Daily lliellio In the 45th consecutive year of publication, the Shortridge Daily Echo, under the direction of a new sponsor, Miss Jeanette Grubb, has upheld its tradi- tional aim of quality. At the beginning of the year. special classes for cub reporters were conducted by editors Phyllis Jay, Ann Lindstaedt, Marge Brink. Shirley Rae Evans, and Shirley Rose. The classes were designed to instruct underclassmen in the fundamen- tals of journalistic writing. As a result of the inau- guration of these methods, many Shortridgers tried out for staff appointments. Rigid qualifications in re- gard to meeting assignments were imposed. not only to attain a position on the staff but also to keep it. The Echo. besides having a successful year, has been one of the most representative of Shortridge organiza- tions. ,' Left to right: Paul Goldstein, Lois Ramsey, Shirley Rae Evans, Bob Mintz, Ann Lind- staedt, Beverly Keller.

BUH A-Plone Driiiue Shortridge students topped the record of all Indiana high schools, and, as far as they know, of all United States high schools. in the Buy-A-Plane drive of May, 1944. The three weeks' campaign resulted in a sale of 31,302,224 in bonds, 366,000 of which the students themselves bought. The sum total was enough to purchase two flying fortress- es in addition to the pursuit plane, which was the original goal. The drive, in honor of Shortridge's famous graduate, Admiral Raymond Ames Spruance, was conducted by the War Activities Com- mittee, with Al J. Kettler in charge of the campaign and publicity. It featured a Vic- tory Queen, Anne Metzger, who was crowned at the mammoth Bond Rally held May 19 at the conclusion of the campaigng a Mystery Man, Homer E. Capehart, who agreed to match all student bond purchases to the amount of 850.000, and whose identity was revealed the evening of the rallyg and a parade of various units participating in the competition for Victory Queen. One of the bombers which Shortridgers bought, named the t'Shortridge Blue Devil, is now paying Shortridge's respects to Tokyo.
