The programs, arranged by Mrs. Hope B. Nevitt, director of productions, provide the student body with an average of one auditorium per week which will entertain, educate, or honor. The variety of programs includes pep sessions, holiday pageants, teasers, campaign promotions, Glenn Cunningham, a former Olympiang spiritual leaders, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Shortridge dramatic and music groups, along with individual students.
