Full text Happy Birthday, Echo SHORTRIDGE 1 DAILY ECHO Vol. 70, No. 12 Shortridge High School, Indianapolis, Indiana Tuesday, September 26, 1967 Choral Benefit To Feature Group From Ball State On September 30, the Choral Benefit wiU again be presented In Caleb Mills Hall at 8 p.m. for the eighth consecutive year. The admission price Is $1.00. The money made from the benefit will be used for a Cappella's Choral Classic In the spring. This year the Choral Classic will feature 60 members of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra with the a Cappella Choir. With the necessary added rehearsals, the classic will cost approximately $6,000. Therefore the success of the classic is dependent upon a financially rewarding choral benefit. This time the University Sing- *ers from BaU State University will be featured along with the Tom Preble Trio. The University Singers will sing a variety of folk songs, jazz arrangements, and solo numbers; and a special guest star will be Tom Hensley, noted pianist on the Jim Ger- old Show. Eric Smith Receives Saturday Scholarship To Herron Art School Eric Smith, an Art VIII pupil who has received a final A for each of his seven semesters of art here at Shortridge, has received a scholarship to the John Herron Art School Saturday Life Drawing class for the school year of 1967-68. He has been an outstanding pupil in art at Shortridge and no doubt will bring credit to himself and Shortridge by the use of this scholarship, according to Charles Yeager, head of thc art department.

Mrs. Dorothy Otto is cochairman with Sterling Shaw, the associate director of admissions at Purdue University. Lester Groth is chairman of the panel discussion on "What Should a Freshman-Sophomore Counselor Be Doing to Aid the College-bound and/or the Disadvantaged." WiUiam Merrill is on the registration committee. Other Shortridge counselors who will be attending are Mrs. Josephine Bliss, Mrs. Doris Elkins, Thomas Harding, George Theofanis, and Jerry Steiner. Teachers at SHS Beverly Koepper Rejoins Annual Mrs. Beverly Koepper, in addition to her four English classes, is Shortridge's new Annual adviser, and is responsible for supervising production and being sure that the yearbook follows school policy. The yearbook has 18 division editors, five of whom are underclassmen. Editor-in- chief is Esther Eisman. Mrs. Koepper received her bachelor of arts in journalism and English from Ball State University. She transferred there from Purdue. Last year she taught Kindergarten. She had started graduate school, but said that since she had gone to sum mer school every year while she was in coUege going for a master's right away seemed to be too much. In her spare time Mrs. Koepper is learning to cook. She has been married for only six weeks and is still trying to find places to put everything. "I'm so far behind in my housework it's not even funny," she said with a grimace. Mrs. Koepper and her husband often go to Lafayette and they have "lots of company." Mrs. Koepper is a graduate of Shortridge and was editor of thc Annual in her senior year. Echo Starts Seventieth year of Continuous Publication Fletcher Bernard Wagner, the first editor of the Echo, recognized fully the difficult task that began on September 26, 1898, and has continued since for 70 years of publication. The first issue held a message that still pertains to every Shortridge reporter struggling to meet his deadline— "To publish a daily paper in a high school is a dangerous undertaking. It has never been attempted before, and we real- that much labor and energy will be necessary to continue it. We feel, howevei, tha". if any high school is capable of supporting a daily iKyvspapgf, it is the In- dlanapolls»High School; and with that faith in its ability, we have commenced publication." First Publications In 1880 Were Weeklies Predecessors of the Shortridge Daily Echo go as far back as the Junior Journal and Representative of 1880 and 1881. Both were weekly publications. Later the Silent Spectator of 1896 and Comet of 1897 set thc stage for the Echo. The first issues were handset, and had only one sheet and three columns. Subscriptions could be purchased foi*"20c per month. An appropriation of $250 by thc School board purchased a printing press in December. Then, as now, the work has been done entirely by the pupils under guidance of a supervisor. Formerly each day had a different editor, staff, and supervisor which created rivalry. Now the different staffs and editors are united under a single supervisor. Paper Renamed Shortridge Daily Echo After nine years the paper, along with the school, moved to a new building. The paper was renamed the Shortridge Daily Echo. The paper is believed to be the first daily high school paper in the world. Now it is one in about five daily high school papers in the world. Special editions of thc Echo are published for the annual Family Frolic and Christinas Echo. The Frolic edition is printed on bright-colored paper. The Christmas Echo contains about 30 pages of pupils' contributions. The 50th anniversary of the Shortridge Daily Echo was heralded by a banquet held in the school cafeteria in the year of 1947-48. Thc Echo has now graduated to a four-page four-column daily priced at 50c per semester. Thc Echo is to all "the string that holds Shortridge together." DEADLINE SET FOR COUNCIL Mrs. Dorothy L.
