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

The Main Office An Open Letter to Shortridge Stu- dents: Have you ever gone into the Main Of- fice without a specific reason? It might be worth your while to walk in and ab- sorb the atmosphere. I must warn you, though, not to get in the way. There are a few chairs aroundp take a seat in one and just look around you. Mr. johnson, Mr. King, or Mr. Old- ham are sure to walk by, enter their of- fices and continue their work. Their se- cretaries are busy typing, filing, phon- ing, or taking their very precious coffee breaks. Teachers, parents, custodians, security police, and students are likely to be arranging plans, solving prob- lems, receiving orders or just talking with the friendly people in high places. The telephone is being answered as quickly as it rings. The mail has just arrived and is being distributed. The Main Office has an air of confu- sion. But this is an orderly confusion. -' Everything is being taken care of.
