CHRISTMAS ECHO A Shortridge's annual holiday magazine, the Christmas Echo, was distri- buted the Week before Christmas vacation, after a competent editorial job by Jacquie Losche and contributions by the regular Echo staff members had made it one of the best editions of all time. Featuring a candy cane cover designed by Sarah Sertell printed in red and g1'een against a lighter green back-ground, the book carried several stories by Fiction Club mem- bers, holiday poetry, enlarged versions of regular Daily Echo features, including Marge Brink's Lookin' Backward, Shideler Harpe's Cynic's Synopsis, and Keith Green's A.M. The art staff, under the direction of Miss Jane Messick, contributed greatly to the appearance of the book. Generally acclaimed by subscribers was a double-page cartoon spread by George Arnold, showing Well-known Shortridgers in their childhood days. The edition featured an adequate sports coverage, and a record of out- standing events of the semester.

ECHO: IT WAS A BIG YEAR FOR HISTGRIES FIRST FOOTBALL . . . Wi A worthy contribution to Shortridge football last fall was Tom Koch's A History of Football at Short- ridgef' a book written in observance of the game's 50th anniversary here. Koch, graduate of the class of 1943, undertook the tremendous task of thumbing back through the years of Blue and White gridiron history to give the school a look into the past. Tom. sports columnist and later editor of Thursday's Echo. volunteered to prepare a detailed compilation of the school's grid data to assist the Echo sports sta1T. The job required extensive research into old Echo files, Annuals. and files of the city's daily papers. The story, printed in booklet form. was distributed as a supplement to the Daily Echo, and later was available to non-subscribers. In this brilliant saga, the author depicts the ethics and etiquette of the game since its beginning. Pictures of great Blue elevens. in- teresting anecdotes and timely comments, sketches of recent mentors and popular sports figures. and ,statis- tics from various angles We1'e all included to present Shortridgers with a lively and informing picture of the school's first fifty years in gridiron competition. , I .Y..l..f. if- f ' ll I' 1943 CHAMLIQNS . .
