ontstripping all preceding ones in numbers. Six rooms have been decorated during our time, one by the direct efforts of '12, and all by the assistance of seniors. Before we entered Shortridge the old system of inter-scholastic games pre- vailed, but it was abused to such a degree that the school board rightly withdrew the privilege. In our freshmen year, we witnessed the first trial oi intrafscholastic athletics. In the few years following, the seniors have been not a little instru- mental in helping to make this plan a wonderful success. There have never been so many students participating in the games nor so much enthusiasm as at present. We have brought Soccer football into prominence in Indiana, with the result that many schools over the state have followed our example. The abolishment of the old sys- tem was one of the best things that could have been done for Shortridge. The old antagonism, hero-worship and false patriotism have given way to a higher order. In addition there has been a large number of girls in athletics. Basketball leagues have been formed, tennis tournaments held, hockey brought into favor--all in the last two or three years, and in a great measure done through the efforts of senior girls. Here in these few words we have related the history of our school and have described the chief activities in which the class of 1912 has taken part. And we may rest assured that with Mr. Buck still at the head, Shortridge is destined to con- tinue on its prosperous course, for he has won the respect of all by his judicious- ness and kindliness. But the true spirit of Shortridge is indeed difficult to convey in words. Those of us who witnessed the impressive exercises at Mr. Benton's departure do not need to be told. Every real Shortridger understands. Deep in our hearts there is a feel- ing of love and pride at the mention of Shortridge, which fills us with joy at her great progress and with a longing todo something for her welfare. This is the spirit which makes us seniors, at our graduation, feel so strongly our regret at leaving this -school, whose memories will linger with us forever. More than ever before we realize the lasting impress made upon our lives by the high teachings and ideals of Shortridge High School. History. of Shortridge ...J fr -1-1 l !4 fill V21 C . If 4 'f .

'I i.f,.L-Q f, Q' ' G the cycle of the year there comes a time, more often to some households than to others, alas! too often to my own, in which the sacred household gods are trampled under the hurrying feet of red- facec scrub-women, and swept ruthlessly out of doors by the active brooms of smut-hesmothered matrons in blue calico turbans. I am, I can say, truly do- mestic, and my nature is therefore much upset by these regular excavations. I am really quite a dreamer, and would prefer to live in rooms festooned with cohwebs than to undergo the confusion accom- panying their removal. I have always had a strange fellow-feeling for cobwebs that I never could explaing and therefore when I see them, my friends, being .X swept out along with the ill-fated gods, I am strange- ly moved to pity. Even in my early childhood a strange fancy grew upon me. It took that form which fancies and hobbies often assume-of a propensity for collecting. My youthful feet roamed through away from the beaten paths of respectability. I sought the obscure-that which might turn up in out-of-the-way localities, or which might be turned up by my plying feet from the depths of smoulder- ing bonfires or rain bedampened trash heaps. In thinking over this precocious pro- pensity, I am at a loss to determine whether my natural desire for dirt, or my ever- present wish for the foreign--something different from the everyday life of work- aday rnortals-was to hlameg but be that as it may, the spoils of these byway forays, in the form of anything from charred dumb-bells to cracked crockery, assumed pro- portions delightful to my young self, yet frightful to my guardian elders. Indeed, so vicious became the threats against these, my possessions, that as that fateful time, so disheartening to the spiders and gods, as well as to myself, once more was near at hand, I mounted guard in the toy-room, and assuming a Napoleonic posture, strode moodily up and down, defying any mortal to part me from my beloved pos- sessions. That day of din and satanic confusion did come at last, and I watched with dark alleys and wandered Ihe Discard Br I1Al WHITE The Discard ll it 'h ! lig c -1 I I : i fu sleepless vigilance overhead in the toy-room. Then, when I heard a sloppy, scratch- ing step ascending the stairs-a step which is only too familiar to me, and which could be made by nothing save a loose-shoed scrub-woman, I knew that I was soon to face the worst. I ground my youthful teeth and stamped viciously as though I were grinding the foe to death under my conquering feet, and then, my moral cout- age greatly augmented, hauntingly, disdainfully I hung open the door, and faced the approaching blue turban. I remember now that I had planned to look delianee at the foe, but, what with my extreme youth and the terrifying appearance of the stern egress as she stood there, red faced and arms a-kimbo, I quailed, and my Na- poleonic grandeur fell away from me like a veil. Them traps in there must go, growled she, with a majestic and significant arm sweep in the direction of my valuables. I wept, I remonstrated, I cast myself at the feet of the inexorable fiend, but to no avail. Must go! Alas! Must go I Those words, I heard them grinding in my ears as I knelt, red-eyed and trembling, over my treasures and slowly gathered them into my arms. Them traps -the indignity of it. I reached the yard with my cherished burden intact, and then, oh joy of joys! a thought struck meg I could and would not part with my dearly-beloved and long-hunted friendsg I would conceal them-and I did so. I stowed them safely away under the house and went my way relieved, but worried, stung by a guilty conscience. The days passed by, and I, not daring to visit my sooty friends for fear of detection, dragged out a weary life. The years have not wrought much change in my nature. I have never learned to discard. I am still a prowler, and consequently my home is over-filled, littered with useless trinkets that I cannot quite bring myself to part with. I am a coward -a moral coward. A visit to my wardrobe reveals the fact. My wardrobe is ex- tremely large 5 it contains the garment in which I was wed, and every succeeding garment used between that time and the present. Now that I am an old man, I can trace the changes in fashion for a great many years. From these facts my reader can see that my wardrobe is indeed large-but not elegant. There is but one coat in ten which possibly can 'oe worn, and among the mould of mouldy shoes but one pair in a score: yet my courage utterly fails me when I attempt to rid myself of these pests. Possibly I may use this suit during the summer, and I will wear these shoes around the garden in the spring. Truly I am a coward! IWTU ' I I 'truer sms ' Y IVNUMI HOURS' ma rs., p Q s 5 I0 r X A short time since, my wife, indeed a wily woman, inveigled, persuaded, or The drove me-I do not know which method she employed most-into moving. If there is one thing that displeases me more than house-cleaning, it is moving. It is more nearly fatal to the household gods-and also to myself. A day or so previous to this mad household eruption I met a kind and much respected friend on the street. I hear, he said, that you are soon to go through with an ordeal. I told him that I was, and that it was with great reluctance. Well, then, said he, let me offer a bit of advice. My home has always been over-stocked, and I was too weak to discard. But the last time I moved I sunnnoned all my courageg I did throw out my trapsg I burned, burned, burned, and now I'm ireeiyou don't know how good it feels to be free l These timely words of advice fitted in so perfectly with what I myself was thinking that I turned back from the errand I was then on, and with the words ringing in my ears, set out for my home, resolved to be free, at last, after many years of abject slavery. As I walked rapidly, my excited mind preceded me to where an enormous pack of old papers and letters rested together with many other odds and ends up in my room, and my breast heaved with grim determination to burn, east out, and destroy. Soon I burst into my room, still filled with that wild desire. Iliad madly grabbed up an armload of papers and had viciously crammed them into a basket, when lol my eyes fell upon a tiny pink envelope that I had dropped. I quietly sat down upon the floor and opened the note. My fraud strangely trembled as I read. I could not throw away this note-why, it was from-well, it does not matter from whom. No, I would save it. I resumed my task, with zeal much abated, and slowly sorted over the rubbish at my feet. At length, arising, stiff- kneed and weary, I compared the saved with the cast out. It was ridiculous! I picked up the little handful of papers to be burned-how small, how very small- and went my way. The result of it is that my roof still shelters that enormous pack of old papers, those odds and ends and what-nets, and will continue to do so, I suppose, until someone else falls heir to themg but even then they may remain as keepsakes. g Discard The Principal Man Br IEANNE SAWNER 'iiumwwmmo ry rg a r r 2 y Q cf?

I, lr r, I pk p 5 ' n., Y , L First of all, he is healthy, this Sliortridge Boy, and his health is not an exuberance 'of animal spirits alone but an unquestioned overflow of good humor. He has a decided breath of the out-of-doors about him, a certain breezy crispness, that reminds one of long tratnps in the fall of the year. He is polite, but before that he is sin- cere so that when the courtesy does come, it is worth while. I-fis sense of humor is predominant: he is always ready for fun-not a grind, by arty means. And then, in athletics, he is a clean, energetic participant who, be- lieving in fair play, goes into the game to win. As a result of this, he has the pose, the attitude of one who is 1nagerful, as Thrums would sayg or, if he is not a win- ner, he gives the secure feeling that he is capable of it when he feels it necessary. 'Of course., he has a generous peppering of faults, honest faults that only add to his ginger. He flanks enough to know the earthy taste of defeat, although not for that purpose. Indeed, he is de- lightfully human and has not even sprouted pin feathers where they say wings grow. But underneath it all, the fun and the good hard work, there's the soul of the thing, and he shows the Shortridge spirit here the same as on the field. There never was a time when truth and honor and fine feeling did not uplift him to a high seriousness although he would be the last to admit and even, perhaps, to realize it. He is faithful about his lessons most of the time, but he learns some big things, besides, that textbooks cannot teach. And after all, there's the promise of the man that is to be-the strong, clean, straiglitforward man that the world needs to do its work. e : . I. , , l l , ii- . ll l l do as l .' ' 1 She is a happy mixture of rain and sunshine, of seri- ousness and fun, enough of seriousness to keep her from frivolity and enough of sprightliness to make her thor- oughly good company. Hers is so straightforward a sincerity as to be almost boyish if it were not softened a bit by her womanliness. For she is not ashamed of being governed by her ideals, sensible, healthy ones, not by any means lacking in the loftiness and enthusiasm that her very youth makes charming. She is a better student, perhaps, than her companion across the page, but she has not yet acquired so well the gift of being a grace- ful loser. I-Ier strongest induence lies, however, in the quality of expecting much of other people, expecting much and gaining much, for she pays them the innocent compliment of believing in them. There is a strength about her, unconsciously springing from a wealth of school-girl experience wherein she has learned to symf pathize in misfortune aswell as in joy. Life is very beau- tiful to her because, of course, it should be, and then, because her very love of all beauty invests it and all its little every-day things with the romance of its own weaving. Day-dreams are not unknown to her, dreams where fairies have given place to less eery companions in the form of little hopes and desires of a wide useful- ness hereaiter. More perhaps than any other one thing. this wish to make the world better for the work her hands, can do, distinguishes her. And this is our Short- ridge Girl, spontaneous in spirit at one time, and per- plexed at another with the soulful depth of her inarticu- late feeling--a worthy playmate for our Boy-a striver after the rainbow of her happy dreams-and one who will fulhll at last, we hope, the ideals which our Alma Mater has impressed upon her. ,f .f' 1 f. - x A t-A , H. ae, . ,gg .1 ,, ,I fpifj' ff: ' r YW '- ,,,.,,a , li t l it ,r 'L , The Shortritlge Girl Br KATHARINE IAMESON Pine Tree lady Br MARY EIIZABETII ii0WE TNG Hs, .. e , vt 8 cra'bl'i'p y. if ' i' ' T s lip Qyafgqiwid i alsi . re s 2 ' wyaapype ii ffalliiie 'ye' l f li rbi M1 W N iff L ,dai rw-4-.v rl e, r If oflhri f i l ZWWL If JY www il ai!

And when across the window panes Her needles shake the light, it seems They say the morning time has come To wake me up from fairy dreams. fm RANDFA'llHl3R Willetts leaned wearily back in the massive uncomfortable chair. Perhaps its very mas- siveness was what wearied him. His frail, old-fash- ioned figure was not at home in this room of his. en s The whole room was too expensively old-fashioned. Grandfather closed his eyes, and his memory slipped easily back to the dear old-time sitting room with its yellow chintz curtains and its low white cl1airs,- 1 Amanthis' chair and Fatl1er's. Even now when Will called him Father, his memory caught a glimpse of the yellow and white cottage, of Aman- this and the children. He and.tl1e little tots would romp through the sunny rooms to where Mother was, and enjoy the usual game of tag around the sewing table till he thought they had played enough. When Father laid his hand on Mother's shoulder and she looked up and smiled, the children understood they were a bit too noisy. They laughed and skipped out tothe yard.-A light rap roused him. A girl of eighteen came eagerly into the heavy mahogany room and dropped down on the big four-poster. Grandfatl1e1', is all that furniture in the attic yours i Yes, Elizabeth. Grandmother andl kept house with it when your father was only a little boy. Grandfather gazed unseeing, straight ahead, for a minute, and Elizabeth decided to postpone her request and hear about the furniture. It's all so quaint, with those little. wreaths of yellow roses on the backs of the cl1ai1's, she said softly. How did you have the rooms? Were they in yellow, too? Y es, they were. And he painted a loving picture of the low chairs, the chintz curtains, the sewing table, and the dainty white dresser, as they looked in the sunny cottage years ago. Unconseiously Grandfather gave little touches of life in the cots rage, and this nnodern girl caught, glimpses of the simple happy life of a girl bride a half century ago, and of her handsome lrusband-glimpses of Amanthis and me, of her own grandfather whom she had thought of as always quiet and retiring.

Her eyes smarted when Grandfather Willetts came in to dinner that evening ou his crutches, and went through the ordeal of introduction to his daughter-in-law's guests. The next day Elizabeth boarded the street car clown town, her arrns piled high with bundles, and found a seat toward the back of the car. At the next corner a crowd that had been to see the old soldiers' parade pushed ing but they all made way when a prosperous looking business man helped frail, feeble Grandfather Wil- letts toaseat and intrusted him to the conductors care. Will then shouldered his way out without seeing his daughter. She had witnessed the whole affair, but was prevented from speaking to Grandfather by the crowd in the car. The man next to Grandfather just then gave his seat to a little brnsque old gentleman, who looked pleased to see some one his own age. One glance. at the stranger's ruddy face and little white goatee, and Grandfather instinctively called hint Major. a Well, Major, we got seats this time, didnt we? The other briskly answered the pleased wavering question. The noise ofthe car drowned their talk of the parade, but Elizabeth heard the Major ask, How old are y'? Eighty. And how old are you? Why, I'm eighty, too. Fuunyl' and the Major chuckled. You must've taken good care o' yourself to keep so young looking, Grand- father said half wistfully. Sho just go around likeayoung man! Then after a short silence, Where d'you live? With my son's folks. He looked sadly at the wrinkled hands holding his crutches. The young folks don't care anything about tts old people. No, they don't, the other answered slowly. A long pause, and the Major asked, Got your wife yet? No, brave you? HNOBI 'father sat thinking. Oh, Arnanthis- Grant.

Elizabeth had been working for two weeks on curtains and on valances for the white bed. When she had asked her mother if they could put the old white furniture in Grandfather Willettfs room, her mother had answered, Why yes, ii you think he would like it better. He never said anything about not liking the room the way it was, though. But the girl had stitched away on the curtains, knowing how much better Grandfather would like a white and yellow room. He had been gone two days now, visiting a friend on the other side of town 5 and the room was almost trans- fornred. A little later when Grandfather came slowly to his room, she was rocking in Arnantlris' chair by the window, and the afternoon sun lighted up the bowl of yel- low roses on the sewing table. One startled gasp at the door, then Grandfather Wil- letts dropped into Fathers chair and bowed his gray head beside the bowl of yel- low roses. Elizabeth came softly and laid her hand on his shoulder. The young folks do care, Grandfather, and added to herself, when they know. His answer was, HAlll8l1filiSiH O, the Lady hloon walked in a puddle tonight, A puddle of crinkly cloud, And the stars, they laughed and I saw them wink When they huddled up close in a crowd. But they grew quite pale when the Lady Moon Came out of the cloud again. For they knew they shouldnt have laughed, and so I think that their tears were the rain.

I was made by his father, good old Herr lager,-you have no doubt heard of him, in his time the most noted clock-maker in Hernburg. Those were the good old days! Then were real sterling qualities recognized and appreciated-not china hnmbugs! Old Herr Jager used to say I was the best friend he ever had. Many's the time he would conlide to me his successes or failures in liie, over his stein or bread and cheese, and I would tick back my congratulations or sympathy.

Edwards iamer brought it over from Germany. r His own father made it ages ago. I guess it is rather valuable on account ol its age, you know. Then I always did prefer furni- ture with a history, as it were, rather than these pretty little bits of bricfa-brac, such as French clocks and the like, don't you know P So it is that I have at last come into my own. It is a rather different homage than was mine in the humble cottage of Hornburg, yet at that it is not distasteful. As lor my pretty neighbors, the Dresden shepherdess never quite recovered from the shock of Mrs. de Style's visit, soon after she fell off the mantel and broke into a thousand pieces. And the little French clock. She now graces l3ritlget's humble dressing table that she may warn that damsel with her noisy ticking when it is time to rise.

Lewis Katharine jameson Art Editor joseph Davis I Assistant Editors Mary K. Southwick Bernice J. Vaughan Jeanne Sawyer Ralph N. Phelps Oliver Hamilton M It was in the ninth century that King Alfred the Great wrote the tirst English Chronicles. He went back as far as books could take him, and brought the history up to his own time. When he died, others took up the work, and in turn passed it on, so that now we have, unbroken, the history of events. The purpose of these his- torians was to portray the characters of the leaders of their times and of the people as a wholeg to describe their customs and appearanceg to relate their joys and pleas- ures as well. as their hardships and struggles, so that succeeding peoples might prolit by the experiences of their predecessors. It is indeed a far cry from the Chronicles oi King Alfred to our own work. But we in Shortridge are a little country in ourselves, and it seems only littiug that we, in our snralg way, should describe the characteristics of the leaders here in school and of the students as a whole, our habits and peculiarities 3 and that we should relate our pleasures and good fortunes as well as our misfortunes, so that succeed- ing classes may prolit by our experiences and be the wiser for them. So we have taken up the work where it was left by last year's class, and striving, as have all others, to outdo our predecessors, we have at last completed our task with a result which we earnestly hope will meet the approval of every teacher, student and graduate. Soon the curtain will ring down on our life here, and Shortridge will know us no more. In different parts of the country we shall act our various roles amid new scenes. But ii, years from now, one oi us should chance to pick up this chapter of the history of Shortridge High School, and recall pleasant memories of the old teachers, students, games and clubs, then our work as editors and collaborators has not been done in vain.

Pennants and banners, large and small, were used entirely, with a very pleasing result. Invitations were issued to the juniors, Seniors and Faculty. The afternoon proved to be all that could be desired, for a large crowd gathered early. After the students had joined in the grand march the dancing began. When the program was half completed, during the intermission 'Mary Southwick, the junior Vice-President, presented a beautiful basket of flowers to Edna Schnull, who headed the honor roll of 1911. Seniors have never been the guests at a prettier or more attractive reception. It was done through the industry of the class as a whole, and especially through the efforts of Mrs. Carey. We hope that we may enjoy as pretty a reception as did our predecessors. Tire Shortridge Senior promenade, given by the present seniors, was without ques- tion one of the most successful proms, in all particulars, ever held here. President Burns started the preparations early by appointing the various connnittees and setting them to work. Tom Noble, chairman of the decoration committee, deserves a great deal of credit for the originality of his work The committee departed from the custom of former years, in the omission of the paper flowers. Instead, they used green and white streamers, and at a less expenditure of work and time, soon made the gym- nasium a beautiful place. Lester Brown and Nora Thomas, chairmen of the punch and candy booths, respectively, were able to satisfy the hunger of the crowd. Mary South- wick was responsible for the attractive programs, and Walter Weidely arranged a popu- lar musical program with the Douglas Orchestra. Tlms the preparations were made for the important event which took place Friday evening, january 26. By eight o'cloek the throng had filled the gymnasium floor, until dancing was difficult. The merry-makers kept all the booths busy every minute, and were indeed loath to leave after the program was over. And then the money! Everyone was willing to add a little to the class treasury, and after the crowd departed, it was found that the net proceeds were 8237.69 This was sec- ond only to the mark set by the same class at its junior prom. So, in this, its third and last entertainment, the seniors, committees, and all who came, combined to make the Senior prom of 1912 the finest yet held. lunior Promenade Senior Promenade r ,A Senior Qi..

Although by the same author as the mai 'll play, JustOut oi College, this proved to be entirely dif- LJB ei ' . e ferent, being a comedy of more strength of plot, of deeper thought, and oi more difficult action. The try-outs were called on March 19, and ninety-two loyal Seniors carrie forth with popular ditties, dainty verses, classic selections and dramatic passages, which were poured forth into the critical ears of Messrs. Livengood and Porter. The selection of twenty people from a talented, enthusiastic group of ninety-two was no easy thing, but after three days of strenuous trials and breathless expectations, the cast was chosen. Then followed days of rehearsals, in which Mr. Porter proved himself to be the bravest of the brave, until the eventful afternoon and night of May 24, when the rise of the curtain throughout the four acts oi The County Chairman brought to view a cast of actors and actresses that carried the quaint satire on politicsg the pretty interwoven love storiesg the wholesome, sparkling glimpse of Hoosier life, with such an understand- ing and in such a delightful way that many were the laughs, the heart throbs, the dol- lars that were given up hy the two large, satished audiences.

'Q EO' A - t I X30 t .J , J I !5 A w N 1 lrIOls'l'RlDGliR0 have been witnessing year of athletics, in gg? ' which every mrhvidual sport has outstnpped its record for pre- ' y 1 vrous seasons. ln the last three years, athletics in Shortridge . have been on a rise, every branch coming in for its share of wi good fortune, until in this, our last year, the climax has been omg gg, , reached. W Q The early autumn sports. tennis, cross-country and soccer, ' 1 lirouglrt out one lumdred boys, all enthusiastic over the pros- pects. These conditions made it possible foreach of the four soccer teams to have sev- eral substitutes. lmagine liity boys turning out on soccer afternoons, all eager to play, and all given the opportunity. At the satire time a dozen boys were out working for the linal C. C. C. runs. Under the old conditions would one have been able to see this? Barely half this number used to be able to get into a game on an afternoon. The large work of the fall semester, was the advancing of soccer football as a popular game over the State. Shortridge boys, with lllr. Nicolai, went on a pilgrimage to a couple of schools and taught the students there how to play the game. In the fall of 1909, our sophomore year, 123 boys were certified, but this number dropped to 57 after the next marks. ln 1910, as there was no soccer, only 67 boys were in athletics, and this was reduced to 48 by the marks. With the coming of basketball, athletics took a new lease on life, and along with track practice, held the stage. The post-season aml alumni games served to keep the school on edge even into April. ln lielnuary, 1912, there were 166 boys certified forthe late winter and spring sports. .kt the same time last year, there were 127 boys at play, three more than in 1910. The girls, too, are keeping pace with the forward movement. The last two years have seen a large increase in the mnnber of girls participating in the various athletics open to them. Tlrere has also been a widening of the girls' athletic opportunities. ln 1909 the mnnber of girls out for sports was only 24. which mnnber dwindled to 12 at the beginning of the second semester. llut in the fall of 1910 the nmnber was 55. and in 1911 it was increased one. bliss llosmer's untiring efforts have been the main power in making the girls' athletics more popular, and it seems that the girls will continue en- thusiastic for years to come. Still another important incident in the current athletic year, was the laying of the cork track. All last year. the building of a new track was agitated, but to no purpose. Late in the year an envelope collection was taken, bringing 3350 to the fund. This year the Athletic lloard determined to get the money and build the track at once. They ar- ranged an entertainment in the auditorium which netted seine 095. The school responded in a splendid manner to the aid of the track fund. All sorts of schemes were devised by which to raise the necessary money. Achnission was charged to the post-season basket- ball games, and to the alumni game. Miss Dye's students held candy sales, and in addi- tion she presented the Peace Day Pageant alter weeks of preparation, and turned over the proceeds to the track. The gymnasium students gave an exhibition 3 under lvl iss Don- nan's direction, the Senate presented a playg the members of the Sleepy Eye Club gen- erously turncd over the procecdsol their entertaimnent to the cause. All these and others were the plans used. The whole school was imbued with the idea to do something for the track. with the result that new we have it. . it-' 1- Review of Athletics Soccer FTER an absence of one season, soccer once more came into favor, and following a iall of hard-fought games, bids fair to remain as one of our major sports. The ball was started by the announcement of the managers and captains, and it never ceased rolling until the last games were over. Following are those who were chosen to lead the teams: W hites--Mr. Taylonmanagerg Renick, captains Reds- Mr. Blair, manager 3 Ray, captain: Blues- Mr. Schorling, man- agerg Burns, captains Grays-Mr. Kingston, manager: Mantel captain. Over one hundred boys attended the first mass meeting when the teams were chosen, and a like number assembled in a' week to hear how the game was played. On October 12, the first games were played, the Blues defeating the Reds, and the Grays winning over the Whites. In the next games the Whites gave the Reds their second defeat, while the Blues and Grays tied. The next day's playing saw the Whites and Rees go down to defeat before the Blues and Grays respectively. The Reds revived sufficiently to stop the Blues in the following round, while the Gray road-roller took care of the Whites. The Blues again lost, this time to the Grays, while the Reds punished the Whites. Then Soc- cer Day was observed. All the teams were closely hunched, although the Grays had not yet tasted defeat. The Reds, however, held them to a tie ou Soccer Day, and the Blues got into the winning habit at the expense of the Whites. The Whites then surprised all by taking the leaders into camp, and the Blues-took another step forward, continuing it by giving the Grays their second defeat. Not until the last day was the pennant finally de- cided, the Grays finally winning and carrying off the championship. The Blues were a close second and the Whites finished a bare half game behind them, while the Reds brought up the rear. A large number of stars were developed in the course of the season, which made the task of selecting the S men very difficult. The S was finally awarded to the following: Burns, Ray, Mantel, Renick, Guffy, and Terry. Those who did good work throughout the season were placed as follows on Mr. Nicolai's first team: First, Mantel, captaing Moore, Guffy, Terry, Quigley, Findlay, Ray, Redick, Spiegel, Burns, Freeland and No- blegsecond, Burns, captain, Gibeney, Greer, Sayers, Jarvis, Naylor, Lieber, Thompson, Gastineau, R. Stephenson, Claypool, and Lewis. l. second major sport of the Shortridge athletic curriculum, namely Basketball, enjoyed just as successful a season as its forerunners. The school has never evinced so much interest in a league race, and the uncertainty of the victors up to the last games caused the gymnasium to be packed every afternoon. After a preliminary basketball mass-meeting and the selec- tion of temporary teams, exhibition games were held to get a men. Burns, Fauvre, Carll and Findlay were chosen captains ofthe Blues, Whites, Reds and Grays, respectively. The season finally opened on january 15, when the Whites and Reds started off with victories. In the fifth round of games the Blue machine finally found itself, and started on its sensational climb at the expense of the Reds. The Whites began to feel the loss of Ray, the best player in the league, and were at last humbled by the Reds, while the Blues defeated the lowly Grays. The Blues continued their uphill work, and took five out of the six next games. Meanwhile the Whites and Reds were fighting it out, so that on March 6, these teams formed a triple tie for first, with eight won and five lost. Ray jumped back into the White's lineupand aided them in their final games, Fauvre's team finally clinching the pennant in the next to the last series. The Blues finished one game behind, followed by the Reds, who were in turn one game behind, while the Grays brought up the rear. Then came the monogram series. Burns and Fauvre were made captains of the Blues and Whites, respectively. The stars of all the teams were on these squads. Burns' team lined up as follows: Forwards, Barr, Mooreg center, Burnsg guards, Benham, Sayers. Fauvre's team was as follows: Forwards, Davis, jarvisg center, Fauvreg guards, Carll, Busehmann. The first game was as fast as any ever seen here. The Whites started out well and finished the first half with a 14 to 10 lead. Then both sides started off with sensational plays, and baskets were made thick and fast. The Blues finally triumphed 36 to 25. In the second and final game, the Blues jumped into the lead and finished the first half six points to the good, finally winning 35 to 21. The Athletic Board awarded the S to Burns, Fauvre, Barr and Davis, the latter two winning the basketball S for the second time. line on the ability sketba xhe Butler authorities, the team was able to begin outdoor T 'W ' ' HE Track Team at last year's State Meet was composed of inex- l KWMY itwa by tb 1 If at La , I in spi White was elected captain.

About three weeks be- work on a good track at an ea tion oi Mr. Moore, and the at fore the state meet took place, the long heralded Junior-Senior meet carrie off. The un- derclassmen who wished to take part were apportioned to the two upper classes, and the events were in ditiercnt-divisions, so that everyone might have a chance. The juniors easily won the meet, White, Noble, Burns, Coburn, Mantel, Cox, and jones being the big point winners. For the Seniors, Morrison, jumbo Wilson and Phelps were the main- stays. At the state meet, as has been said, the youth and inexperience oi the team told strongly against the bunch. Competing as they were against fellows who were older and larger, it is hardly to be wondered that they returned unsuccessful. Tommy Noble, Co- burn aud White iailed to score by the slightest of margins, Noble running third in the fastest heat oi the day, whereas others in slower heats placed. With Vernon Burns at the head, and all the squad more experienced, the fellows expect to accomplish things this year on May 18. i HE baseball season of 1911 was remarkable chiefly for the devel- opment oi one of the strongest teams which has ever played in the Shortridge League. Toole's Grays, who went through the season with the loss of only one game, were strong in every de- partment and well deserved their honors. The call for baseball candidates was answered by one hun- dred boys who were chosen for the Gray, Blue, White, and Red teams by Captains Toole, Quigley, McNeely, and Burns. In the ran away from the Blues 25 to 8, while the Whites defeated the Reds l3to 8. ln the next games the Grays and Whites were again victorious. During the next series the Blues took the measure of the Whites, while the Grays triumphed over the Reds. In the following contest with the Reds the Grays suliered their only defeat of the season by a score of 7 to 4. At the same time the Blues were proving their supe- riority over the Whites by defeating themil to 1, Parry Ward pitching a one-hit game for the victors. At the end of the season the oliicial S was awarded to the live men whom the ath- letic board judged to have done the best playing during the year. These men were Heu- dricks, Wilson, Aaron, and Toole of the Grays, and Phelps of the Blues. lslendricks set anew strike-out record for the league and had for his battery mate Capt. Toole. junta bo, with his bat, was the winning factor in many games and also played a fast game on the infield. Aaron covered a large territory in the outfield anrf was a sure hitter. Plrelps was the mainstay of the Blues, covering much territory in the shortfreld and breaking up several games with a timely hit. Others who player. well were hleNeely and Buschmann of the Whites, Quigley, Ward, and Watkins for the Blues, and Cooley for the Reds. The season of 1912 has had an auspicious start in the selection of managers. and cap- tains. The managers are Messrs. Overman for the Reds, Nicolai for the Whites, Mueller for the Grays and Dirks for the Blues. These men chose as their captains, Buschmanu, Watkins, Renick, and Jarvis, respectively. With these boys as leaders and such a fund of star players, the league is sure to experience another successful year. first games the 1 830 hall Tennis Cross Country . Club HE autumn tennis tournament of Shortridge High School out- stripped all others in several respects. There were more entries, A, better prizes, and better playing than ever before. Under the management of the Tennis Club, with Harlan r Hadley, president, and George Jarvis, treasurer, the contests 7 kd were started Saturday, September 23. Thirty-four boys were entered in the singles, and they furnished some real playing the ' very lirst day. The strrprises of the tournament soon proved to be Jack Eaglesfield and john Hare. But with such men as Hadley, who was at that time champion, Bieler, Jarvis, Loughmiller, Kilman, lluenting, Burns, Wilson, Buschmann, and many others, the path of the victor promised to be difficult.

After some of the best playing ever seen here, aly won -the championship.. the doubles, Eagleslicld and Hadley joined forces and were picked to carry honors. it L a hard time at the very start in disposing of the Kilrnan-Loughmiller team. The Hare-liosson team, by steady work, reached the semi-linals, when the Jarvis-llieler team, one of the best in the tournament, succeeded in stopping them. The Burns-Buschmann combination proved to be a strong one, and by their occasional spectacular playing, reached the semi-iirrals, only to be defeated by the Hartley-eliagleslicltl pair. who next defeated Jarvis-Bieler and won the championship. Hadley, since he had won the singles in the 1911 spring tournament and was on the winning doubles team, received an HS. The cross country runs of 1911 were the hrst of the year, and were so successful that a high water mark was set, which was dillicult for the other sports to equal. Captain Harris Cox started work early and on September 25 had his club-mates on a short run. The boys ran regularly for the next two weeks and kept in trim forthe big Terre Haute-Indianapolis relay run. The majority of the participants in this event were Shortridgers and all did a big share of the running. On October 24, the lirst of a series of hare and hound runs was heldg all the boys working up to the linal run, held late in November. Captain Cox, winner of the 1910 run. was expected to win the big event, but was forced to stop his running on account of heart trouble. This left the lield open to dark horses? The course was the same as for the previous year, starting from the Riverside Pavilion to the Emrichsville bridge and return. Vernon Burns, Albert Quigley, Harry Jones, Alfred Troemel, Eugene Brown. and Allen Greer started in the race. Burns took the lead before the half-way mark was reached, and setting a fast pace, finished an easy first, being followed by Greer, who in turn was trailed by Jones. Burns cut about four mimrtes from the previous record. He received an S, while Greer and Jones received C.C.C. monograms. l ' 3 I -n- - I- I - , , K f AST year, the hockey season opened September 26 with about L4 tlnrty grrlsr-the largest number that has evercome out for out- Qfqgeggi door athletics. Enthusiasm was the most distrngtnslnng feature lego.. p'!4-,.d of the playing throughout the season. Contrary to the belief of I some, the girls were not going out to the held each week for the xx 9 mere aim of making scores or winning S's. They went out for an-pe ' the fun and recreation, and they got it. The two teams were captained by Ada Crozier and Dorothy Vestal, the latter's team winning the most games. The final contest, according to Coach liosmer, was the best game that the Shortridge girls have ever played. It was marked by excellent spirit and line team work. The game was won by the Croziers, who had been handicapped all the season by the non-attendance of all the members. Those hockey girls who received Old English S's, according to the Athletic Boards plan of awarding the rnonograms, were Nora Thomas, Dorothy Vestal, Ada Crozier, and Bernice Vaughan. At the close of the season, Miss Hosmer selected the following eleven girls as the best players for an all-star team: Center forward, D. Vestal. Right center field, A. Crozier. Left center field, N. Thomas. Right tield, C. Rice. Left field, C. McCormick. Center half back, M. Winn. Right half back, M. Doan, W Left half back, E. Sickles. Right lull back, B. Vaughan. Left full hack, R. Harvey.

It may remain so all four years or she may be gradually weaned away from it as her aca- demic work becomes heavier. No matter which is the case, she always looks back on her gym days as her merriest.

It is a signal lor fancy dress costumes, stunts, eats, --in short, the annual irolic. lf llallowe'en is foyonsly, how must Christmas be received?

Twice every year the girls hold open day for their parents, who may then come and see what sort of work their daughters are engaging in. At this time. the instructor gives a lecture on the gymnasium work that is taught the girls, and why it is benelieial. At the end oi the year, the boys and girls give a joint exhibition, the proceeds of which are used for new apparatus. This performance is given in order that the public may see to what advantage the Shortridgers are using their line big gymnasium. To Miss llosrner is due the credit of arousing enthusiasm for gymnasium in such a large number oi girls. lt is she who has so willingly given such a great amount of extra time so that she might interest and help all ol them. lt was she who, with the aid of Mr, Allen, instituted the annual exhibition, which has been so successful for the last three years. A gynmasiurn alone will not move all girls to love exerciseg it takes the energy and force oi an able instructor to do that. Miss Hosmer came to us three years ago from one of the the best gymnasium schools in the country, bubbling over with energy and a generous supply ol genuine enthusiasm for her work. So marked has been the advancement in girls' gymnastics since her coming, that the Sbortridge girl has every reason to be proud of her gymnasium, and we may add, her instructor. l , , HIS year the basketball girls adopted the boys' league. system, and four teams, captained by Clara Wilson, Marcia Doan, Nora Thomas, and Mary Southwick, were forrned. The girls found this plan to be more successful than the old method where the floor was being monopolized by only two drst teams, on ac- count of the greater number of girls that could be used. Un- der the new system, more girls have been enrolled for basket- ball than have ever been before. A number of the younger girls out for hrst teams, and some very good material was discovered. Besides the reg- ular squads, each captain had a second team upon which she could depend for sub- -stitutes. These second teams practiced on Thursdays, while Monday was reserved for the first team players. The girls were enthusiastic in the support of their teams and spirit ran high-often too high for the existence of truly good basketball. But the girls had their recreation aml fun, ami as a whole, the season was a good one. Those receiving Sb last year were Ada Crozier, Clara Wilson, Mary Southwick, and Hazel Gay.

Many irnprovernents, such as an enlargement of the page, and new type, have been made during the past few years, so that the general trend of v g L ! 'Dbl c ments, gave place to a four-page paper the next year. Although 1 r the papers advance has been steady. ' The year 1911-1912 has been in every sense of the word a banner year. The pri- mary cause ol this was a great increase in the nunrber of subscriptions. This placed the paper on a sound hnancial basis, and also left money for several special editions, these being the Thanksgiving, Christnras, and Mid-Year nunrbers, and the Friday Special. The hrst three narued were issued in magazine ionn and all had attractive covers. The Friday Special is issued weeldy in conjunction with the regular Friday edition. It is, however, under the direct charge ol Mr. Otto, leading manager. ln this issue are to be iound stories, verses, clippings, humor, etc., which are contr'ibuted chielly by persons not active members of an iicho stall. Each oi these dil'lerent special editions was a good bit ol worlc and helped not a little to increase the good narne of the Echo. , M r. Gtto and Mr. Miller have been in charge of the paper this year, and it is due chielly to their excellent rnanagement that the paper has prospered so rnarvelously. Miss Donnan, Mr. Livengood and Miss McConnell, Mr. Otto, Mrs. Carey and Mr. Forsyth have acted as censors on the issues in their respective order. Austin Clifford, Ralph Thomp- son, Vernon liurns, and William Daugherty occupied the leading positions on the Mon- day, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday editions. 'llrc election oi Philip Lewis to the position of editor-in-chief of the Annual, made it necessary that he give up the position of Thursday editor to Lester Brown. On the whole, Shortriclge should icel proud of her success along journalistic litres in l91l-1912. X Mit all alll-W .ills it Nw' PSU ltr :Till iii lr S538 I n s1Si'0-'J' r Q' A ' ' r 'Fo E ! Y. . 'figfg Y Q l-lli class of 1912 in its junior year chose as its enterprise the decoration of Room 4. This was an appropriate undertaking as an expression of the class's appreciation for its censor, Mrs. Carey, since Room 4 is Mrs. Carey's recitation room. The class raised its funds by a remarkably successful prom, and, turning its resources over to the censor, requested that she make use of them as her taste dictated The fundamental thought for the decoration is the quotation from I-Ieraclitus, Wipe not out the place ol the torch, and the winged torch, representing inspiration and progress, is the motif which predominates the whole. The buff-tinted background is divided into panels covered with Tiffany linish and bordered by garlands oi laurel leaves and berries. Among these garlands, at intervals. round motifs symbolize eternity, and between the panels and across the curtains at the back the signihcant torch is painted. The quotation from lleraclitus hlls the panel on the side wall opposite the windows. lint the principal fea- ture ol the whole decoration is the mural painting, designed and executed hy Miss Alma Grumann, a Shortridge ahnnna. The composition consists of allegorical figures repre- senting the progress of arts and the results of progress. On three panels across the front oi the room, Miss Grumann has carried otrt this idea in colors, so beautiful and unusual as to cause favorable comparison with masterpieces in their line. The design for every- thing except the mural painting was developed by the art department under Miss Selleck and applied by experienced decorators. The whole effect is a remarkable one of tasteful but very significant symbolism adapted so simply and practically to the requirements and limitations of a school room that it will always he a source of inspiration and enjoyment to the sttulents and teachers of Shortridgc. Moreover, various eminent art critics oi indianapolis and visiting connnittees of gentlemen have pronounced the decoration of this room superior to that in any other school room of which they had knowledge. On the afternoon of April 29, after several months of secret labor, the Seniors of Room ll presented an original comedy in three acts, the hrst attempt of the kind in the annals of Shortridge. lts success was complete, a sum of over a hundred dollars being cleared for the beneht of the decoration of Room ll. The following seniors collaborated in the writing of the play: Nora Thomas, Mary Southwick, Earl Stevenson, Lorene Jeffries, Dorothy Lewis, Edith Hendren, Winiired Sanders, Myron lelughel, Irma Ross, Erle Kihnan, and Clara Wilson. Room eceration ,W faxes , HIS year has been one of the most successful in the history of Ng the Senate. The increased enthusiasm and interest, as shown . 5 bythe larger attendance, prove that the students of Shortridge are eager to learn public speaking and parliamentary law. ag fs f ' The Senate had an abundance of good material for officers, V' ' ' A ami exercised good judgment in its selections. Sen. Blair iBar- Aix I nett Breedlovel was the hrst president, and was re-elected be- N 1312 Ah.. fx X AA, cause of his excellent rulings. Sen. Page flriarmon Brossl, Sen. Lafiollette fjolm Ir endersoni, and Sen. Newlands iiidith Robertsl ruled in the order named. The line minutes of Senators Thornton iConstance Brossl, McCnmber fKlon- nie Houckl, and Chilton t Mary Louise Averyj, reflected credit upon the whole body. Among the bills passed this year by the Senate are Sen. Blair's Anti-Capital Pun- islnnent Billg Sen. Newlands Direct Election of Senators Measure 5 Sen. Blair's bill prohibiting the use of third degree methods when obtaining confessions from criminalsg thc bill of Sen. Kenyon fReirl Kenyonl providing for the fortification of the Panama Canal Zone 3 the Supreme Court Bill, Sen. I-Iitchcoek ilrfarold Fishbeinl, authorg and the 'Wireless Bill of Sen. Bulcldey ilkfyron Hughell. The Recall Bill introduced by Sen. Root iSidney jonesi was the only bill defeated this year. Among the bills which have not yet been acted upon are the Underwood Tariff Schedule, a Woman Suffrage Bill, and a Government Ownership Bill. Some of the senators, besides the authors, who were prominent in the discussion of the bills, were Sen. Spooner iWilliam Cohnl, Sen. Frazier ilidward Eln'enspbe1'gerl, Sen. Works iLeon I-Ioolri, Sen. LaFollette, Sen. Hughes iffoweua Rayl, and Sen. Bankhead f Merle Cotterl. The Senate trial was exceptionally interesting. The trial corumittee, Sen. Newlands, chairman, Sen. Spooner, and Sen. Bristow ifiobert Brewerl, charged the defendant with selling stock in a bogus silver mine. Sen. Newlands was elected trial judgeg Sen. Blair. prosecutor, and Sen. Chilton, defendant. Sen. Briggs fWalter Edwardsl was attorney for the defense. The trial was one of the most exciting over held, and both the prosecu- tion and defense are to be congratulated upon their earnest work. The Senate gave a four-act play for the benefit of the cork track. The scenes rep- resented the troubles in Indiana politics, arising from the passage of an act which gave women the right to vote. The plot of the play was proposed by Miss Donnan, and Sen- ators Root, Laliollette, Bristow, and Bulckley were chairmen of the committees which wrote the various acts. The SCl'gC2tlli'ilf'3,l'IUS was in charge of the presentation of the play. Since its founding in 1887, the Senate has been one of the most popular, and probably the most famous club in Shortridge. It 'has been a powerful factor in teaching students public speaking and parliamentary law, and it has given its members a more thorough knowledge of the laws of this country, of the vital questions before the American peo- ple, and of the principles- of self-government than any other student organization' in the school. The permanent success of the Senate is due to Miss Dorman, its founder and ser- geant-at-arms, who has worked for it faithfully and brought it through many crises. W N December 5, 1911, the class of 1913 organized for its junior ,lf year. Albert Quigley was honored with the presidencyg Beulah -I House was made vice-presidentg Victor Bauer, treasurer, and 1 Esther Thompson, secretary. Early in the year heliotrope was . In ,jj j selected for the class color, the violet for the flower, and Lin- :5 ,ul la coln's splendid exhortation, Ab... ,La as n 11115 g , .3 Let us strive to finish the work we are in, was taken as a motto. Later the class decided to defray the expenses of the Detroit debating team, so that all Shortridge might enjoy the opportunity of hearing the Detroit-Sltortridge debate. A committee was appointed to consult with the Debating League and to arrange all the plans. The first appearance of the juniors on the social stage of Sltortridge was at the an- nual junior prom. The date was set for March 29, 1912. and preparations were started early. The decoration connnittee, under the leadership of George jarvis, worked the magic charms which transfornred the gymnasium into a veritable fairy realm of helio- trope in all its various shades. The committees, under Gordon Cummings, Garret Olds, Gladys Williams, and Maurice Tibbs were no less energetic and original in their work, and everyone in the junior class cooperated with the committees and displayed a won- derful willingness to help, and a beautiful class spirit. On that pleasant night of the 29th, the prom was attended by seven lnmdred and thirty Sliortridgers, their parents. teachers, aml friends, After the dainty hand-paintecl pro- grams. designed by Lucile Riley. were filled out, the large crowd of dancers carrie down to the gym. There the '13 pennants, festoons, and flower baskets graced the walls, and the great electrolier in the center shed its light tlrrough its lavender curtains over the dancers. When the dancing began, the music was easily heard by everyone by the aid of the newly built platform for the musicians, and the spotlight, operated by Robert Schinnnef. persistently followed the timid, and was the source of much enjoyment to all. About the middle of the program, carrie the 1913 Special, which was especially long, and character- ized by the little lighted windmill that turned merrily all the time. The candy and pine- apple ice were dainties ht for the fairies, and indeed the juniors almost believed that Titania had been helping them with her magic wand. when they found that they had talrcn in over 3250 at the prom. Although '13 is considerecl by many to be an unlucky number. the class of 1913 has not yet experienced any misfortuneg but it has been an exception to the rule, and has adopted many new ideas and plans. Yet, is it any wonder that the juniors have achieved such success, when they have enjoyed the inspiration of the beautiful nmral decoration placed in Room 4 by the class of 1012 P May its theme so influence them that they will finish the work they are in, with the spirit and success shown so far, under the faithful censor of the class, Mrs. Carey. i . ,.f-.ggi F Spielen were added tothe Verein's motto, Spreehen Heer- gfg my r en Singen, the purpose of this club would be well expressed: Gemiim E E- .gg - to hear, to sing to play. For it is not only a .study-club but a Ugly ,gg , a'N good-times cub, having succeeded in both roles. Tlremem' g gs' bers have learned many things in so pleasing a manner that all r ' . have enjoyed tireir taste of the Pierian Spring. From Ger- ug rrglizlw man poems and music, they have learned that German can appeal . 9' 4 to and satisfy the love of the beautiful in every one. Much credit for trese results shou student-cornmittees, headed by Miss M it it be given to the two efficient and enthusiastic dletou and Miss Nix, who have alternated in arranging entertaining programs for the meetings. They secured good speakers fora number of the meetings. Miss Middleton talked entertainingly on German Customs. Mr. Scherer spoke on travel in Gerrnauy, showing that the country districts are even more alluring than the great cities. T he address on the Spirit of the German Cities, by Professor Danton, of liutler, stimulated the imagination of many members. The Verein developed considerable dramatic talent. Several excellent dramatic pro- grams were given by the histriouically inclined members, including Der Neue Verein, in which the players appeared in picturesque German costumes. The meistersticlc of their dramatic season was Ala V erlobte Ernpfehlen Sich, the modern German comedy, which was given in the Auditorium, March 22, and that evening as part oi the program of the Nix Memorial Association at the German liouse. The club l1eldaChristmas meeting and an Osterfest, in German manner. At the former, Mr. Dirlcs, censor of the club, told in simple German, the stirring old tale ofthe first Christmas tree. A large and resplendent Tannen-haute, with ludicrous gifts for all, and German refreshments that tasted like more, helped to mal-ze this a true Christ- mas meeting. The Osteriest, arranged by Mr. Mueller, was held in the Ellenberger woods. Following several interesting readings, a symbolic group appeared, personifying Spring. After this well-executed tableau, the members enjoyed German games. At each meeting when these games were played, the teachers tool: part beside the younger mem- bers and seemed to have just as much fun. The club was favored with many instrurnental solos, good German music being a feature of most of the meetings. 5 HE year 1911-12 is a record year for the Shortridge Debating League, due largely to the untiring efforts of Mr. Otto. Eighteen men turned out for the lirst call, and elected Harry Jones pres- identg Ralph Thompson, vice-presidentg Earl Stevenson, secre- tary and treasurerg Samuel J. Mantel, Echo reporter, and Har- mon Bross, sergeant-at-arms. Later the membership increased to thirty-three. At the midyear elections, Ralph Thompson was elected president: Ellsworth Olcott, vice-presidentg Ralph Ste- phenson, secretary and treasurerg Frank Clippenger, Echo reporter. The feature of the meetings of the league were the tive minute talks by Mr. Otto. In these talks the censor gave the members much good advice and many valuable pointers. The league has held two open debates. One was given in the Auditorium, and was on the question, Resolved, That all state ofhcers should be elected by direct primaries. The aliirmative team, composed oi Harry jones. Ellsworth Olcott and Ralph Stephenson. was victorious over the negative squad, composer, of Leon' Hook, Garrett Olds, and Sidi ney jones. The other open debate was held in the study hall before the freshmen. The question was, Resolved, That party allegiance is preferable to independent action in local politics. The negative team, composed oi Thompson, Mantel, and Rross, won over the affirmative team, made up of Springer, Hughel, and Spiegel. In February, Shortridge challenged the Detroit Central High School to debate. The latter accepted the challenge and submitted the following question: Resolved, That Con- gress should establish an interstate corporation commission, similar to the interstate Commerce Commission, for the purpose oi regulating and controlling corporations doing an interstate business, such a commission to hx reasonable prices. Six men, Ellsworth Olcott, Ralph Thompson, Clair Kimber, Ralph Stephenson, Harry jones and Leon Hook. were selected to compose two teams. One team will go to Detroit and discuss one side of the question, while the other team will stay here, and meet a team which Detroit will send to Indianapolis to debate the opposite side of the question. The Debating League is greatly indebted to the .lunior class for its assistance in making the Detroit debate a possibility. When ways and means were being discussed by the debaters as to how money might be raised to bring the Detroit boys here, the juniors held a meeting and decided to finance the trip from the money made off the prom.

HE Shortridge Orchestra, under the direction ol Mr. liirgc, is 5: , ,' just completing one more successful cycle in the lristory ol its fCllCSiI'il ' M ,ji existence. At the mid-year the club was given a regular class N s it rating witlraweekly double period for practice. Publicly it has Q Q . - been heard frequently on Wednesday mornings, and has as- , sisted in the senior play and other school entertainments.

The orchestra boasts of a good cornet section with Frank Scribner, james Ingles, Nor- man Metzger and Henry 'Thornton assisting Morris Hamilton, solo cornetist. Harry Duncan and Lynn Dawson play the clarinet, while William Hay takes care of the trap drums. Kenneth Folger plays the trombone. The orchestra has confined itself to classical music this year and has studied such compositions as Anitra's Dance, from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite, Berceuse, from Godard's Jocelyn, llohm's Cairn as the Night, Clrarninarle's The Flattererf' Eilcn- berg's Guardmount Patrol, Franke's lntermezzo Russe, Friedeman's- Kaiser Freder- ick March, Handel's Largo, Pizzicati, from Delibes' Sylvia, Qnartette, from Rlgoletto, Lisat's Rokoczy, Cha1ninade's ScarfDance, Azbulka's Steplrarne, and operatic selections such as the Bridal Chorus, from Lohengrin,l' the Pilgrims Chorus, from Tannlrauser, Miserere, from ll Trovatoref' Coronation March, from Meyerbcer's The Prophet, the Prison Scene, from Faust, and Valse Lente, from Delibcs' ballet, Coppelia. Vivian johnson, Helen Tire Girls' Debating Club, although an entirely new and novel organization, has taken its place among the most prominent clubs ol the school. The enthusiastic and excellent work done by its many members is showing Shortridge that the girls can, and do, make a success of such an undertaking. Tire club was founded in November by Constance liross, aided in her work by Heulah House, Mary Louise Avery, ami Dorothy Clarke. Tire ollieers are: president, Constmrce lirossg vice-president, Marjorie Bassettg secre- tary, Mary Louise Avery. The club chooses its topics for debate front the vital subjects of the day. These promote lively and earnest argument and spirited rebuttal. For the purpose of obtaining such topics and of gaining reliable information about them, a com- mittee has been appointed to visit the State House at regular intervals, The committee is Florence Wood, chairman, Rowena Harvey, and Helen Sunnners. The club holds a debate every other 'l'lrursday in Room 3, the intervening meetings being devoted to the discussion ol business. Four regular teams were chosen, three girls in each,-tire rest of the members acting as substitutes or assistants. The club is greatly indebted for its progress and elhciency to the able censorship of Miss Dye. p A' ' C if 'U NDER the direction of Mr. Blair, the Glee Club was a decided success this year. Mr. Barcus, for several years the censor, was forced to resign on account of an increase in his other work, and so the managerial ofhce was given to Mr. Blair, who proved a most faithful, untiring worker towards the success of this musical organization. With Alwes, Little, Talbot and Schim- mel as a nucleus to build about, the season started well. By the end of the semester, there were about eleven regulars. At each appearance before the school, the club was well received. On one occasion the Anvil Chorus, with Charles Alwes as soloist, was given. The members of the Glee Club are Dunn, Hall, Kramer, Lee, Leeth and Schimmel, tenorsg Little, Bauer, Talbot, Conkle and Lieber, first bassesg Alwes, Twente and Shellhorn, second basses. As a result of Norman H. Hackett's address in the Auditorium, in which he la- mented the fact that there are so few organizations in the schools of this country for the study of Shakespeare and his plays, a movement was started in Shortridge to create a club for that purpose. Through the faithful and enthusiastic work of George Long and Robert Brewer, the Dramatic Club was formally organized on December 2l.. At the initial meeting twenty-nine charter members were enrolled. Mrs. Carey acted as censor while Lloyd Mellett held the position of chairman. A constitution drawn up by George Long was accepted as the governing organ of the body. George Long was elected presi- deutg Lucile Sanders, vice-president, and W inifred Sanders, secretary-treasurer. On the resignation of George Long in February, the presidency was tendered to Robert Brewer. The preliminaries over, the Shortridge Dramatic Club was launched on its begin- ning year of successful study of the drama. The first play interpreted was Much Ado About Nothing, which was followed by The Tempest, and a modern play, The Piper. These were lirst read and then reviewed as to source, history, plot, and poetry -a method of procedure which is to be used in the study of all plays. To better ac- quaint the members with the great Shakespearean actors who have made his plays live and have been the medium of carrying them to our hearts, a biographical sketch of some one of these is prepared and read at each meeting by a different member of the club. l Glee Club D Club ramatic french Club uudulin y lflub s HE French Club enjoyed an even more successful year than last, under the ehicient leadership of Mile. Redin and Miss Philputt. A new plan was followed in the fall sernester, and the club read and studied two or three French plays. On the coming of llfllle. Redin, the censorship was trrrned over to her. Near the tirst of the Year, the club elected its ofticers. Philip Lewis and lrving Fauvre were chosen president and vice-presi- .- dent respectively. llfllle. Rcdin entertained the club by an inter- esting talk on her experiences in France. At the next meeting Rowena Cosner gave a short talk on Napoleon, which was illustrated by a book of various and uurnerous pic- tures. Esther lllurplry tallied in an interesting manner on the life of ,lean Francois Millet, the noted artist. Mile. Redinund bliss Philputt led the lirenelnnen in some l rench games, whicr, though old-time, were new in point ol practice. Several interesting prograrns have been arranged which promise to keep up the good record and rnalre the club a more popular organization than ever. 'l'hns. thanks to the ctiorts of our two lirench teachers, the club is experieneinga splendid year. Alter an absence ol over Four years, a lllandolin Club has been added to the list ol nnrsical orgarrizatiorrs here. 'l'hrough the ellorts ol Lena lleasom, the musicians linally gathered early in November' and organized. Warren Curry was rnadc the conductor and Lena lsleasorn the president. Walter Weidely. who has ent'ertained the school several times, was secured as accompanist. lltliss Kunnner generously otlered her time and el- 'lorts to instruct the club. Alter several wceles, the organization made a very successful debut in the rhuditoriunr, and at once established itsell as a permanent and popular mu- sical club. The rnernlrerslrip increased, and the society began to lill several outside en- gagernents. The Clubs second appearance in the Auditorium was attended with great success, increasing with each succeeding one. Since its popularity is so evident and since only three members will be lost by gradtration, the lllandoliu Club bids lair to exceed this year s success next year and the years following. -iiut. . ., HE Wigwam Club was organized last year by Mrs. Mikels to promote in her English classes better acquaintance among the freslnnen. who had no organization exclusively their own and were too new to feel at home among the upper classmen. The lirst term the club read Cooper and enlirened its meetings with occasional warwhoops and relreshments. When the club r'eorganizetl in September oi this year, so many wished to retain H e memherslrip that it became necessary to admit others than mem- bers of hrst term English and to provide a new program. Accordingly debating was in- troduced and special study was made oi myths and classic stories. These subjects had, ol course, nothing to do with lndian lile, but the club had become so attached to its name that it refused to change it. lt has prospered exceedingly under such able presi- dents as Gordon hlorrison, Veruer liarrner, Bryant Gillespie and Harold Elirensperger. The Spanish Club organized late in .November with a large membership. At the tirst meeting the club discussed the great value ol Spanish in commercial and social life, and urgec. a regular attendance in order that the members get the benetit ol every lesson. The ohtieers elected were .Leon Hook, presidentg Harry jones, vice-president. and john Hencferson, secretary-treasurer. Under this administration and the able censorship of Mr. Mueller, the club became well established. The Spanish pronunciation was learned tirst and then the salutations and idioms in common usage. Alter these were well mastered the reading oi the lessons in W ormau's First Spanish lloole was tried, and each lesson was read and thoroughly discussed. Exer- cises in Spanish conversation were directed by the president at each meeting, and in this way the members rapidly became familiar with the language. At the hrst meeting ot the second semester. new olticers were elected, namely, john Henderson, presidentg Klonnie Houicle, vice-president, and llunius Roberts, secretary- treasurer. Under the new administration the club enjoyed some programs, consisting of a few humorous sketches in Spanish. given by the inernbers of the society. At present the membership oi the club is rather small, but the regular students are gaining an intimate knowledge oi Spanish well worth having, and appreciate hilly the op- portunity Mr. Mueller is offering them in the Sociedad Espanola. li igwam Club Spanish Club Club Sllelchin S Club l l 11- IIE Plrysrography Club has again passed through an rnterestmg . , . .' , , ' 1 , ' t PilYSl0glillihY year, carrying on the excellent supplement to the regular course q Q I ...ii In V l Ui , f, '-'i ,V ' ' i' . ., ,, m the class room in such a capable way that tt has equaled the ' prescribed course as a means of instruction Tlns has been due r to the eensorslnp of Miss Ross the leaderslnp of the two pres dents Elizabeth Cooper and Clifford illiyers and the large active membership. The club has two ehicient means of proceeding in its work. The lirst is the meetings that are held at school. This year two interesting programs have been given, which were witnessed by a number of visitors. The one consisted oi musical numbers' and the reading of papers concerning phases of their work. The other was a play, The Western Lanclsliclefi written and acted by the members, which proved to be a lucid and ingenious means of bringing out the work of the course. These pro- grams and the incidental meetings for business and election have made the inside work a great beneht. The second and most eharacter'istic method of the club is the taking of trips, for the purpose ol actually witnessing the natural phenomena and practical uses of physiog- raphy. Trips have been made along Pogues run, Pleasant run, Fall creek, the canal, and White river. The State Museum, Ittenbach's stoneyards, and the Weather Bureau have also been visited. The members have come back from each oi these trips with a wealth of knowledge. bp A new and valuable addition has been made to the long list of Shortridge clubs since the organization of the Sketching Club under the able leadership of Miss Ash- brook. The purpose of this newly-formed organization is to learn the principles of quick sketching. and to hurl out something oi the history and present condition of art. The members have already made quite a little advance in quick held sketching, both oi hg- ure and landscape, during outdoor tripsg and have attempted to learn, through interest- ing papers and lectures, something about our neglected American a1't and artists, when the weather compelled an indoor program. Although the club is still in its infancy, it has a well-deliued object, and promises a brilliant future. BLOWN STENCILING WITH WALDCRAFT DYC5. BY PUPILS OF THE SHORTRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL. INDIANAPOLIS.

They is as much ARKS are a species of insekt that infests all edukasional in- stitootions. They migrated to the Youknighted States when Cristopher D. C. broaght the alfabet across in 1492, and set- tled down purmanuntly to becum the most luved and most hated domestic animuls that has ever becum the beest of bur- don of the hoomun rase. There is fore C4l destinkt kinds of these yousiul be- ings and they sumtimes heard together and sumtimes get atiekted by the sociul conditions of the peeple and heard 'apart The tirst kind is A who in his best state of deevel- opment is called A-l-. The -if looks like a cross, and, as the inventor suposed that all parties who captured this di- vine Mark was a Martire to the cauze of lurning, they de- searved a cross for an emblame, he forethwith copywrited it for them. A-l-'s and A's have been, like other denizuns of the Amarycan forusts, nearly exturminated by roothless pee- ple who have know thawt of the welllair of the footure generasions of the hooman rase. The next and most indifu- rent is the B. This insect is coalected by stoodents who could get A-l-'s if they wanted two, but they never seam to want too. They go threw life with the grate thawt in mind that to B is far better than a Never-Was and a Going-To. There is know conection between this B and the one that makes comparison between them as between a snale and a aunt. Third in the grooo is C, pronounced the same as sea and see but having. an intirley dilurent rneening Cis have loosed ti evrything else. Ti as it is neether a body of salt water nor a virion. Stoodents that get tcrc ambisions and though they cannot see any sines of them they C re foreth, last and most populer Mark is the D. its populairity, like Napoleun's, is .gained threw conquest and foarce of arms. To wize peeple D stands for Danger and Defeat and is a warning to get Down and Dig. ll licences were re- quired for them C ike dogs and all stray curs taken to the dog pond we think the D wood hecurn scairce. Doctors and llie paper manufaktorors say swat the flys, but D' ' s e , , - ' .. s.

Some peeple have a coalection of all fore kinds of Marks and sum strive to spe- cialeyes on won kind, but surntimes it's like poletry raizing: you can't tell what's going to hatch out, a chiken or a cold storage egg. lf teechers were all gude, il poopils wood all study, if they was not jealosy or controverzy or shirking in this wnrld, Marks wood not be neerledg but above all if the alfabet hadn't been discovered wy we woodn't have had any too start with and all wood have been well.

But if we would stop to think a minute, we would soon cease our boasting. If we only stop to think of' the untiring, faithful and kindly zeal of Mr. W. W. Livengood, our censor, we would realize how small our work has been. Without Miss Rhoda Selleck, the art censor, who ever has devoted herself unceasingly to the difficult task of making the Annual an artistic success, we would have floundered helplessly among all sorts of drawings. To Mr. Millers careful and entlnrsiastic supervision of the finances of the Annual we owe our success in that line. For Mr. McKee's painstaking, as well as artistic work in printing this book, we will ever be grateful. Those whose names are not connected with the articles and to whom we are in- debted for assistance, are: Vernon Burns, William Daugherty, Austin Clifford, Es- ther Thompson, Myron Taylor, Samuel Mantel, Myron Hughel, Walter Weirlely, Walther Lieber, Junius Roberts, Marcia Doan, and Dorothy Clarke. To all these and to the others who contributed-in fact, to the whole school, for the assistance and interest it has given-do we owe whatever success this Annual may be.
