colors. We went to the senior party and laughed at all the clever quips and gifts and drank deeply and ate heartily of cokes and potato chips . . . we danced and danced . . . We were proud of our class oflicers, and they had parts on a Shortridge radio pro- gram . . . We gathered together in groups, laughing, and read They've Got Me Covered, and then, on that fateful day, December 7, we gathered together with serious faces and listened to grim radio reports . . . and the Echo had a special edition with the Presi- dent's speech, and America was in the war, and we were seniors and knew that it will be our generation who will pay . . . and we were intensely patriotic . . . we bought de- fense stamps at the bookstore . . . some of us bought bonds . . . we gave pencils to the U.S.O. and we gave pennies to the Red Cross . . . we read through the papers carefully . . . and we started seeing the names of Shortridge graduates who gave their lives to their country . . . and we were proud. We made up slogans about our part being to stay in school now so we could be the trained men and women of tomorrow's world . . . and we began driving less and walking more because tires were rationed and cars were no longer sold . . . But even though the War was always there behind us, we could forget it some- times. We were young and we were seniors and the whole world awaited us . . . We had our senior play and it was fun to watch our friends on the stage. We saw the candy machines installed in the cafeteria, and we worked in the chemistry labs and walked casually through the halls even if we were late to class . . . We looked back on the year and remembered the funny Hallowe'en party, complete with witches and prophe- cies on the stage . . . and the beautiful Christmas auditorium of America's first year at War and our last year at Shortridge. We had a big senior week . . . we scrawled autographs in Annuals, we went to the Vesper services, and we worked in the Class Day fun . . . We laughed at the giftorian's gifts and reminisced with the historian . . . It Was our class that saw the departing of the old principal and the coming of the new . . .it was our class that was graduated first by this new principal . . . We'll re- member that hot June night when all dressed with such care and walked down the aisles to t'Pomp and Circumstancef' We'll remember the speeches and We'll remember the feeling of that sheepskin in our hands . . . we'll remember our graduation dance and the graduation breakfasts that followed. No, it won't be a trip to a romantic place that we'll remember, or a ride through the park. Instead, We'll remember the incessant clattering of the hall lockers . ,. the eversteady shuffle of feet . . . the appreciative sniffs of everyone as he passed by the home ec rooms . . . We'll remember when we really began thinking about Mil- ton's beautiful phrase, They also serve . . We'll remember our valiant struggles with Caesar and Virgil, and those seventy-five lines of French we did . . . We'll remember that geometry problem the whole class slaved over and the history discussion on the effects of World War I . . . We'll remember that person who sat across the aisle in reference and hummed Stardust, off-tune . . . and those notes we passed across a room, via six or seven people, so our friends could read such a vital message as Wait for me after class . . We'll remember the patient pause in most class room discus- sions on the south side of the building while the street car rattled by . . . and the con- stant din in the cafeteria that sometimes made us forget and start shouting at home during dinner . . . We'll remember the campus in its earliest and barest days and later on, when it was an attractive green place and oh, so inviting during those hot days! We'll re- member field trips our class took through The Indianapolis News and We'll remember working late over the Echo on the afternoon of a big game or a class election . . . We'll remember the window displays and the bulletin boards We'll never forget all those Form 2'3's we nlled out . . . we'll remember the joy of meeting friends in class- es on the first day of the new term . . . and the lines in the bookstore at the beginning and end of each term . . . and the study halls we cut . . . and the books we lost . . . and that Sonnet for English that we labored over . . . No, it won't be a romantic trip that we'll remember, or a ride through the park. It will be all these little things that made up our four years at Shortridge and that made Shortridge ours . . . It will be those things that We'll remember . . .
