. . . Calling all radio listeners!! The senior class of '4l now takes orer the air-lanes, coming to you over a clear channel. As to some persons radio terminology means little, let your radio commentator explain that a clear channel broadcast removes all other stations from the ether, so that one program alone is transmitted to the receiver and amplified to reach the hearers' ears. The senior class has grown in four short years from a small and insig- nificant station to one of 50,000 watts, a station of disitnction from which foreign reception and static have been eliminated. The principal guiding light, Mr. B. W. Shaper, control-room chief, and the four class officers, who are the power backers, have helped the seniors attain this superior rating. Under the careful guidance of the studio technicians, the faculty, this senior class is leaving a definite impression on the school by a spirit of activity and accomplishment outstanding in the annals of radio broad- casting, The senior class is fortunate to include in its broadcasting staff three prominent Student Body officers, Girls' Student League officers, and members of the yearbook staff. These senior leaders are pictured on the opposite page. The Student Body officers, as the station engineers, have worked diligently together in order to give the entire studio personnel unique assemblies, enjoyable and successful dances, and to promote many other outstanding student activities. Through the efforts of the Girls' Student League officers, the league has become more active than in the past. Enthusi- asm in this girls' organization has been exhibited in its two outstanding social events. The girls' Hi-Jinks, presented each year by the girls and the women faculty members, is an occasion to which all look forward. The April Showers dance, the first dance ever presented by this organi- zation, was a notable success and may also be now considered an annual affair. The issues and problems of the senior class have been met with good judgment under the leadership of the pro- duction staff. Committees. appointed by the president for the selection of the senior announce- ments and the arranging of details concerning commencement exercises, have functioned dili- gently and well. The Caduceus staff, the script writers, is composed largely of seniors. This staff has worked for many months to produce a book striking in its originality and yet repre- sentative of every phase of school life. The class of '41 for its senior production staged a three-act play entitled What a Life! This play, dealing with the trials and tribulations of a high school boy, Henry Aldrich, was presented in the College Auditorium April 4, 1941. It was acclaimed one of the best produc- tions in the history of the dramatics department of the high school and outstanding for its finan- cial success. The entire cast, stage crew, and usherettes were selected from the senior class. As a part of their senior gift, the class set aside fifty dollars as a nucleus for a senior play fund, to be used, replaced, and added to by each succeeding class. The generous returns from the senior play made possible the further appropriate gift presented at the Commencement exercises. Panther Prowl day, another annual affair in which each class is represented, is set aside as a sport day. Each class is given a chance to compete for a trophy cup which is given to the win- ning class. The event, this year, was largely supervised by members of the senior class. The Senior Tea, given by the Girls' Student League in honor of the graduating girls and their mothers, was held on June 7, at the home of Mrs. D. W. Bidwell. Baccalaureate services were held at Trinity Methodist Church the Sunday before Commencement. The speaker for the service was Reverend G. G. Berger, of the Methodist Church. The graduation program was planned and presented largely by the students themselves, with Dorothy Dixon and Don Phillips as student speakers. . ln March four members of the graduating class left for the encampment at San Luis Obispo, when Company G of the National Guards was called for a year of military training. The four guards were Gordon Foster. Delmar Griffin, Bob McDaniel, and Don Ray. The highlights of the 50,000 Watt-ers' program have been the senior play. selection of the senior gift, Senior Cut Day, Senior Tea, Baccalaureate services and Commencement exercises. As a grand finale the Senior Farewell was held on June l3. Take it away, Seniors.
