As School Gets New Heating System Examples of endless change also included new Shortridge Band uni- forms and instrument lockers. This addition was paid for by donations, bumper sticker sales, and receipts from the annual Sweaterman ' s Concert. The ever increasing book stock in the Charity Dye Library shows more change. The stock has reached over 43,000 volumes. This makes it one of the largest in Indiana. The school building itself boasts of a changing face of which its nearly 1800 students and 100 teachers are proud. IDGE HIGH SCHOO CHORAL BENEFIT WITH THE .

Band Receives Long Awaited Uniforms Seniors add bright color to the front of the school like fall adds to the trees. Shortridge High School ' s sur- roundings are constantly changing. Beginning in the spring of 1968 the old heating system was re- vamped and workmen busily began the massive undertaking of install- ing a new one. They worked through the summer session and on into the chilly month of October. Evidence of their handiwork was ever present, as the pupils dodged rows of card- board boxes and metal pipes. Co- operation was the word as pupils realized the great need for work to proceed quickly, for cold months were to arrive soon.

String players concentrate on techniques for beautiful melodies. Shortridge harriers head for a mud bath. Students Enjoy a Myriad of Activities With justified loyalty Sue Bradakis, John Hobbs and Nancy Barrett watch football action. People! Shortridgers must have been some of the most active and diversified people in the world! In the Fall each pupil acquainted him- self with school year haunts. The Burger Chef was again an important meeting place. Then football games began and the festivities of the sea- son provided a good excuse for hay- rides and parties. Winter came and shivering stu- dents found hallways better for con- gregating than bus stops and parks. And congregate they did, for dis- cussion, or for just fun and re- laxation. Spring finalized the year. It was almost commencement for the se- niors and almost prom time for the juniors. Many people were nostalgic; many were gleeful. Everyone was busy. Some got ready for college and starting again as freshmen, some for another year at Shortridge and some for numerous other adventures.
