With the teamwork, loyalty, and cooperation which is so essen- tial in publishing a newspaper, the sons and daughters of Shortridge work together to print another story of achieve- ment in high school life. And now the boys and girls who have made the news at Shortridge these last four years are ready to help write a bigger story-in the home, in the community, and in the nation-and inscribe their names in' the headlines of tomorrow. So let us penetrate the walls of Shortridge and watch ourselves, in the classroom, on the athletic field, and out- side of school as we unconsciously make the news for another story of a year at 34th Street. . . .

Our Annual to Miss Jeannette Grubb, a true friend to all of us, and a loyal Shortridger. Besides keeping our school publications among the best and teaching classes in journalism, she finds time to take a sincere interest in all of our many activities. An enthusiastic supporter of all our athletic teams and school functions, Miss Grubb is one of the people who make Shortridge the fine school that it is, 4 And Commemorate . . . It is only fitting that we pay tribute to Donald G. Klopp, a man who meant so much to our school and our class. For ten years Mr. Klopp served in the Science Department at Short- ridge, teaching Zoology, Physiology, and Botany, until his un- timely death last May 30. It was a great shock to the school and the students to realize that this man would be with us no more. 5 THE PRESSROOM THE PRESSROOM IS THE HEART OF A NEWSPAPER, AND THE CLASSROOM IS THE HEART OF A SCHOOL. HERE AT SHORTRIDGE THE MANY FUNCTIONS WHICH ARE CAR- RIED ON ALL REVOLVE AROUND THE CLASSROOM, WHICH IS THE MOST IMPOR- TANT PHASE OF OUR SCHOOL LIFE. N w 1 w 1 ,, J The Managing Editor And Assistants . . . Just as the Managing Editor of a news- paper is responsible for the success of the publication, the principal of a high school is responsible for the success of that school. As you read in this An- nual the achievements of our school and our students in the past year, you can see that Joel W. Hadley is an out- standing leader. Here at Shortridge we think of Mr. Hadley not just as a principal. but a friend. Our vice-principals aid The Managing Editor in the complex problems of the school. They are the men who see that we obey our rules and regulations, and get a fair trial if We fail to do so. Russell V. Sigler has served in this capacity for three years now, While Robert L. Green is completing his second year with us. Mr. Green previously served at Broad Ripple High School. , 8 Aided By An Efficient Staff . . . DEAN OF GIRLS . . . It's hard to find a more hard-working person than Mrs. Hayden around Short- ridge. Besides giving first-rate advice to the girls, she sponsors our Student Board and the Girls' League. She not only helps the students, but many par- ents seek her assistance and coopera- tion With the child's needs. GUIDANCE . . . You will Welcome the expert advice that the Guidance Department gives to everyone free for the asking. Our Guidance Department keeps complete records on every student in Shortridge, in order to assist you in making out your program, what college to choose, and what kind of work you would like.

The Social Service Department stands ready and waiting to give aid to Shortridge students. It helps the student to adjust to the problems of high school life by offering personal and financial aid. The Social Service Department has always been an integral part of many students' lives in helping them through high school. 1 , J With A Skillful Crew Of Efficient Reporters First row: Mrs. Esther Cavanagh, Mrs. Ger- aldine Clippinger, Mrs. Josephine Bliss, Miss Dorothy Dipple, Mrs. Opal Conrad, Miss Reeta Clark, Miss Mildred Campbell.

With A Competent Business Force S NSI l ENGLISH . . . Our English Department now teaches English with a touch of democracy. An elected class president presides over each class and a secre- tary takes the roll. All this is to teach the students our democratic ways while they study Chaucer or Steinbeck. Interesting? You bet! It stimulates the students to do their work better. Besides the regular English curriculum a student can branch out into the fields of Public Speaking, Debate, Journalism, Dramatics, and Business English. Many extracurricular activi- ties are sponsored by the department along these lines, such as the Echo, Fiction Club, Radio Workshop, and Dramatics clubs. LIBRARY . . . Shakespeare? Emerson? Our library has these and many more in its twenty thousand have to hunt all the Way to volumes. Here, a pupil doesn't China to find a bookg an assist- ant librarian will help him.

Lower-Comp. class holds panel discussion takes great pride in one of the finest high school libraries in the country. Right-Shakespeare draws some smiles. HISTORY'.., In the land of milk and honey, In the central West, There we have our hist'ry section Ranked among the best. And our History Department really is tops. It not only teaches in the class room, but takes many field trips to show the students, iirst- hand, the machinery of our government and economic life. This year the History classes used a new plan of study, as each room was equipped with its own books, tables, and study facilities. A mock election of state officers was held to ac- quaint the students with the voting machine, and each History pupil cast his ballot on the machine. Upper right-Government class hears pupils' views. Lower right-Mr. Negley gives term papers the once-over. MATH... How high is our flagpole? How large is our campus? These are just a few of the projects our Math Department carries out every year in its classes. No, a student doesn't climb the Hagpole or measure the length of the campus. It's all done with a transit. Besides these things, our Math students place high in the Math Contests at I. U. every year. The Math Department offers a Wide range of instruction, with many different courses and the best of equipment for them. Instruments for surveying and computation of measurements are among the line equipment in this depart- ment. Upper left-Sophomores learn the fundamentals of geometry.

There is, however, a Psychology course offered by this department, and We were the first city school to institute such a course in our curriculum. Of course the usual Science courses are taught, and with the best and latest of equipment. These courses include Biology, Botany, Physiology, Zoology, Modern Geography, Geology, Chemistry and Physics. ' COMMERCE . . . Credit for working? Impossible! No, it's true you can get credit in the Com- merce Department for working outside school. The Commerce Department is one of the most practical departments in Shortridge. No one should graduate Without taking Typing, it is indispen- sable in college and everyday life. Our Commerce Department truly prepares a student for the business world. Upper-A new world is revealed through the microscope Middle- A bird in the hand . . Lower- Take a letter . . . LANGUAGE . . . Parlez-vous francais? Sprechen sie Deutsch? With the World shrinking every day, we need more and more to be able to speak other peo- ples' languages and understand their cultures. Students in French can correspond with chil- dren in France. Our Language Department is one of the few departments in the country that offers Greek to its pupils. It often brings noted speakers to talk to the students in its department on the merits of language in the World today. Four-year courses in French, German, Latin, and Spanish are offered by this department. In addition to the scholastic Work, the language office sponsors popular school clubs in which the students who study in those fields can participate. ART... Has anyone noticed the south corridor on the third floor? Why, of course, it's the Selleck Art Gallery. Art students display their paintings and pencil sketches here for all Shortridge to see. Our Art Department enters many con- tests and brings away honors. in all. Pupils become very adept at using their hands in all kinds of handicraft. Upper Right-Caesar made interesting Lower Right-German students admire their display Left-Talented hands at work Below-Actual demonstration by Mr. Johnson Stars in the making! PHYSICAL EDUCATION . . . Oooooo! OW! Whew! What a workout! Am I tired! Besides making us ache all over, the Physical Education Department trains us in many other ways: discipline, muscle coordina- tion, and many games. The boys stretch and strain in basketball, baseball, football, and wrestling, while the girls strive and sweat in dancing and rhythm exercises. This year the gym oiiice rented towels to all the boys, and gave everyone extra time to take a shower. Students get a well-rounded program from their athletic instructors, combining feats of skill, exercises, and games. A stitch in time . . . Girls' gym class toes the mark. HOME ECONOMICS . . . Girls make good wives . . . but they won't make really good ones until they have studied home economics. Our Home Economics Department teaches girls to go easy on their husbands' pocketbooks as well as their stomachs by teaching them to make their own clothing and prepare delightful, delicious, and delectable dinners. The halls on the second floor are often iilled with the aroma from the cooking classes which are whipping up a new batch of candy. If you walk by some of the Home Ec rooms you can see the girls cutting out patterns and preparing themselves for their future lives. Future homemalcers get acquainted with pots and pans. CAFETERDK... Watch out for the stampede! Is the building on ire? No, they're just hurrying to get into the lunch lines. Our lunch period is our fa- vorite, because we get such really good food. Mrs. Lichtenwalter certainly does a swell job in preparing such wholesome and palatable food. HEALTH... Feeling low? Got a headache? Or maybe a broken bone? Then our nurse, Miss Moran, can help you. At the iniirmary you can find a place to rest and have competent attention. Everyone knows the line service Miss Moran performsg she gives each student an examina- tion every year. BOOKSTORE... Gee, that class rings pretty! You say you got it at our bookstore? Besides handling our class jewelry, they sell us our textbooks, which we could not possibly do without. Our book- store sells everything from football tickets to typewriters. Mr. Hobbs really does a great job. Upper right-Frosh get acquainted with SHS food.

By fall when his assistants were chosen the book was Well under Way. The first job was scheduling senior pictures with Mr. Loudermilk, the photographer. At the rate of one nearly every ten minutes the chums were ready to be exchanged by the end of November. Janet Brucker and John Finley were responsible for seeing that every senior received his allotted sitting time at the studio. The successful Annual campaign was completed by No- vember 15, with Business Manager Pete Estabrook handling the finances. The senior liners were com- piled, interpreted and typed by Alice Gerlach, Bar- bara Babcock, Virginia Douglass and Shirley Swanson. The literary staff, Bob Deitch and Karen Martinson, Were responsible for the Writeups of the departments and the special events. All athletic events were covered by the sports staff-Max Schumacher, Pete Estabrook, Otto Feucht and Lois Walker. The club and group pictures were ably handled by Mary Ann Smith and Mary Gianakos, who scheduled the pho- tographs with each group and Wrote the accompany- ing stories to each club. The art work, including cover design and cartoon Work, was handled by Patsy Patton. Danny worked with the staff, the engraver, photographers, and printers in tying the knot of completion.

Since its beginning as a daily paper fifty-two years ago, the purpose of the Shortridge Daily Echo has been to ac- quaint the students and followers of Shortridge with current news of school activities. Each daily issue has its own staff of writers, who receive assignments and write copy for editors to copyread and prepare for publication. Most popular features of the paper are the who's who stories, the personal columns, and the sports section. In addition to the general news staffs an advertising staif draws and writes copy for many of the big downtown department stores. Also a circulation staff delivers the daily issues to the hornerooms where in turn they are distributed by the Echo agents. Printing and publishing a newspaper calls for finances, so for this job there is a business manager. He and his staff see that Echo sub- scriptions are paid and check all other financial matters. The Daily Echo is the pride of Shortridge. Friday Staff-Standing-Jerry William- son, Jack Sogard, Otto Feucht, Nancy Drew, Carol West, Dan Wakefield, Mari- lyn Holtman, Lucinda Rohm, Phil Land- man.

One of the special editions of the Echo is the Christmas edition. After the editor, Suzanne Berry, was appointed, the Christmas poem contest was an- nounced in English classes, and the winners for the cover design contest were judged, the Christmas Echo was on its way. This holiday edition in- cluded stories and poems written by students, letters from Santa Claus, yule- tide greetings from Mr. Hadley, and other special features. CORRESPONDENCE . . . Practical reporting experience with In- dianapolis' big three newspapers while still in school and getting paid for it is the opportunity that awaits the stu- dents enrolled in journalistic corre- spondence.

Coach Gale praises the champs Auclitoriums . . . We'll not soon forget the fine auditorium pro- grams of the past year. Who can forget the thrill of our victory rally as We paid tribute to the 1949 city football champs? The cheering and enthusiasm of the students, and the introductions of the boys by Mr. Gale made that one of our most spirited sessions. The excellent message delivered to us on our Thanksgiving Day program by Dr. Pierce, and the inspiring talk of Dr. Hunter were appreciated by Come on, Blue- everyone. The traditional Christmas auditorium, pre- sented this year by our Music Department remains as a happy memory of the holiday season. The crazy antics of the Bluebelle-Uglyman candidates as they impersonated radio characters Will be remembered as one of the most entertaining sessions in Caleb Mills Hall. Then came the sectionals, and Mr. Steiner introduced his team in the pep auditorium for bas- ketball. These, perhaps, were the highlights of a fine year of activities in the big hall. Mr. Steiner gives dribbling demonstration Auditorium traffic Shortridgers Make The Headlines. . . SCIENCE . . . Tao Yuan Chen, senior science student, won the Outstanding Science Award at the meeting of the Indiana Junior Academy of Science held at Wabash College last Nov- ember. Tao's award came on the merit of past record in scientific achievement plus the experiment he entered in the contest. His experiment was a demonstration and paper on 'tWhat Will the Frog Heart Do?,' a study of the effects of various drugs on a frog's heart. Throughout the past year many Shortridgers have made outstanding achievements in various fields, and brought honor to themselves and the school. The people pictured here are but a few of the many 34th Street students who have proved themselves as real 'tHeadliners. This group, perhaps, is representative of the many varied fields in which so many Shortridge stu- dents excel. FooTBALL . . . p Bill Ralph, one of the finest athletes in Shortridge history, gained the highest honor of his career as he was named as a starting end on the Indianapolis Times' All-State Football team. Ralph earned his third varsity letter in football this year, and was voted as the t'Most Valuable Player on the Satan squad by his teammates. This versatile athlete also earned three letters in basketball, in which he holds the school scoring record, and three letters in baseball. In Many Various Fields GOLF ... Pete Burkholder, talented young links star, was the medalist in the Indiana State High School Golf Meet in 1949, and led Shortridge to its iirst state championship. Pete notched a 73 on the course to cop top honors, and helped the Shortridge quartet to its record-breaking foursome total of 314 strokes. This was a new low, surpassing the old mark of 317 strokes shot by Lafayette in 1932. Burkholder won a major letter in the tee sport, and was back this year to pace the current squad. -x t fr y ecLQ'fL Q'3iZ1A 4 U ,Ufef 1Z 0 t C r at L eftfefg parte? f N ful' ji 312 I SPEECH... f Dick Lugar, outstanding Shortridge de- bater and speaker, won the Marion County HVoice of Democracy' contest sponsored by the Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Com- merce.

The Family Frolic December 2 was the date for the annual family fun night. From eight to eighty the crowds turned out to hear the German Band in the International Casino, to have their fortunes told by wandering gypsies, to buy cakes and candy, white elephants, hot dogs and cokes. The style show attracted many interested visitors. The game room and hobby ex- hibitions were musts on everyone's list. The ques- tion of the evening was Have you cast your vote for Frolic Queen?,' Yes, a queen was elected from four girls, nominated by senior homeroom students to reign over the festival. The highlight of the auditorium show, which included a variety of songs, stunts and dances, was the crowning of the lovely queen, Mary Ann Smith. The other candidates were Patty Ball, Rosalyn Izor, and Nancy Lewis. When the clock finally struck twelve, the frolickers Went home to wait another happy time next year.

The Radio Room The Shortridge Radio Studio located in rooms 344 and 343 will be an important addition to the school. The studio will consist of broadcast and spectator studios, a control room, and an oiiice. It will be furnished with the latest equipment including a fifty-watt transmitter which may be installed during the summer of 1950. The English department will arrange the programs and the Physics department will be in charge of all technical matters. The studio will be of great value to pupils interested in any phase of radio broadcasting Work.

The studio was completed in the spring of 1950 with regular classes scheduled next fall. Behind the scenes. A radio serial in full swing. This looks like a comedy program. 77 R.O.T.C... The R.O.T.C. unit at Shortridge has partici- pated as the color guard at football and basket- ball games and have ushered for many other SHS activities. They also have the responsibility of raising and lowering the flag every morning and afternoon. They have marched in patriotic pa- rades and fired in many national and local rifle matches. Those matches have been the 5th Army Riiie Match, the William Randolph Hearst Rifle Match, and the city match in which they placed second. One of the many advantages of the Junior R.O.T.C. is that three years taken in a secondary school is equivalent to one year of senior R.O.T.C. Two years of Senior R.O.T.C. is required at every land grant college so that three years at Short- ridge would only mean taking a required one year at a state land grant school. The sponsors of the R.O.T.C. unit are M-Sgt. Albert C. Fischer and Sgt. Michael Bayer. Upper left-Class instruction on the automatic riHe. Sgt. Bowman, Sgt. Newbauer, Sgt. Hardesty, Cpl.

Debate May, 1949 . . . Shortridge Debaters Win State Championship .... This team, Bob Lich- tenauer and Dick Lugar, afiirmativeg Walter Wolf and Dan Nyhart, negative, were the first in Indiana debating history to take the cham- pionship by winning all eight of their contests. This triumph made the third state title for Shortridge. Since the debating championship has never been won by one school in two consecutive years, the 1950 team has a challenge to be another first in Indiana debating history. The 1950 team consists of Alan Weber and Dick Lugar, aflirmativeg Joseph Commiskey and Bob Brunner, negative. The national question to be debated by all high schools is Resolved: That the President of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the people. This question was debated with Speedway to contest the regional championship. Next stop was Manchester Col- lege and the play-off where the eight regional winners battled for the state title. In the debate and 'discussion classroom, cur- rent issues are debated in order that the stu- dents might become more familiar with the procedures of organized debate. Such problems as Socialized Medicine, the St. Lawrence Sea- way, and Shall Congress Override the Supreme Court Decision by Two-thirds Vote were topics on which the debaters used their skill of per- suasion and argumentation. The defending state champions opened their campaign on a victorious note, ousting Speedway and earning a ticket to the state finals. Their defense of the crown, however, was unsuccessful as they captured three of their eight debates. At the same time Hammond Clark was chalking up seven victories in its eight contests to cop the state title. The Satan affirmative team of Lugar and Weber captured two of their four matches, while the negative squad of Brunner and Com- miskey garnered but a single win in their four tries. This left the Blues with a season record of four won, five lost. From the varsity squad, Lugar, Commiskey, and Brunner will be graduated in June, leaving sophomore Alan Weber to remain as the nucleus for next year's squad. Other senior debaters who tried out for the team are Phil Landman, Art Baxter, and Bill Gant. C. C. Shoemaker, who has brought three state debate crowns to Shortridge will be back to coach the 1951 squad. lLf1 4ix W Wx x 9 . 1, Cyn K 4 aw V flev Dick Lugar, Art Baxter, Alan Weber, Bob Brunner, mf' 2 Phil Landman, Bill Gant, Joe Commiskey, Mr. Shoe- Dick Lugar, Alan Weber, Joe Commiskey, Bob Brunner maker.

RADIO WORKSHOP . . . The Radio Workshop proved to be very active this year, with one of the largest enrollments of any school club.

The Student Board is the governing council of the school, where the pupils may have a voice in school issues and problems. It is the purpose of the board to pro- mote the best interest of the school, and keep Shortridge among the best. This year Marilyn Holtman served her second term as president, having led the group during her junior year as well. 87 PAN AMERICAN CLUB . . .

THE SENATE . . . The Senate members pride themselves in be- longing to the oldest club at Shortridge. It is now sixty-two years old.

SHORTRIDGE 6 CATHEDRAL 0 The Blue Devils got back into the win column with a hard-fought 6-0 victory over Cathedral's Irish. Bob Gilchrist hit right guard from the 7 for the game's only touchdown.

John Lauter, Norman Klein, Bill Ralph, and hard-running Dick Clifton all crossed the double stripe in an easy victory played on the Broad Ripple field. Ward Walker passed to Ralph and Lauter for the P.A.T.s. SHORTRIDGE 18 MANUAL 0 Dick Falender pounced on a fumble on Manual's 48 and on the first play from scrimmage John Lauter passed to Bill Ralph for 6 points. Lauter circled left end for the next touchdown and Bob Gilchrist dashed 81 yards for the final score. SHORTRIDGE 6 BROAD RIPPLE 0 After missing a golden scoring opportunity in the first quarter, Shortridge came back to push over the needed points in the third and then held on for dear life to record their fifth straight city victory. Bob Gilchrist swivel-hipped his way 19 yards around right end after taking a lateral from Ward Walker. SHORTRIDGE 6 TECH 0 Shortridge took the field against Tech as a definite underdog but the experts didn't reckon with the fighting hearts of Coach George Gale and his lads. A second period pass from John Lauter, who threw from his 38, to Bill Ralph on the 26 hung the winning points on the scoreboard for Shortridge. 105 Upper-Gilchrist on his way.

Skinner award for most valuable player. The William C. Burnett Tough- man trophy was awarded to Rufus Marks. Dick Clifton and Forrest von Foerster were named the Most Improved Back and Most Improved Lineman, respectively, and were given the William and Lewis Skinner trophy. Bob Gilchrist was awarded the Sportsmanship trophy, and Tom Perine was elected Honorary Captain for the squad. The James A. Davis Freshman trophy went to Roland Passwater.

The Lettermanis Club, composed of boys who have won their varsity monograms, serves in many capaci- ties for the good of the school, and annually gives a scholarship to one of its members. How about a rubdown? Where's a towel? These are familiar sounds to managers of the athletic teams. They are the boys who are so valuable to the coaches in taking charge of the equipment and per- forming many of the unpublicized tasks which must be done before the teams can perform. These men behind the scenes are an important factor in school athletics. First row: Roberts, Foltz. Second row: Summerfield, Estabrook, Gallagher, Schumacher.

Due to the loss of Bill Ralph during the middle of the season the basketball team went through the first part of the year with a losing record. But when Bill returned, the Satans quickly went to work and won eight of their last nine games, ending the campaign with an 11-9 reading. Although the won- lost ledger suffered during Ralph's scholastic exile, the players gained valuable experience. Two tall boys, Jack Axline and Dick Supple, learned to clear the rebounds in ine style, while diminutive Ken Eiler developed an accurate set-shot. Ward Sexson and Ward Walker, two juniors, were also gaining valuable experience, and when the big boy returned, the Devils became a well-balanced club and a real threat. The Steinermen opened against Greenfield, and dropped a close 36-33 tilt to the Tigers. Next week the home boys rolled over Noblesville, and then de- feated St. Mary's of Anderson. Southport and Ft. Wayne South Side smothered the small Blue team, but during the Holiday Tourney at Howe, the 34th Big Bill looks for points. Street cagers shaded Ft. Wayne Central, 41-37, as Eiler led the way. In the night game a potent Ft. Wayne North Side crew felled the Blues, and plunged them into a mid-season slump to the tune of a dismal four-game losing streak. With the return of Ralph, the Blues walloped Howe, as Bill notched 16 points and Supple broke away for 18. The next four were taken by the Demons with Ralph, Supple and Eiler leading the way, until they were edged by powerful Tech, 34-30. In the first sectional tilt Shortridge looked impres- sivesive in coming from behind to smother Sacred Heart, 52-38. Unfortunately, however, a determined Howe team ousted the Satans in the second round, 48-41. In three years at Shortridge Ralph established a new scoring record. Although playing in only 13 games he poured in 228 points for a brilliant 17.5 average. His three-year record was 703 points for a 13.3 game average.

This was partly due to the fact that some of the top B-squad performers were often seeing varsity action only. Bob Bruce, Jim King, Jim Jinks, Charles Shoe- maker, Don Hunter, Bob Stallwood, and Walter Mercer were among those who gained the most var- sity experience through the season. Bruce, Jinks, and Shoemaker dressed with the big squad for the sectionals. The Kingmen enjoyed their biggest vic- tory string early in the season as they annexed live of their Hrst eight contests. Jacobs. ERESHMEN . . . The freshman basketeers enjoyed a winning sea- son, copping their first six successive games before bowing to Broad Ripple. Tom Woods, head coach, turned over the coaching reins to Alan 'ABuzz,' Levin- son in midseason, in order to devote full time to his physical education duties. Levinson, a former Short- ridge court ace himself, guided the rhinies through the remainder of the season.

These three fellows led the team in twelve meets, opening with an indoor relay meet on the Indiana University track March 24 and ending with the state meet. The Blue Devil cindermen went into their first meet of the 1949 season without the help of any returning lettermen, and dropped a 72-37 decision to Jefferson of Lafayette. The Wzlson leads the pack. Blues managed six first places, but lacked the necessary depth to cope with the strength of the host team. Bob Gilchrist was the only double winner of the day for Shortridge as he captured both hurdle events. Back at the 43rd Street oval the Knightmen edged Bloomington University in a dual encounter, 53V2-515. In this meet Dick Christy led the way With blue ribbons in both dashes. Soon after, the thinlies lost their final dual outing of the season, 555- 53Mg, at the hands of Manual.

' GC l 2, Broad Ripple 12 During the past season the Blue Devil batsmen played a rough schedule, highlighted by the City Tourney at Victory Field. Playing regularly on the diamond were lettermen Bill Ralph, Pete Kappes, Horace Turner, Joe Klefeker, Max Schumacher, and Kenny Eiler. Schumacher captained the crew through- out the season, from his second-base position. Kappes and Turner carried the brunt of the mound duties. During the 1949 season Coach Jerry Steiner's crew came out on the good side of a 14-5 record. Kappes showed his stulf with a 7-2 mark, his only defeats coming from Ripple's city champions, while Turner's arm earned him a 5-2 reading. Outfielder-pitcher Freddy Davis won two and lost one. Turner and Kappes get in shape. 'l' City Tourney With such power as this the Satans advanced to the final game of the city tournament, and Howe and Broad Ripple were the only teams to keep the Devils from a clean slate. Steiner's men conquered many squads who had held a margin on them in past seasons, defeating Washington twice, subduing Southport in nine innings,' slipping by Manual and extending their victories over Tech to three straight. The Blues had an impressive fielding record of .922 which accounted for many of the wins. Varsity letters were awarded to Davis, Glesing, Stout, and Dick Fleck, who was chosen honorary captain.
