Mums the Word
FRIDAY IS DAY
FOR ANNUAL SALE
OF FLOWERS
Chrysanthemum Day and
Homecoming are synonymous for
Shortridge.
Ever since 1953, just after the
local chapter of Quill and Scroll
had been installed in thc spring,
members have sponsored the sale
of Mums for a fall football game.
When Homecoming became a
tradition, the honorary group
decided that it was the logical
time to have thc sale of Mums.
Three hundred flowers have
been ordered, and early Friday
morning they will be delivered
and will be sold by members of
Quill and Scroll, some of the
Echo editors and reporters, and
journalism class members who
have been drafted to help.
If the sale goes along as it
usually docs, before school and
during thc first periods and the
early lunch periods will be thc
busy ones. The supply is usually
exhausted by thc time that the
parade starts.
Thc large white Mums, complete with Shortridge blue ribbon and a corsage pin, will be
sold for 50 cents. No advance
orders  will   be   solicited.
