On the basis of scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service, seventy-nine students were elected to the society by members of the faculty. The chairman and the faculty sponsor of group A were Marvin Borman and Mrs. Hope Nevittg of group B, Margery Geupel and Miss Nora Thomas, and of group C, Mary Glossbrenner and Mrs. Gertrude Weathers. The activities of the club included tutoring of students, compiling records of Honor Society members of 1928 and 1930, and sponsoring a basketball game between the lettermen of the varsity and several members of the faculty. Mary Glossbrenner was in charge of the alumni records com- mittee. Carl Steeg and Fred Maynard managed the publicity and business details of the game, the proceeds of which were used for the most part in a gift to the school. The initiation was held May 3 in the Shortridge library. In addition to the initiates, parents and faculty members attended. On April 27, groups A and B had charge of a party at the home of Marjorie Geupel. Late in the spring of 1940, a picnic was given by group C.

BRIEF HISTORY The first free high school in Indianapolis, the Central High School, was organ- ized in the old County Seminary building in University Square during the school year of 1853-54. Mr. E. P. Cole was the principal. Supt. George B. Stone said in his report to the Board of Trustees in 1856-57, Provision must also soon be made for the high school. The old dilapidated county seminary, which is now used, must doubtless be vacated ere long . . . The erection of a suitable building would do very much to promote the interest in this school and would have an influence which would be felt in every part of the school system. This same report states the enrollment of the school to be seventy-six girls and seventy-nine boys. This institution, the ancestor of Shortridge, was one of the first free co-educational high schools in the United States. Although much of the work was on the level of the eighth grade, there were classes in history, arithmetic, composition, declamation, physiology, physical geog- raphy, natural philosophy, meteorology, algebra, geometry, chemistry, Latin, and Greek. ' Like the seminary boys before them, the high school lads found great plea- sure in the sports of the spacious playground, now University Park. An old out of the time shows the leading athletic activity, a strenuous shinny game in pro- gress. This high school was closed in 1858 by the Indiana supreme court decision which said that it was unconstitutional for local government units to tax citizens for the maintenance of public high schools. Mr. A. C. Shortridge was elected to the position of superintendent of the Indianapolis Schools in 1863. The next year, 1864, twenty-eight pupils were chosen by examination for their fitness to enter the first year of high school. The recog- nized Indianapolis High School was housed on the second lioor of ward building No. 1 at the corner of Vermont and New Jersey Streets, under the supervision of Principal William A. Bell. These quarters, which provided sixty seats, soon proved inadequate for the growing institution, and in 1867 it was moved to the old Second Presbyterian Church at the corner of Market Street and the Circle. This building also housed the school oflices and an 8A grade. Although the high school remained here for a period of only five years, several Indianapolis citizens remember attending school in the old church where Henry Ward Beecher had delivered his famous sermons. The interior of the Circle was a well-kept grassy mound, formerly occupied by the governor's mansion, but now surrounded by a board fence and intersected by board walks from north to south and east to west. The property line was occupied by the home of William H. English and two or three other residences, Christ Church, the Old Plymouth Church, the Sentinel Building, the Journal Building, Wood's Livery Stable, the High School, and a few stores. The pupils proved to be so unprepared for high school work that the first year was devoted to elementary subjects. From this building on the Circle came the first graduating class, that of 1869. The entire group, consisting of four boys and one girl, delivered to the proud audience in Morrison's Opera House five ora- tions, entitled We Stand Athirstf' Wonders, Procrastination, Light Houses, and Sparks, Lacking means of transportation, the pupils walked to school, some from great distances. Nearly all brought their lunches, although some of the boys ate in the restaurants about the Circle. The school day began each morning at 9:00 o'clock with scripture reading and prayer and closed at 3:30. The extracurricular activi- ties and athletics had not yet attained an important place in school life. All of the high school pupils took the same course, with the exception of two electives, -Latin and German. The following is a list of subjects given in Superin- tendent Shortridge's report for 1868: reading, orthography, English grammar, rhe- toric, arithmetic, German, Latin, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, natural philoso- phy, U. S. History, Universal History. Other subjects which were taught from time to time were geology, astronomy, mental philosophy, music, art, penmanship, bookkeeping, Constitution of the United States and physical geography. Although the school board, consisting of three members, was appointed by the city council, the citizens maintained a close supervision of the public schools F UR SCHCDOL through the device of school visitors. Two or more prominent citizens were assign- ed to each ward building and to the High School. It was their duty to visit the schools at regular intervals and see that the teachers were doing their duties and that the pupils were progressing in their work. The high school grades were now recognized as a permanent part of the public school system and the increasing enrollment made necessary the purchase of a larger building. In 1872 the board decided on the old building formerly occupied by the Bap- tist Female Seminary, located at the corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania streets. This was a large three story structure, flanked by wide porches which were con- nected by outside stairways. One of the graduates of the class of 1878, referring to the time when he first entered high school, wrote, 'The building was old and patched and added to, with many mysterious little connecting halls and dark cubby-holes, so it was months before I could find my way about it. The commencement of June, 1878, was typical of others of that period. A local paper said, The commencement exercises of the tenth graduating class of the Indianapolis High School took place yesterday at Roberts Park Church, which as usual on such occasions, was crowded to its utmost capacity. The platform was adorned with a profusion of flowers, and the hundreds of bouquets scattered throughout the house, filled the atmosphere with fragrance. The exercises began at 10:00 o'clock in the morning, stopped for the noon hour, and began again at 2:30 p.m. Twenty-four members of the class read essays, two of them were in German. The class of 1880 was confronted with a very important and a very hotly debated question. The issue was whether each and every member of the class of sixty-five should speak at commencement or Whether the number should be limited to fifteen. In 1884 the building was too dangerous for further occupancy, and the en- rollment of the school exceeded five hundred pupils. That year a new red brick structure was erected on the same site. While it was under construction, classes were held in two nearby churches. In this new building were born the Shortridge student publications which have played such an important part in the life of our school. The Dawn, 1892, The Silent Spectator, September, 1896, The Week- ly Comet, 1897, the senior class annuals, 1894, the Daily Echo, September 26, 1898. Mrs. Lois Hufford said concerning the origin of the Echo, In the summer of 1898, Fletcher Wagner, a senior, came with his grandfather, Mr. Calvin Fletcher, to ask Mr. Hufford to sanction the publishing of a daily paper in the high school. I have a vivid recollection of the trio on the garden walk, as for two hours, they debated this important question. Finally, Mr. Hufford consented to ask the co- operation of the School Commissioners. It was decided to christen the new paper The Daily Echof' In the same building in 1887 was born the famous Senate, originally made up of the pupils in Miss Laura Donnan's government classes. The school commissioners changed the name of the Indianapolis High School to Short- ridge in 1897. The city was constantly faced with the problem of over-crowding of buildings. The Annex to old Shortridge failed to offer relief, and the new building at North and Pennsylvania Streets was occupied in 1904. The very structure itself marked the trend in education and in school architecture, a spacious gymna- sium, liberal space for science laboratories, offices, a large auditorium, the first Caleb Mills Hall, and a cafeteria. But the day came when this entire school plant, once declared to be too far north, was actually too far south. The old south half could no longer be con- sidered adequate for a modern school, furthermore, it was rapidly being sur- rounded by a business district which gave it an unsatisfactory environment for educational pursuits. The need for a new building was obvious to all and on November 3, 1927, the corner stone of the present Shortridge building was laid. In the copper vault within the corner stone is deposited the material record of our school's glorious past. There is also a letter of greeting to the Shortridgers of 2000 A.D., or there- after. For we know that though time may destroy this, our sixth building, Short- ridge itself will carry on. EMMETT A. RICE Cffv SENATE - TRUE BLUE GREENWICH - DEBATE SOCIAL COMMITTEE BATON - ECHO - F.A.A.

Only when he skirted away from some object in his path did he raise them, and then from lack-luster depths suddenly a hot, licking flame seemed to leap. It was as though that flame was some spirit that the man felt would be quenched if re- leased. A dog came bounding through the park, and, reaching the man, pushed experimentally at his clenched hand. His body springing to life, the stranger caressed the moist, quiver- ing nose of the animal and felt a chill in his own body. That was strange, for the sun was warm that day. Oh! There he is! Please don't let him get away! Reaching the man with a flurry of skirts, sweater, and beribboned curls, a young girl smiled apologetically at him and knelt beside the dog, crooning, Bad Tim! Naughty Tim! Shame on Tim! The dog whined im- portantly, and his mistress, stroking his head, looked up at the man. She seemed to say, 'Tm sorry -- but he wouldn't obey me. The man nodded in silent understanding. 4'You have a fine dog here, he remarked. He's a problem right now, though, the girl admitted. Of all times to run away, Tim would pick today! She turned toward the school building across the street. I have to rehearse for the program, you know. Of course, the man acknowledged. She was the failed to ledge of I'll have I'm late problem Look, dog for embodiment of hurried youth as she wonder about the stranger's know- the situation. She rushed on, HNOW to take him back home, and what if to practice? - - Oh, dear! The was enormous to her. ' the man began. Let me keep the you while you go to class. I have nothing to do until my train comes? The girl exclaimed delightedly, Oh, would you really? How nice! And Tim likes you, I can tell. Now if you really don't mind - - Oh, thank you! Turning, she waved, and, bounding vivaciously toward the school building, she disappeared, taking excitement with her. The stranger gave his first evidence of humor, he chuckled softly. Just then two boys entered the park and came to a stand- still before him. Looking withi rapt attention at Tim, the tall serious one pushed his crew hat onto the back of his head and said abruptly, Hey, Dave, look! That's Cynthia's dog, isn't it? The boy addressed as Dave said, Yeah! Say, Mister, do you know Cynthia ? The man raised his eyes and smiled whim- sically, I do now, he asserted. 'Tm watch- ing Tim until she can take him back home. Gee, Dave said. You must have made a big hit! He turned to the other boy. Can you beat that, Jim? She lets this man take care of Tim when I can't even - - , he stopped. Sorry, I didn't mean to sound dis- respectful. I understand what you mean perfectly, the man replied. Do you go to that school over there? The tension relieved, Dave exclaimed, Yes, sir! I wouldn't go anywhere else! You like it? the man questioned, rather perplexed by the obvious sincerity of the boy's tone. Bet your life, sir. There's nothin' like it. Jim, the serious one, laughed a little self- consciously. Dave's all bothered about things today, sir. The whole school is, I guess. We're having a sort of honor week, starting tomorrow and everybody's getting ready. I'm no sentimentalist, but I'll admit it does something to you. Loyalty is a nice feeling to have. We're taught things like that here, and by the time we're ready to graduate, we find it's sort of sunk in. If you know what I mean - - . The boy finished as self-consciously as he had started. Does everyone feel the way you boys feel? the stranger asked quietly. Dave replied shortly, Well - they should! Jim cut in, Sure they do! Don't let them tell you anything else. About this time every year everybody in the school acts silly, and there's not one of them that doesn't sneak away by himself just to look at the campus and the buildings, for no good reason really, except that it means something to him. Just what it does mean nobody but that person will ever know. It's that impor- tant. You see, we stand for something here and we aren't afraid to show it. All the rest of the year we might not show it. We grumble and everything, but the feeling's there all the time. Little things let you know. Jim stopped suddenly, and turning al- most defensively to the boy beside him, said, Wait until you're in your last year, Daveg you'll know even more than now what I mean. I hope that years from now I'll have the same feeling over something else that I have about all this. His hand swept over the building and the grounds surrounding it and the trees walling the landscape. It's good for a fellow to feel that way every now and then. There was a pause that breathed a bene- diction - - then Dave slapped Jim on the back. Well, Jim! I didn't know you had it in you! Hey, you're all right. He grinned broadly. A bell rang in the distance. Patting Tim's head, and slinging his arm across Jim's shoulder, Dave teased, 4'Come on, old orator! Walk to class with me. - - - Good- bye, he called to the stranger, and started on. But Jim told him to wait and turned back to the man. Say, if you'd like to wait until I come back, I could show you around the grounds - - - that is, if you'd like. A light came into the stranger's eyes as he looked up, but he only said, Thank you. I should feel quite honored. But I'm afraid I'll be gone by then. Oh, sure! Well, goodbye. Both boys waved and with a laugh, set off whistling. Left alone, the man felt himself shaking. Imbecile, he muttered. Because a school girl trusts you with her dog, and a brick build- big ing inspires a boy to confi- dences, are no reason for this! Not from you, any- way! He twisted his mouth ruefully, and beckoning to the dog to follow, made his way across the park to gain another view of the three story building. So those four walls can make kids proud and unafraid and eager for the future, and can make them anxious to hold on to what they feel. Maybe that's what more of us need flots more of us. He sighed, and taking a seat on one of the nearby benches, he let his thoughts wander. So much within him was crying for release that the man was not Wakened from his musings until the dog in front of him whined softly. t'What's the matter, Tim ? the man asked. Is it your mistress you see? Cynthia sped down the walk and shouted to them. Tim rushed to her, and taking him by the, collar, the girl approached the wait- ing stranger. How was the rehearsal? he asked. Oh, perfect! Everything went just right. I wasn't a bit late, thanks to you. Your dog was just right, too, the man replied, and his smile brought an answering one to her face. Would you like to come to see our pro- gram? .she asked suddenly. If I'm at all able to, I should feel privil- egedf' He bowed as he said this, and the girl was obviously pleased. Well, goodbye, she cried, in sudden bash- ful confusion. Come on, Tim! And off they went, dog and girl - - and youth. The stranger waved to her retreating back, and turned again to the school building. You teach Youth and Youth teaches others, he murmured. Something about you and your bricks and what these kids say you stand for, make a stranger want to start all over again. You change plans. Right now you've made me rearrange a lot of ideas - and at no small inconvenience. But you and your Jims and Daves and Cynthias win. He turned away, and started down the path. From the open window came the sound of the singing students. The notes filled the air and halted the man's progre.ss. He faced the building, and oblivious to everything else, he suddenly raised his hand in salute. As the notes died away, the hand thrust into his pocket came in contact with a small object, and he withdrew it to look at the only thing to which he had clung in spite of pawnshops and all those months of be- ing locked away up there - - a Phi Beta Kappa key. Now he knew why. Squaring his shoulders and throwing back his head, he laughed heartily for the first time in years, and the flame leapt up and out of him. FROM JEERS T0 CHEERS . .. IN FOUR YEARS by WITT HADLEY On the average of tive or six Friday after- noons per fall, some thousand high school students gather to watch a football game in which their school is one of the contestants. During the winter the same crowd will follow its team's progress on the basketball court. This group is roughly divided into four classes. We contend that these four classes corres- pond exactly with the four years of high school, namely: freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior. However, we prefer that they be referred to as Classes I, II, III, and IV. Class I embraces members of the student body who are known, with no little disre- spect, to other students as freshmen. Class I members attend their first athletic contest after some overbearing, superior-looking jun- ior has approached them in their home room with, i'You want to buy a ticket to the foot- ball game on Friday? Sometimes shrewd and outspoken agents do everything but grab the 9B by the collar and growl, Where's the money for the ticket? You can see that this puts Class I member in a very meek condi- tion, and as a result he will sit throughout the entire contest on the following Friday, not saying a word. He will even be content to pay ten cents for a Coca-Cola the has not felt familiar enough to use the word coke yetl and not get a nickel back on the bottle. The poor, though colorful, student does not know enough, unless he is of the under-under-classman intelligentsia that has play- ed the rugged sport before, At this the agent smiled broadly, quit talk- ing to that pretty girl with the yellow hair Kas the freshman puts itj and brought forth the ticket. This wonderful piece of cardboard amuses the Class I member greatly. He finds no end of pleasure in turning it over and over - reading every bit of printing he can find on it. Perhaps it is the color that at- tracts his attention. The Class I member is, on the whole, very quiet at all times, and even during the bas- ketball season fby this time he has bought a season bookl he has not much to say. Of course, there are many things that must course through his little mind, but he is happy to sit and look around at the seniors, dreaming of the day when he, too, can enjoy so much sophistication. A little more ego is added to the personality of the freshman when he can say to the ticket agent, I have a season book! At which the agent retreats to talk to that pretty girl with the yellow hair. Comes the sectional, Class I has heard that there will be sixteen teams playing out at the Tech gym on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. In addition, he finds that, if he buys a ticket, he will be excused from class- es on Friday! The thought of this daring escapade thrills him so much that he empties piggy bank to the extent of one hundred attend this exhibition.

This F year he begins to predict, and often, to older students' amazement and irritation. hits high percentages in the noble art of prognostication. Ah, happy day when he becomes Class III. Now he can throw off the cloak of timidity and stalk about the school with a self-sure attitude. He begins to talk to that pretty girl with the yellow hair and one thing leads to another until he discovers that she is merely a classmate in disguise. In this year he acquires the habit of bleacher refer- eeing and takes great delight in sitting and mumbling to himself if things do not go quite right. Very few people can tell that he is in condition unhappy at the moment. He has many friends, all of whom must be in- formed of his existence at the encounter. This is done by wild yells and the waving of arms to attract attention, the more assured cases may use the fingers to whistle at their object. Most of the noise raised at the games comes from Class III. He delights in making the ears of the person in front of him curl with sound waves. It is also during this time that he learns the use of confetti and stream- ers. As a result of his discovery, the eyes, ears, nose, throat, mouth, hair, and back of Q! get a date with that pret- ty girl with the yellow hair. l An illustrious mem- ber of Class IV, now in com- plete control of all facilities, sweeps in with that pretty girl with the yellow hair under his arm but two minutes before the game begins. Far, far back in one corner sits a new Class I specimen, aghast at the goings on. He closely watches Class IV and date. They sit at the far end of the gym. They talk with a few friends before the game gets under way. When the inter- mission comes, and our little freshman is riveted with horror in a corner, the senior gets up, walks out, gets a drink, comes back, and sits down. Such poise, thinks Class I, such grace, Shall I ever be able to attain ease ? Then to top it all off, and to Class I's utter amazement, the senior and his girl friend get up and walk out TWO MINUTES before the game is finished. Oh, horror of horrors. Think of it, walking out with all those people look- ing at you! The rest of the game is lost as the freshman dreams of the day three years hence when perhaps he can muster the cour- age to meet this test of tests, this proving of complete disregard for what others think or see, this nonchalant exit as he dangles from his arm some pretty girl with yellow hair. A ROUSSEAU AMCCLELLAN A gentle-woman by nature, a scientist and naturalist by training, a lover of boys and girls by instinct, Miss McClellan became one of the greatest teachers that any school, anywhere, has had the good fortune to have on its staff. For Shortridge High School and hundreds of boys and girls in the city, her passing is a tragic blow. She belongs to that group of distinguished teachers that gave to the schools of Indianapolis the distinction that they have had for many years. She was a pioneer in the field of Nature Study in the public schools. For some years she was an instructor in the Indianapolis Normal School, and supervised the teaching of Nature Study in the grades. This she did in addition to her duties in Shortridge. She had something that the pupils of Agassiz had - the seeing eye and the under- standing heart. Her passionate love of nature and its creatures fired the imagina- tion of thousands of young people and lead many of them into careers of life- long appreciation and love of the wonders of nature. She led them out to see that The heavens declare the glory of God and the iirmament showeth His handi- work. To her older associates she was a delightful comp-anion, to the younger mem- bers of her staff a wise counselor and guide, to her disciples an inspiring leader and to all a true and steadfast friend. OD the CEIIHDLIS at Sh01'13I'idg9 is H little grove of trees that shall be dedicated to her as a sanctuary. It will be carpeted with wild flowers that she loved. Among the branches of the stately trees will be the nests of her feathered friends. As the morning light appears, from their little throats, as from a choir invisible, will come notes of song dedicated to her who was their friend, and in the evening the mournful note of the turtle dove will be for her a requiem. To her intimate friends and associates she was affectionately known as Miss Mac. Like the little boy in the story of another great teacher by whose side Miss McClellan has every right to stand, smiling through our tears we say, t'Good-bye, Miss Macf' - George Buck.

Murray Vawter. Those who had the privilege of intimate friendship with Miss Elizabeth Vawter found her to be a person of rare personal charm and endearing loyalty to her friends. Her unusually retiring disposition hid from many people who knew her many of the delightful personal qualities so much admired by those who knew her intimately. She was one of those rare courageous souls who, when necessary, suf- fered in silence and bore the tragedies of life with stoical courage. She was devoted to her profession, she not only prepared herself thoroughly in the schools of this country but she made several trips abroad in order to widen her knowledge of the French language which she loved and to make herself more proficient in teaching it to her classes. - George Buck. LITERARY PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS ART ANNUAL STAFF Eight members of the faculty have proved invaluable in the con- struction of this, the 1940 Annual. The task of various editors was rendered considerably easier by their advice and suggestions. Mrs. Mary Dye Beach and Charles J. Wilkerson were in charge of the literary work. John R. Kuebler co-ordinated the publication. Joel Hadley was class sponsor and general director of Annual activities. George Crossland and C. L. Morrison sponsored the business staff.

PRESS The Press Club is an organization of all the members of the five staffs of the Shortridge Daily Echo. The chief acti- vity of the past year has been centered in the meetings, which, though not held with strict regularity, Were designed to be interesting and profitable to the members. The programs of the club have served to unify the Work done on the daily publications. Often meetings have been open forum discussions, at other times speakers were brought from the staffs of the various local papers. Barbara Jones and David Baerncopf, members of the club, addressed the group concerning their experiences at the summer sessions of the Northwest- ern School of Journalism. Bob Strana- han, sports Writer on the Indianapolis Star, was the speaker at one session. Everett C. Watkins, Washington corres- pondent to the Indianapolis Star, gave practical advice to the aspiring journal- ists. Charles J. Wilkerson, head of the English department, is the sponsor. Officers: President, David Savidgeg Secretary, Barbara Jones. EDITORIAL STAFF Now in its forty-first year of publica- tion, the Shortridge Daily Echo has provided journalistic and editorial ex- perience for a large number of students. Each day of the week a different staff of editors is responsible for the publi- cation of the Echo, The First Ameri- can High School Daily . The supply of beginning reporters is furnished by try-out classes, directed by student editors on each Echo staff. Try-outs are taught how to prepare and cover stories in any field of the Echo. Various positions on the Echo staff to- ward which the reporters work are those of feature editor, who is responsible for features appearing on the first, and oc- casionally the third page, sports editor, who Writes stories on the school's sched- uled athletic events, and under Whom the sports columnist Works, and head- line editor, who, as the title implies, afiixes the specified headlines to the stories. In addition to the editor-in- chief, there are editor's chairs for the second and third pages, . f mzyvuwmazafefu awM:Liv1 ia lil H- i: .my . STUDENT COUNCIL ? iii 2 'Efw ' n . W1 f. 3 , The Student Council is a group of Senior, Junior, Sopho- more, and Freshman students which co-operates with the faculty and the student body in accomplishing important school matters. The Student Council is sponsored by James C. Beane. Twice each year the seating of the cafeteria is managed by the Council. This arrangement eliminates overcrowded tables and disputes pertaining to seats. Another service is the maintenance and supervision of hostesses at the Meri- dian Street entrance. These students escort visitors to the office and furnish directions when needed. The outstand- ing cheer leader of the year is awarded a sweater by the organization, which acquires its funds from the sale of tickets for several student entertainments. The Student Council has made it a practice to visit the other local high schools in search of ideas which might be used to advan- tage in Shortridge. The Council was organized eleven years ago by Joel Hadley for the purpose of providing a connecting link be- tween the students and faculty. This group is composed of five Seniors and four Juniors, elected by their respective classes, and three Sophomores and two Freshmen, chosen by the Faculty Advisory Committee and the regular Student Council. The oiiicers are president, Mary Glossbrenner, vice-president, Ann Shaw, secretary, Patty Peterson. MEMBERS Seniors: Mary Glossbrenner, Marvin Borman, Ann Shaw, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Purky and Peggy Trusler, al- ternates. Juniors: Patty Peterson, Mary Ann Pearce, Jack Kautz, Jim Fenstermakerg Betsy Maynard and Jim South- ard, alternates. Sophomores: Carolyn Jones, .Doris Fessler, Dick S-tackhouse. Freshmen: Katherine Glossbrenner, Dick Elliot. The school year of 1939-1940 has proved very successful for the Shortridge battalion of the Reserve Oflicers' Train- ing Corps. At their annual Federal Inspection last spring, the Short- ridge unit again made a clean sweep of the top honors. For the third time in the past iive years, Shortridge placed first in the Regular Army rating for high schools for the states of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. For the second consecutive year, the battalion captured the coveted Reserve Officers' plaque, awarded for outstanding drill. The American Legion again presented its First Award Battle Streamer to the Shortridge organization. This award is given to the unit making the best showing in the annual Armistice Day parade. It has been offered only two years, and Shortridge has taken it on both occasions. The Oflicers' Club, sponsored by Staff Sergeant Albert Neff, Regular Army instructor, chose for its oiicicers this year Cadet Major Jack T. Davis, president, Cadet Captain Max M. Marsh, vice-president, Cadet Captain Edward M. Ragsdale, secretary, and Cadet Captain Robert M. Hall, treasurer. The club sponsored the R. O. T. C. exhibit at the Family Frolic, bringing together one of the most complete exhibits of infantry weapons and equipment ever shown in the city. The unit, under the able guidance of Sergeant Neff, and the active leadership of Cadet Major Jack T. Davis, has maintained its championship caliber, which has made it R. O. T. C nationally famous. CADET OFFICERS Major, Jack T. Davis. Honorary Captains, Dean A. Doyle, Henry Wakeland, Cary Patterson, and Francis M. Curtis. Captains, Robert M. Hall, Ed Ragsdale, Max M. Marsh, and Colin Dyer. First Lieutenants, Robert R. Goodwin, Robert H. Shelhorn, John Spitznagle, Donald White, and Fred Horner. Second Lieutenants, Donald Summers, Gene L. Williams, William E. Lemens, Oliver Holmes, and Paul Swindler. STATE DEBATE TRI-STATE TEAM TEAM DEBATE During the 1940 season, the Shortridge debating teams, coached by C. C. Shoemaker, blazed an undefeated trail to the State Debate Tourney held April 5 and 6 at North Manchester, Indiana. Members of the Shortridge team Were, afiirmative, Phil Robertson and Bert W. Goldberg, and negative, Marvin Borman and Elliott Goodman. The season opened on February 3 with victories over Washington and Tech. In Sectional competition, the Short- ridge negative team conquered Washington and Won from Warren Central by default. The affirmative team triumph- ed over Crispus Attucks and Washington. In another double debate in Caleb Mills Hall, Shortridge triumphed over Rush- ville for the Regional championship. At Manchester College, Shortridge defeated Hammond and Elkhart High Schools, thereby being entitled to enter the final phase of the tournament with LaPorte High S-chool. Here Shortridge suffered its only defeat of the season and consequently was runner-up in the State finals. In addition to the members of the State teams, Albert Losche joined the affirmative team and Helen White the negative in Tri-State competition. The affirmative team won a decision at Louisville Male High School While the negative team remained in Indianapolis to defeat Walnut Hills High School of Cincinnati. The question for debate this year Was: Resolved: That the national government shall own and operate the rail- roads. SENATE Presidents BERT GOLDBERG LOUIS COHEN TOM MCDOWELL BOB GEMMER MAROTT SINEX For fifty-two years the Shortridge Senate has held its position as dean of all Shortridge clubs. Back in 1887 Miss Laura ,Donnan hit upon the idea of an organization pattern- ed after the Senate in Washington, D. C., to discuss current political problems and to give experience in debate and parliamentary procedure to its members. For forty years Miss Donnan, by her never failing efforts, kept the Senate chamber a place of learning and pleasure for all Short- ridge, a tradition that has been carried through by its present sponsor, Russell V. Sigler, of the history depart- ment. This session has been a busy one for the body. The solons have endeavored in part to untangle the European crisis, balance the budget, solve the unemployment problem, and have also found time to conduct a libel suit fall in funj, against Monday's Echo. Its publicity director, Bob Gemmer, presented three display windows and showed numerous pos- ters commemorating its memorable past. Letters were re- ceived from several distinguished ex-senators, among them one from Claude Bowers, ambassador to Chile. The Senate is looking forward to many more years of developing Shortridgers for future positions of trust in governmental affairs as it has done for the past fifty-two years.

Featuring appearances before the student body, the P.T.A., and other local organi- zations, the concert season has been a most enjoyable one for both the students and their always attentive audiences. Gold, silver, and bronze pins have been awarded to the seniors who contributed three, two, and one years of outstanding service to the or- ganization. As a guest, Ferdinand Schaefer, conductor emeritus of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, assisted in the presentation of these pins.

BATON ORCHESTRA VOICE ENSEMBLE SCCIAL COMMITTEE The Shortridge Social Committee has had one of its most gratifying seasons during the fall of 1939 and the spring of 1940. The group comprising its membership seems to have been particularly co-operative and eflicient, and has worked as a unit to hold a series of dances, which were all well attended. The officers of the Committee are president, Kurt Vonnegut, vice-president, Mary Glossbrennerg secretary, Ann Shaw, treasurer, Fred Rassman. The first dance of the season, usually a problem, was named by a contest, the Gym Jam Jump , and attracted large numbers of matinee revelers. A novel feature was add- ed by the presence of Miss Eleanor Hopwood, a professional dancing teacher, who held a brief instruction period for those who wished to learn the newest in dance steps. Following that came an unprecedented type of party. To the terror of multitudinous males, a Sadie Hawkins Day was proclaimed and the leap year sp-irit ran rampant. No tickets were issued and an unheard-of admission fee of five cents was paid at the door. This dance possessed more of the feeling of gayety than any of its predecessors, and will surely be repeated. At the annual Round-Up early in December, the Social Committee sponsored its usual dance. Chuck Smith and his Butler University orchestra provided the music for one of the committee's largest dances. As the smoothest dance of the year, the Bluebelle - Uglymann festival seemed to draw the largest crowd. Pic- tures of these popular students appear in another part of this book. ' The Social Committee offers its heartfelt gratitude to the student body for a bumper year of merriment. There was no chairman for the Gym Jam Jump . Other dance chairmen were, Jitney Jamboree fSadie Hawkins Dayj, Ann Shaw, Family Frolic, Sidney Cahn, Bluebelle - Uglyrnan, Marvin Farber. FAMILY FROLIC On December 8, 1939, the Parent-Teachers' Association presented the annual Family Frolic. Its theme was the seventy-iifth anniversary of Shorxtridge. Approximately three thousand parents, students, and teachers attended the Frolic. The proceeds were given to the Student Aid Fund. Fifteen S-hortridge girls modeled at the style show, the Baton Club provided a musical show in the auditorium, the Gay 90's Cafe and the Pretzlebude, managed by the Boy and Girl Scouts and the German Club, furnished refreshments, and the Fiction Club startled the public with the House of Terror. Many enjoyed dancing to the music of Chuck Smith and his orchestra in the gym. Others were attracted to the Math Club exhibit, the Safety exhibit, the Radio Club and R. O. T. C. demonstration, and the Cake Walk and Coffee Shop. The fortune telling booths and the Pre-Time Club's Ye Olde Cave Inn also proved to be successful. The en- tire Frolic was built around the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of Shortridge. BLUEBELLE Ann Bishop is a remarkable combination of wonderful looks and functioning gray matter, The V-8's boast of her as a member, while the Honor Society claims her more civilized moments. This glorious little gal is the vice-president of the illustrious class of '40 and gave some of the best years of her life to the Student Council of '39, The class of 1940 proved their superiority in beauty by having two Bluebelles chosen from their class. In 1939, Susan Alvis, now secretary of the class of '40, was crowned. Other candidates were top, left to right, Barbara Kiger, Pat Failing, Ann Shaw, Mary Ann Morrison, Patty Petersong center, Bluebelle Ann Bishopg lower, Mary Glossbrenner, Peggy Trusler, '39 Bluebelle, Susan Alvis, Barbara Sternfels, and Marge Geupel. Dick Gage, demon maker of buckets, left little doubt as to Who was the best man in the Held of ten likely lads. His popularity had been tested on a smaller scale upon a number of occasions. His election to the cherished position of honor- ary basketball captain was easily attained, and it was mainly his spark that sent the team crashing through for a sectional championship. The voting masses knew what the score was this year. There is not a finer fellow in school. Left to right, top: Kenny Smock, Walt Freihofer, Fred Maynard, Sigmar Muhl.

Patricia Peterson, Mary Ann Pearce, Jack Kautz, and Jim Fenstermaker were elected to represent the class on the Student Council. Alternates were Betsy Maynard and Jim Southard. The tremendous success of the Junior Vaudeville of 1940 was due to the hard work and co-operation of Betty Jane Mitchell, chairman, Mrs. Nell M. Thomas and Enoch D.

Nine years of outstanding victories for Nip- per coached elevens Were cliimaxed on the seventy-fifth anniversary year by the most brilliant season Nip's teams have ever ex- perienced.

In September, Coach Nipper's gridmen traveled to Brazil, Indiana, for the season's opener. Ol' Sol beat down from the heavens and kept the mercury near 100. However, it failed to wilt the Shortridge lads' enthusiasm and they ran the score up to 20-6 before be- ginning the trek home. Southport's Cardin- als next fell by the wayside when the teams played under the lights. The final score was 14-7. Stivers, of Dayton, Ohio, invaded the home camp for the third game of the '39 season. No match for the Blue gridmen, they failed to score a point. Bill Allerdice was the big noise of the game, scoring 13 of the 21 points. Behind the eightball for the first time in the campaign, S-hortridge failed to emerge completely and consequently had to split the decision with Culver's Cadets. The final score was 6-6. The next week-end saw the Nippermen successfully ride Jeff's Broncs. When the annual rodeo was over, the locals led 27-13. This was the fourth victory and the team still showed plenty of evidence of their early power. In their first City Series competition, Shortridge hurdled Washingt0n's Continen- tals by eking out a 6-0 triumph. Cathedral fell to the axe the following week by the same score. A pass from Smock to Freihofer provided the winning points. Crawfordsville was the opposition that furnished the final tune-up for the Tech game. The team lack- ed scoring punch and pushed across only one marker. Kenny Smock drove the pig- skin across and converted for Shortridge. Then the climax of every Shortridge sea- son was at hand, for the Tech game came the following week. Three periods of thrilling, exciting, and scoreless football had become history. A game lighting Shortridge line had held off drive after drive by a heavier and stronger Tech team. The Blue attacks, in turn, had folded up against the Green forward wall. Then the break came. Maynard ripped off thirty yards on an off tackle plunge which placed the ball on the Eastsider's two yard line. The suspense was terrific and a death- like hush pervaded the stands as Smock re- ceived the pass from center. Then a roar, like the surge of the ocean's surf, echoed from the Butler bowl as the referee held up his arms to signal a score. A fake kick was successful for the extra point that was to be the margin of victory. Even then, the drama was not completely over. All will remember the Tech touchdown and all will recall the tenseness of the place kick and the anti- climax when it was repeated because of off- Left to right - first row, Hiller, Brown, Freihofer, Van Tassel, Shelhorn, Worley, Ent, Miller, Mercer, Smock, Maynard, King, Second row, Coach Nipper, Stackhouse, Muhl, Cracraft, Compton, Smith, Williams, Stauber, Nolan, Holmes, Benjamin, Dalrymple.

Eluding the uprights, the ball veered off to the side. The Blue had won 7-6, thus gaining another City championship and completing the season undefeated. Two of the most sought after awards of Shortridge athletics, the Herbert T. Wagner and Frank J. Skinner trophies, were pre- sented to Gene Stauber and Kenneth Smock. The Wagner award is made to the most im- proved player and the Skinner trophy to the -most valuable player. Shortridge major letter awards were made to Capt. Kenny Smock, Walt Freihofer, Har- .ry Ent, .Jim Miller, Dick Mercer, Bob Shel- horn, Charles Van Tassel, Dick Worley, Gene Stauber, Gene Williams, Fred May- nard, Joe Shedron, Jim Mitchell, John Smith, Dave S-track, Al Levenson, Bob Dalrymple, Bill Allerdice, and Van Duncan. The senior student manager, Fred Meyer, received a letter. Of the fifteen Purdue medals awarded to the players of six local high schools, four were received by Shortridge gridmen. They were Capt. Kenny Smock, Walt Freihofer, Harry Ent, and Jim Miller. SECTIONAL CHAMPS IN ACTION BASKETBALL by JACK O'BRlEN It was not the coolest, keen- est-eyed, greatest collection of bucketeers ever assembled at Shortridge, but no one will ar- gue that Coach Kenny Peter- man's 1939-40 Blue Devil net snipers were not the iightingest aggregation ever to carry the Blue and White onto a battle- scarred hardwood. With only one letterman, Dick Gage, and only one other player, Bryan West, with varsity exper- ience, Coach Peterman's was in- deed a diiiicult problem. Out of Gage, West, Chuck Benjamin, Dave Strack, Walt Freihofer, Larry Yeager, Bob Paddock, and Jim Wiley, his was the task of developing a winning court com- bination. He did this shrewdly, bringing the boys along slowly until they reached their peak in the sectionals. It was a long, tedious, and trying job, but of the eventual out- come, none can complain. Fourteen victories out of twenty-four starts, sectional champions, and finalists in the regionals was the way the Satans stacked up in the cam- paign of '39-'40. Their first two starts, Greenfield and Noblesville, were unimpressivo, despite victories. Their defense and fundamentals were badly in need of polish, and this became even more evident when they dropped three straight to Greencastle, Shelbyville, and Southport. They looked slightly improved when they led the way to down Tech, 28-26, but the follow- ing week-end Martinsville and Lafayette both took the Satans into camp. Things brightened when they swamped Cathedral and impressively downed Columbus, but Rushville tasted Blue blood the following week. m. f f .ffpwezwmfr ll BLUE NET BOSSES Pete and the Boys go over a Play. WEST PADDOCK CAPT. GAGE BENJAMIN YEAGER WILEY STRACK FREIHOFER The next week the Blue Devils bounced back and upset both Lebanon and Crawfordsville, and then went on to drop Manual. After the Blue led Ko- komo for twenty-eight minutes, the Kats rallied and won going away. Archie Chadd outfoxed the homeboys, and Anderson won the last regular- ly scheduled game. In the sectionals the Peterman quintet got a distinct break in the draw, but had to fight all the way to emerge victorious. By dropping Broad Ripple, little Castleton, Manual, for the second time, and a very strong Decatur Central five, the Northsiders won the right to meet Pittsboro in the first round of the regionals. At the Tech gym, the underdog favorite, Lapel, came in with a fourth stanza rush to send Greenfield to the showers broken-hearted, as Short- ridge did the same for Pittsboro. Few who saw' it will ever forget that Blue Devil - Bulldog battle, that 20-9 halftime deficit, the hectic fourth quarter, in which the lead changed hands five times, only to have courageous Lapel triumph, 39 to 36. The best combination was Gage and West, forwards, Yeager, center, and Benjamin and Strack, guards, but Walt Freihofer was the sixth man on the squad, a frequent starter, and equally capable at any position. Pad- dock, Wiley, Bernie Casselman, and Bill Swaim rounded out the first ten. Monogrammed sweaters were awarded to Gage, Freihofer, Wiley, and Yeager, seniors, and West, Benjamin, Strack, and Paddock, juniors. Shel- S.H.S.

Dick Gage was named honorary captain by his team-mates at the end of the season. Chuck Benjamin copped the Dr. George V. Underwood trophy for the second time. Benjamin was named most valuable varsity man by Coach Peterman, while Bill Swaim won the Underwood most valuable reserve player award. No report on the Blue Devils could possibly be complete without a paragraph in praise of their fighting. The reckless abandon with which they dived for loose balls, gave and asked no quarter, fought and clawed their way every inch, and battled desperately, regardless of the odds, are the ingredients of which champions are made. We of the class of 1940 are proud to have had athletes of that caliber representing us and Shortridge on the hardwood, for they have given us something long to cherish and remember - the Battling Blue Devils! THE FROSH Coach Tom D. Woods' rhinie crew enjoyed a successful season. They triumphed in nine games and lost but four. The squad was forced to for- feit three games because of an inelligible player. High light of their season came when they defeated the re- serves, who in turn outscored the powerful Kokomo reserves the same day, Watch the Rhinies! RESERVES Without reserve strength, the future of any team is dark. Coach Claude Keesling's job is to keep this future shiny and bright. The stress is put on drilling fundamen- tals into our future var- sity squad. At the conclu- sion of the '39-'40 season, the score columns showed that the junior Satans had won eight games and lost ten. The reserve strength was frequent- ly sapped by the varsity, be- cause the Hrst team needed players to fill a roster made vacant by illness. Perhaps that is the reason that the losses outnumbered the vic- tories. Bill Swaim and Bernie Casselman performed stellar service for the Keesling crew and were then advanced to varsity rating when they were needed for tourney play. Swairn was awarded the Un- derwood trophy for being the most valuable player on the I'6S6I'V6 team.

'Ei . mii-'ks' The Shortridge High School track squad, under Coach Don Knight, opened a hard fought season at Kokomo, where they were edged out, 645 to 442. The Satans won six first positions. The 750 and 1,500 yard relays provided Kokomo with the margin for victory. Captain Fred Maynard Won first in both hurdle events. The meet with Jefferson High School of Lafayette gave the Blue Devils a better chance to strut their stuff when they trounced the Bronchs 6252 to 4614. Shortridge annexed a slam in the shot put event, Captain Maynard grabbed off Iirsts in both hurdle events. Tech gained its seventh consecutive victory in the City Track Meet. Shortridge placed just behind Washing- ton for third, with 42 points. Don King returned to action with a surprising victory in the high jump. Shortridge placed second in the Southport Relays, to Tech's powerful first. They scored 4716 to 535. Though Shortridge won six iirsts to Manualls four, reserve strength gave a 58 to 51 victory. Shortridge qualified three men for the State Meet. In the sectionals, Maynard Won the high hurdles, and Don King remained undefeated in the high jump. Bill Compton came through for a second in the shot put. Cap- tain Fred Maynard, undefeated in the high hurdles, was responsible for many of the Shortridge points. GOLF The Shortridge High School golfers, under Simon P. Roache, enjoyed a successful season. Ably supported by the linksmen, Dick Stackhouse, Robert Stackhouse, Dick Mercer, George O'Neil, Dick Herin, and Bob Smith, the Shortridge golf squad, won a large majority of their matches. The following scores speak for themselves: Tech fell 12V2 to 5955 Frank- lin bowed 10V2 to lk, 8V2 to 392g Culver lost 10 to 83 Anderson tumbled 1212 to 2945 and Tech won 10 to 8. Shortridge placed third in the LaPorte Invitational meet. Dick Mercer Won low medal honors with a 76 and was outstanding for the Blue Devils all season. TENNIS Coach Howard Wood and his Blue Devil racqueteers had hung up seven consecutive victories in the 1939-40 season at the time the Annual went to press. Responsible for the victories were Roger Downs, Charles Tichenor, Joe Shedron, Bob Paddock, and James Kalleen, the first squad. They were aided by Sidney Iszaks, Bob Wood, Harold Morgan, Fred Flickinger, Bob Robinson, and Marshall Samms. The Satans -met Tech twice and defeated them by the scores of 6 to 1 and 6 to 2. Culver also fell before the Blues, 6 to 1. Wiley of Terre Haute was the first team to be dropped in the GOLF Spring of 1940. The score was 4 to 2. Then Tech was handed its third straight loss by the Satans, 4 to 3. Culver's Cadets were again no match as the Blues swamped them 11 to 1. Burris of Muncie was the next school to taste defeat by a 9 to 0 margin. Roger Downs, responsible for many victories, proved to be one of the outstanding tennis play- ers in the history of Blue Devil teams. Charles Tichenor, fresh- man ace, displayed his ability by defeating Tech's number one man. He shows promise of being one of the best in the coming years.
