CHAIRMEN DIRECT ACTS FOR JUNIOR VAUDEVILLE SHORTRIDGE DAILY ECHO The World's Oldest High School Daily Vol. 61, No. 91 SHORTRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1959 3 CENTS Good Morning . . . By Joel Whitaker All seems to be going rather nicely for the space boys, and they seem convinced that within 15 years there will be regular manned flights to the moon. By the year 2,000, according to Dr. Harold E. Mehrens, Civil Air Patrol editorial and curriculum director in Washington, teenagers will be accompanying expeditions to the moon in the same manner as teenagers participated ln Operation Deepfreeze In 1956 and 1957. Hurrah for our team! Some people do not favor scientific experiments in the dual fields of atomic energy and space exploration; however, others feel that the program should be accelerated. All of the progress and comforts which this 20th century generation enjoys would not have been possible if those Interested In airpower, electricity, oil, steel, etc., had just sat at home reading a book. While a great deal of human knowledge has been gained by experimentation in the past, that experimentation does not nearly equal the cost of one missile shot from Cape Canaveral. And yet, the possibilities which space exploration opens for better radio transmission, for different types of vocations, etc., makes it appear to us that it is well worth the miUlon or so which is spent on each rocket that goes up. We look forward to the conquest ot space. ALL-SCHOOL CHESS CONTEST SPONSORED That there shall be an aU-school chess tournament was decided by the Shortridge Chess Club during the first meeting of the spring semester, last Friday.
