Tobe SN Ats tet RADIO CLUB Ronald Rand oF} Howard Reeves, Gale Tyler, Herbert Johnson RADIO CLUB The first project of the Radio Club this year was the formation and adoption of a constitution by which it is hoped the Club may be made a permanent organization. During the yeer each member has given a prepared lecture on some phase of electricity or radio. These reports have been very instructive, and much benefit has been derived from them. Several members have constructed either short-wave or broadcast-band sets for their own use, and some heve learned the continental code. A library of radio publications was established early in the season, and under the management of Kendal McRae has proved its worth. . At one of the meetings a radio set was put in operation by the members, but reception was very poor, due to the interference from the mechanism controling the school clocks. The greatest project of the club was a trip to the Worcester stations, W.T.A.G. and W.O.R.C. on the eve of our last vacation. Twenty members accompanied by Mrs. Marlowe, faculty advisor, made the trip. At Worcester they were shown through the studios of both stations and allowed to go through the control room of W.O.R.C. where the operator explained the various apparatus in detail. After going over the stations, the entire club enjoyed a talking picture on Africa. x ?
