HISTORY OF RLDIO LT CENTRAL T Central holds the unique distinction of being the first school in the United States, and as far as we know, in the world to have a complete school address system which makes it possible to have announcements made in all rooms simultaneously. This system grew from a plan to increase home room banking percentages by having a stentorian-voiced announcer CEddie Ruzzol broadcast the results from the front hall by using a megaphone. It was suggested that a simple hook-up might be installed at a comparative low cost to make this appear more of a reality. Z , Mr. Burke of the Van-Bur Radio Company was consulted and before long an improvised set enabled our principal to make announcements to the various rooms providing the teacher opened the door to her room so that the two or three speakers on each floor could be heard. This was in l926. In the spring of l927, speakers were provided for each home room, and the unsatisfactory battery current was supplanted with a power unit. A hook-up was then installed which made possible radio programs. Later, under the super- vision of Mr. Burke, the entire system was placed in a single cabinet with the necessary controls on one switchboard. New it is possible for Mr. Orcutt to make announcements to the entire school or to each building separately. By means of switches programs can be placed in certain rooms without bothcrine other rooms. Central has received a great deal of publicity regard- . ing our broadcasting system. Immediately after the first installation of the set periodicah ranging from The New York Times to the village newspaper carried pictures of Mr. Orcutt making announcements and stories of the use we were making of the radio. In some newspapers, a picture of a room listening-in also was printed. In recognition of the pioneering the school has done in this line, Dr. Clifton, State Director of Education, has appointed Mr. Orcutt as a member of the State Ldvisary Committee of the School of the Air.
