ur Man of the Year As a tribute to his friendship and leadership, his teaching abilities and his contributions to the school, Robert M. King was selected as Shortridge's Man of the Year for the Class of 1957. During Mr. King's nine years at Shortridge he not only has contributed to our school materially, but he has become known for his understanding way with students when they most need help and guidance. This understanding of high school stu- dents and their problems has won a place in the hearts of Shortridgers, grads, and parents. In the classroom Mr. King teaches the problems confronting us in Health and Safety along with an elective course, Alcohol and Narcotics. Kinger, as he is known on the field and in the gym, aids the Shortridge athletic department, in addition to his coaching, with invaluable scout- ing notes on opposing teams. In the Shortridge tradition the Class of 1957 dedicates the Annual to a person who has given wholeheartedly to Shortridge and its school life- the Man of the Year. In the classroom, Mr. King puts life into a course required for all students, Health and Safety. He also instructs an elective course, Alcohol and Narcotics. Kinger gives the boys a few tips for better play in the huddle as he coaches his reserve basketball squad.
