Roy Aberson, Annual Dedicatee The Seniors Choose f'Abie Amid a thunderous round of applause, Roy Aberson humbly and gratefully accepted the tribute which the Class of 1954 bestowed upon him in the dedication of their Annual. This is only a small way to repay him for the friendli- ness, loyalty, cooperation and enthusiasm he has shown us. In our four years at Shortridge, we have observed and worked with him as teacher. coach, and sponsor. We know full well his sin- cere interest in our activities, his encouragement of our projects, and his ever-present loyalty to the high ideals and standards which exemplify the Shortridge spirit. To him, therefore, we are proud to dedicate this, our Annual of 1954.

As classes assumed a somewhat normal routine, public speaking students could be found dis- cussing world problems, eulogizing famous per- sons, and demonstrating the finer points of play- ing chess. Budding biologists did their home- work outdoors as they frantically searched for unusual bugs and leaves. The library was a popular place during study periods as students made good use of its 23,400 volumes. Along with these events, there were students of government and problems taking study trips, chemists pre- paring mercuric oxide, and many typists missing numerous keys. Truly, classes at 34th and Me- ridian were in full swing.
