BOOKSTORE The wide variety of ar- ticles which the bookstore has in stock never failed to amaze us. Why, it was practically a general store in itself. Cedric C. Hobbs' merchandise includes everything from penny penpoints to our class jew- elry, not to mention all the hundreds of textbooks which the bookstore buys and sells. Assisting Mr. Hobbs as Uclerksi' this year were Betty Lou Stew- art, Sue Kassebaum, Ron- ald Smith, and Eleanor Reed. HEALTH SERVICE Miss Marie Moran, our nurse, knows how to patch up all our bumps and bruises from a toothache to a broken arm, and her office and its two resting wards were always a wel- come haven when we were feeling under the weath- er. Her services also in- clude a semi-annual check- up of each student. We Shortridgers are apprecia- tive of our friendly nurse and all the help she has given us. CAFETERIA Hlvlmmm. Smells like welre having chili today. Remember how we used to speculate all through our third hour classes as to what the bill of fare was for lunch? When we think of how Mrs. Frances Lich- tenwalter feeds 2,000 hun- gry Shortridgers every day, we really marvel at the grand-.Q job she does. With the cafeteria offering a daily menu which included everything from baked beans to chocolate cream pie, is it any wonder that lunch period was our fa- vorite period in the day? BUSINESS OFFICE Remember when we were Echo and Annual agents and had all those little pink slips to worry with? If we thought our job was tough, we should have seen how much of the work re- mained to be done by the business office. Besides un- dertaking theze two major projects, the office also regulates the finances of all the other school organiza- tions. W

Expert Guidance Fits Us for the Outside World . . . One of the most helpful institutions ever to be established for our benefit is the Guidance Department. The teachers who so unselfishly devote much of their time as advisers have many important duties. One of these is helping us to plan our study programs in such a Way as to best fit us for what We Wish to do after we graduate from Shortridgeg that is, take a job, or continue our studies in college. In order to choose courses suited to our needs and de- sires, We confer with these advisers at regu- lar intervals. They are ready to supply us With information concerning colleges and universities We might Wish to attend. They aid us in altering our programs if it is found necessary. The Guidance Department administers various tests during the school semester throughout our high school careers. These include intelligence tests, the Kuder pref- erence test and personality profile tests. Modern teaching aids such as these pro- vide instructors and advisers with additional vital information concerning our capacity for learning, our ambitions, ,and our per- sonalities. The department keeps a com- plete and detailed record of our grades, family history, school activities, programs, and any recognitions and citations we have received. It helps us to find jobs which will not interfere with our studies. These are some of the ways in which the per- sonnel of the Guidance Office serves us, as students of Shortridge High School. This is the staff of the department: Claude Keesling, directorg Mrs. Nell M. Thomas and Don R. Knight, freshman ad- visers, Miss Dorothy Dipple and Mr. Kees- ling, sophomore advisers, Miss Ruth Lew- man and Kenneth Peterman, junior advis- ers, Miss Dorothy Peterson, senior adviser, and Miss Minnie Lloyd, College Board ex- amination supervisor.
