              Inside Shortridge . . .
Goodies in the home economics department keep the second
floor classes In a state of hunger. At the present the girls are
making delicacies for their
Christmas boxes.
Herb Rhodes, the Star photographer who was taking pictures here Wednesday, Is a former Shortridge pupil and was
photographer for the Annual In
his senior year. Mr. Rhodes is
the second yearbook photographer in recent years to have
made a profession of his high
school avocation. The other,
Robert Camp, is at Eastman
Kodak Company. He visited
Shortridge recently.
Plans for the Military Ball are
advancing rapidly if the number of telephone conversations ls
an Indication. Acceptances and
regrets have been coming from
the mayor on down.
The answer to a query as to
why the Booster Club hired a
bus and went en masse to an
out-of-town game at Richmond,
and didn't get together for a
city tussle at Indiana Central
was logical. It seems the gals do
perform at nearby games, but
they furnish their own transportation.
Willard Gambold, assistant to
the superintendent of the IndlanapoUs schools, George Ostheimer, has been selected to
represent the schools in Legislature this year. Mr. Gambold is
a former teacher and vice-
principal of Shortridge.
Faculty members have been
asked to save the afternoon of
December 14 at 3 o'clock for the
annual Christmas Tea. It will be
held in the library.
Antique Apothecary
Jars Spell Holiday
Greetings in Window
Christmas has come to Shortridge via the physical science
department!
In the form of a window ln
"Ye Old Apothecary Shoppe,"
green and red filled flasks spell
out "Merry Christmas," and the
14 apothecary jars, which contain drugs of their day, lend
a holiday air.
Bits of greenery and a string
of tiny colored lights show
through the snow in the display
window outside 345 and "Merry
Christmas" is wished to all by
the letters strung across.
The apothecary jars, according to Robert C. Grubbs, head
of the department, are over 100
years old and contain the same
drugs they did when SHS received them from an old drug
.store.

Boys! Watch Out
for Waistlines!
A recent poll of great significance was taken; however, the
subjects used are not average,
and the figures are not completely accurate. Nevertheless, a
definite conclusion may be
reached, though its validity may
be questioned.
There Is an observed difference between those who do and
shouldn't, and those who should
and don't—eat, that Is.
Noting the prices of some of
Shortridgers' lunches, it's no
wonder that students often require midweekly bonuses. All
would be fine and good, but
looking at the tray content-
sometimes changes one's mind.
Now for the figures: Out of
20 girls, the average cost per
meal was 50 cents, while 19
boys provided an average of 59
cents per Friday lunch. The major trend was toward fish sandwiches, ice cream, all kinds of
"snack" foods, pie, and milk or
orange drink.
Hi-Pi'<ers Discover
Foomersl . . .
Foomers! A new math term?
No, couldn't be! Planes? No!
Well, the members of Hl-Pl on

Then they were "let ln on" the
secret. They're birds that can
be made without much trouble.
Foomers are constructed of paper, and have wings that
move! The girls thoeght they
were just precious! The boys
thought they were hilarious!
Foomers! Hmmm. . . .
On the more practical side,
however, new business was discussed. On December 15 Hl-Pl

merge and have a Christmas
party. Only members wTll be Invited. Details will be***' In the
Echo later.
The Math Club will be meeting on Thursday, from ""How. on.
Hi-Pi will still be on alternating
Mondays.
GOODIES' WINDOW
IS PRETTY TOO
The popcorn trees, angels,
bells, snowmen, and cookie tree
in the window outside room 240
have been drawing admiring
comments. Everything was made
by girls in foods classes for Junior Red Cross.

Class Experiments
in Reading, Testing
Experimenting with the college system of reading the material and then taking a test on
it is Mrs. Lissa Cox's eighth hour
English Vg class.
The pupils were to read a
short section in their literature
book and take a test on it Monday. Whether the experiment
was a success or not will not

better if the material is discussed in class before a test.
