BUILDING - Shortridge High School has been at 3401 N. Meridian for fifty years. It was dedicated in 1928. Since then, Shortridge has had a shaky future. For years it has been threatened with closing. Recently it has been pro- vided with new foundations for an even longer future. The school has been promised new facilities and is expand- ing physically. Shortridge is also ex- panding in population. Because stu- dents from private and parochial schools are transferring to Shortridge, it is growing. I-Iowever, BUILDING is more than a structure with new facilities and new people. BUILDING is growing and changing, and adding new interests to your life. It is preparing yourself for life after high school. BUILDING is adopt- ing values and ideas. BUILDING is also progressing toward a goal and forming relationships with people you en- counter. Shortridge is a changing establish- ment, expanding, growing - BUILD- ING. P ' Y, A . It at . 4 , , .,. , 4 . 1 Q 1 . ss, 1 A w., 1 ,, cg, .J . -,ffv 1. CHARITY DYE LIBRARY 3 SHOJRIRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL

Beautiful Sites The community offers much to the Shortridger. There are businesses, shops, and stores ranging from King's Drugstore to the Viking Bakery and Big Fella's. Churches sponsor sports pro- grams, youth meetings, and religious services. Public services, such as the Metro, are used by students every day. The community also offers special pro- grams out of school. Shortridgers par- ticipate in math, poetry, and chemistry contests, the Indiana University Honors Program in Foreign Language, Minority Engineering, journalism workshops, and political conferences. Shortridge depends on the commu- nity for support of programs and ac- tivities. Parents are involved with team sports, parent-teacher organizations, and volunteer work. The ECHO, the TF.. ,ff X, ,K If Surround SHS ANNUAL, the program for Iunior Vau- deville, and the programs for various sports depend on ads from businesses and patrons. Shortridge is a neighborhood school. Two of its feeder neighborhoods are naturally integrated. This, and the fact that the community showed its concern when closing was threatened are two reasons that Shortridge was kept open. The community would do poorly without Shortridge. Attending a neighborhood school increases stu- dents' pride in their community. We are proud of the Shortridge community. Right- North United Methodist Church is one beautiful sight for the students who walk home from school. Above - The unique architecture of this building reveals how modern the museum is. 4
