How In the world can some
Shortridgers lose things Uke Ught
blue shorty coats with gold buttons
(there's a double-breasted number
in white, too)? if half the parents of SHS students could see
where the wool scarves, mittens
and hats they Innocently purchased
to keep their offspring warm are
now lying they would probably disown the kids for Ufe.
A gym class of modern size could
be outfitted ta suits from the lost
and found alone; and Jewelry! By
actual test all five fingers of one
girl's hand were covered completely
by rings ta the lost and found.
It would be safe to wager that
every fifth Shortridger has contrlb
uted something to  the  lost and
found. The foUowlng story proves
it:
Two Echo reporters who were
sent down to write Inspiring features so that the students would
claim their lost articles returned
with extremely red faces the other
day. One found a supposedly van
lshed raincoat and the other returned with a pair of long-lost
mittens.
