Shortridge was founded in 1864 as Indianapolis High School and was the state's first free high school. The school's name was changed to Shortridge in 1898 at the request of the Indianapolis school board. The school was, at least in part, the product of the persistence of Indiana educator Caleb Mills. Mills had doggedly lobbied the state legislature for free public schools throughout the 1840's and 1850's.
Abram C. Shortridge, the man for whom the school was named, was elected as school superintendent in 1863. Shortridge became known for his high standards and his reliance upon rigorous testing. In spite of the fact that the school was founded in 1864, superintendent Shortridge would not allow students to attempt high school level work until 1865. In subsequent years errant faculty as well as students were subjected to weekly drills until a subject was mastered to his satisfaction.
Some of Shortridge's other policies also had a profound effect on the nature and the quality of education at the high school. One of his most important decisions involved the hiring of female teachers. Because of the low salaries offered, he recommended that women rather than men be hired to teach. For the next several decades, these women would serve as the main providers of low cost, high quality education in the city of Indianapolis.
Some of the most important of these teachers were Laura Donnan, Charity Dye, Amelia Platter, and Roda Selleck. Dye, Platter and Selleck--English, math, and art teachers, respectively--were all highly accomplished women. Dye was also remembered for her feminism, although she was better known for her historical pageants and her sponsorship of the student publication, the Dawn. When a new Shortridge library was opened in 1928, it was named the Charity Dye Library in her honor. Laura Donnan taught history, civil government, political economy, Latin, and geometry at different times throughout her 47-year career at Shortridge, and was one of the first sponsors of the Echo in 1899, the first and longest running high school daily in the country.
In 1878--only fourteen years after it had opened-- Shortridge served 502 students with a faculty of eleven. The students were almost exclusively white and were, for the most part, the children of laborers, mechanics, and merchants. Between 1910 and 1920 the racial composition of the Shortridge community changed. The number of black students in Indianapolis high schools rose to approximately 800 in 1920. At Shortridge they comprised 15 percent of the student population. Race relations only became an issue when a segregated high school, Crispus Attucks, was opened in 1927.
By the late 1920's Shortridge had ceased to be a neighborhood school. Its students and faculty now commuted to school from various parts of the city. This marked the beginning of the urban migration, which would eventually contribute to Shortridge's demise. Throughout the following years Shortridge continued to maintain established traditions and to create new ones. The Shortridge chapter of the National Honor Society was established in 1921. Junior Vaudeville and the school mascot, Felix the Cat, became popular parts of Shortridge in 1927. The increased number of clubs and organizations corresponded to the size of the school; there were more students now than ever before. Shortridge had grown beyond its capacity in a short period of time. Faculty and students moved into the new building on 34th Street in the fall of 1928.
The 1930's brought several new problems. Almost as soon as the new building was opened, it was too small for the student body. Depression-era unemployment contributed to the large class size; graduates stayed in school simply because they had no place else to go. Students often did not have enough money to pay for textbooks and school supplies. The PTA became very active, stepping in to provide emergency funds for these students. They also purchased new band uniforms and sponsored the Family Frolic, a community fund-raiser featuring booths, games and a dance. Athletic teams flourished with championship football and basketball teams. The forbidden social clubs--"secret" fraternities and sororities--were finally sanctioned by the school administration, although they were not encouraged.
The student and community concerns of the 1940's were, with few exceptions, identical to those of the 1930's. More social clubs and extracurricular activities were established. The Wireless Club became the public school radio station, WIAN. Students became actively involved in the war effort, rolling bandages and preparing surgical dressings, raising money for medical installations, and selling enough war bonds to purchase a pursuit plane and two B-17 Flying Fortresses. The band had the privilege of performing at the launching of the USS Indiana. The 1940's also saw the acquisition and loss of two principals. Dr. J. Dan Hull, hired in 1942, resigned and accepted a post with the Department of Education after only five years as principal. His replacement, Joel Hadley, was a Shortridge alumnus who quickly became one of its most popular principals. When segregation was legally ended in 1949, his leadership was tested.
Suburban flight became a major problem for Shortridge in the 1950's. Competition with newer schools aggravated the situation. Because of its many merits, students, faculty, and parents took great pride in their associations with Shortridge. This was interpreted as arrogance by other schools and the communities that they served. The Shortridge PTA and the administration responded by launching an extensive public relations campaign. They attempted to prove that the school deserved the respect they gave it. Shortridge was rated as one of the country's top high schools by a researcher in Chicago in 1957. Articles in national magazines and journals followed. Shortridge also sponsored the first American Field Study exchanges in Indianapolis high schools-- a program that continued until the school was closed.
In spite of all the positive publicity, Shortridge's problems grew worse in the 1960's. More and more good students were going to other schools. The Echo began to lose money at the rate of ten dollars a day because of the loss of student interest and support. When Robert Schultz, a Shortridge alumnus, took over for the retired Hadley, he discovered that freshman reading scores were below average. He immediately set up a tutoring program. At the suggestion of community leader Roselyn Richardson, wife of lawyer Henry J. Richardson business leaders were brought in to inform students of the value of a high school diploma in the job market. "Career Days" and a "Job Fair" were established. The number of triple "F" report cards fell by 50 percent.
During the 1960's the school's future was in serious jeopardy. The school board's response to declining enrollment was to make Shortridge Indianapolis' "academic high school," requiring entrance examinations for incoming freshmen. This decision aggravated the school's poor community relations. Racial tensions erupted over the continued use of an ancient history textbook that suggested that "Negro and Mongol peoples" had not contributed anything to the "rise of civilization." Somehow, Shortridge still managed some successes, including 80 National Merit Finalists in seven years.
A great deal of student and faculty energy was spent on defending the school in the 1970's. Beginning with its reinstatement as a standard, comprehensive high school in 1970, its existence was constantly in question. Security and truancy became problems. The Echo became a weekly, not a daily newspaper. Questions arose about the so-called "racial balance" of the school. At one point the ratio was as high as 89 percent black students. Because of the uncertainty of its future, both the enrollment and the condition of the building continued to decline throughout the 1970's. The continued growth of the suburbs had brought about the growth and improvement of suburban schools. The problems of urban education and disuse were too great to overcome. After several attempts by parents, alumni, and students to "save Shortridge," the school was closed in 1981.
Students who went on to develop distinguished careers outside of Shortridge included historian and feminist scholar Mary Ritter Beard, Senator Richard Lugar, Egyptologist George Reisner, civil rights activist and lawyer Henry J. Richardson, novelist Kurt Vonnegut, journalist Claude Bowers and Admiral Raymond A. Spruance.

The Shortridge High School Collection has been divided into 8 sections: the Echo office files, the Charity Dye Library files, the Parent-Teachers Association (PTA) files, the school's WWII General Educational Development Test (GED) requests, Student Senate records, Student Publication & Alumni Records added to the collection in 1993, architectural drawings, and visual materials. The contents within each subdivision are largely miscellaneous. The collection does not include many administrative records, sports memorabilia, or artifacts. The Echo and PTA files comprise the largest part of the collection.
Aside from the copies of the Echo, the Echo files consist mostly of faculty, administrative, and student records. They also include a large number of pamphlets, programs, and student lists from 1874 to 1970. Faculty records often provide extensive educational and personal profiles detailing the accomplishments of individual teachers, such as athletic coach Robert Nipper, natural science teacher Mildred Campbell, Latin teacher Minnie Lloyd, chemistry teacher Frank Wade, and Echo sponsor Jean Grubb. Photographs originally accompanying these documents are stored in Visual Collections.
The remainder of the Echo files contain information on miscellaneous alumni, students, and community relations. They include pamphlets which highlight the history and institutions of Shortridge. The file on desegregation in the 1940's and 1950's provides a view of the relationship between the school, the students, the faculty, and the community.
The collection also contains copies of the Echo from September, 1898-May 1981. These have been microfilmed by the Indiana Historical Society for preservation and are available in the Printed Collections under LH1 .I4647 E3.
The PTA files consist mostly of committee reports and minutes from 1959. These include detailed financial records of Family Frolic subcommittees, some of which are grouped separately with Family Frolic files. They illustrate the amount and kinds of activities undertaken by the PTA during the 1950's. The emphasis on entertainment and annual fund-raising corresponds to the changing interests and demands of the community after the Depression. The 1946 minutes (BV 2399) include the results of a survey called, "Pet Peeves about Parents." Reminiscent of sociological studies of the era, like Middletown, the survey reveals the nature of conflicts between adolescents and their parents. The PTA files include minutes from Alumni Association meetings as well (Box 9, Folder 8). There is also correspondence between members of the class of 1893 (Box 9, Folder 9), which mention, among other things, their class reunion (a photograph of their reunion is with the visual material), and their contact with alumni like George Reisner, Mary Ritter Beard, and Blanche Grant, who wrote an historical novel about the life of a nineteenth century professional woman gambler.
The Charity Dye Library files (Boxes 6-8) are the most miscellaneous of the subdivisions of the collection. There are many special event programs (Boxes 6-7) and graduation announcements (Boxes 7-8). Of particular interest are the faculty and student clippings and obituaries, the 1933 English Department Reading List (Box 6, Folder 2-3), the Indianapolis Youth Survey, 1935 (Box 6, Folder 4), a broadside for a 1870 class program, and an extensive number of radio scripts, some by writer Werner Haas. The clippings provide an enormous amount of information about well-known faculty members. There are also copies of a series of articles written by an alumnus, Norris Houghton, while he was conducting research on the Russian theatre in the Soviet Union in the 1930's.
The English Department Reading List reveals the quality and diversity of education at Shortridge. Works by Ibsen, Chekhov, and Woolf were recommended as well as authors like Stephen Crane, Emily Dickenson, and Edgar Allen Poe.
There is also a folder on the James Whitcomb Riley family. The connection between Riley and Shortridge--begun when Charity Dye was a teacher there--continued into the mid-twentieth century. A nephew, Samuel Riley, began corresponding with the principal, sending him copies of Riley's unpublished poems.
The Student Senate records (Box 14, BV 2388-2395) are comprised exclusively of minutes from meetings. They reflect the timeliness of issues debated from 1900 to 1963 including the debates on women's suffrage (BV 2389, p. 252 and following), mandatory military training, and immigration laws (BV 2391). The rest of the Shortridge Collection consists of miscellaneous student and alumni files and lists, especially from WWII GED requests. The requests consist primarily of the academic records of students who interrupted their high school education to participate in the war. They also include correspondence kept by the principal's office between administrators, military personnel, and former students requesting diplomas.
The Shortridge High School Annuals, 1894-1980 have been catalogued separately. They are located in Printed Collections under LD7501 .I4647 A5.
Materials incorporated into the collection in 1993 include early student records 1871-1881, promotion and examination ledgers, 1868-1899, and scrapbooks and files for student organizations such as Quill and Scroll and the Kiwanis Key Club 1952-1971. There are also additional student publications such as The Junior, The Dawn, and The Comet, 1893-1898. There are also materials regarding Shortridge students in WWII and general historical data.
Architectural material in the collection includes blue prints and other materials relative to the 1964 alterations and renovation of Shortridge High School, 3401 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis.
Visual materials in the collection include images from the Echo office files, Sports photographs, materials from the Annual and miscellaneous student and faculty photographs.
