Jamboree Thursday evening, February 6th, Central held its sixth annual Jamboree.

Following the events pictured here came the drawing for door prizes donated by Flint merchants. The grand prize of an Elgin wristwatch was won by Bryce Thomp- son. The remainder of the evening was spent swinging and swaying to the gay rhythm of the “juke box.” The men teachers playod a pojo game that had the audience practically ‘ rolling in the aislos.

Students Manage Radio Station Twenty fortunate Central students, selected be- cause of outstanding: ability shown in their public speaking classes, were treated to a rare privilege February 1, for during a period of twleve hours they were given virtually complete control of the Flint radio station, WFDF. From 6 :00 a.m. until 6 :00 p.m. the students carried on the activity of the station under the direction of Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown, their instructor, with no more assistance from the regular personnel than was absolutely necessary. In preparation for this unusual experiment, a tour of the station was made by the students at which time each was given an opportunity to thor- oughly acquaint himself with the various tasks and duties involved in his position. The separate groups assigned to the different types of work necessary to the daily broadcasting schedule of the station were station managers, Bud Fishier, Dick Coleman ; pro- gram directors, Marilyn Rundles, Barbara Ferris and Irene Sutton; technical staff, Ken Mattrass, Tom Church, and Bill Ware; advertising, Betty Doyle, Don Lamb and Virginia Roy; reporters, T. J. Moore and Ted Both; receptionists, Georgianna Dyer, Betty Babcock and Vera Cook; announcers, Dick Bryant, Wayne McFarlan, Elliott Henry and Helen Van Nocker. The experiment was mutually enjoyed by the station officials, whose kindness made the project possible, and the students, who were able to fur- ther their training in this interesting manner.
