FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Sponsor of Freshman Quarter ....Thomas A. Lyons, Vice-President of W.H.S. Announcer Phyllis MacDonald, Class Treasurer Quizmaster Ruth Mitchell Phyllis MacDonald: Ladies and gentlemen, your dial is now turned to station W. H. S. It is exactly 1937 by the clock on the studio wall, and that means it ' s time for a feature presentation of the Freshman Broadcasting System. What is it? That ' s right, you ' re right! It ' s that quiz program ou have all been wait- ing for, presented by Mr. Thomas A. Lyons, vice-president of W. H. S. The questions will be asked by our old quizmaster, Ruth Mitchell. The contestant will be chosen from the studio audience. It is now my pleasure to present Ruth Mitchell. Ruth Mitchell: Thank you; and now, on with the programme. All those contest- ants who answer correctly will be rewarded with a, beautiful gold-trimmed diploma from W. H. S. Our first contestant is Don Drake. Don , your question is: What is the first thing you remember about W. H. S. in 1 937- ' Don Drake: The first thing I remember about ' 37 is the football team. They had a good season coming out with the South Shore Championship. Ruth Mitchell: Very good, Don . You couldn ' t be more correct. The next con- testant is Eleanor Hopf. El , can you name the important event that occurred during the football season? Eleanor Hopf : I think that would be the Freshman Senior Party. Russ Clapp and his orchestra furnished the music, and everyone had a good time. Ruth Mitchell: That ' s right, El . You ' ll receive your certificate if you will call at W. H. S. about June 19, 1941. Our next contestant will be John Delorey. John, your question has to do with the third term. What were the important events during January and February of ' 38? John Delory: That ' s a tough one, Ruth, but I can remember a little about it. The students gave a very successful dance on the 14th of January, and on Feb- ruary 16, the officials of station W. H. S. (the teachers) gave their annual play, Craig ' s Wife. Ruth Mitchell: Wonderful, John; you have a very good memory. And here we have Jim Fisher. Jim , what can you remember about the basketball team of ' 38? Jim Fisher: That ' s too easy ! W. H. S. was very successful in ' 38. They received an invitation to the Tech Tourney at M. I. T. Ruth Mitchell: That is fine, Jim . I think maybe I can find a diploma in the pile for you in June 1941. Well, here comes our next contestant, Vic Peter- son. What do you remember about ' 38, Pete ? Victor Peterson: Well, Ruth, I can remember the Operetta. It was presented on the 20th and 21st of May. I think Trial by Jury was the name. Ruth Mitchell: You ' ve guessed it Pete . Next is Doris O ' Connor. Doris can you name the last two important events in ' 38? Doris O ' Connor: I think the best answer to that would be the Senior Play, Spring Dance ; and the Senior Prom. Am I right? □ 22 n

There will be a short pause for station identification, and then we shall continue our programme through the facili- ties of the Sophomore Broadcasting System.
