F acuity Officer HE Philologian Literary Society was organized by Mr. Ayer at Madison- ville High School in 1912. When it was first organized there were four- teen members and all of them were in some way connected with athletics. During the eight years that this society remained at Madisonville there was only one student in the school who was on any team who did not belong to this society. V The purpose of this society is to promote friendship and to prepare its members for public speaking and debating. It has always been the custom of the society to have four installation sessions at which everybody was welcome. It has always had an oratorical contest and the winners were given prizes by the business men of Madisonville. Nearly every year it has given a banquet. Since it has come to East High it has not done much for the welfare of the school. It has not as yet become very well known, though all the members still hope and are endeavoring to make it as much of a success at East High School as it was at Madisonville High School.

Treasurer HE East High School Radio Club was organized by Mr. Howe to promote the interest and knowledge of radio among the pupils of the school. Any pupil of East High School is eligible as a member of the club. The membership consists of two classes, associate and operative. Any one joining the club does so as an associate member, and remains so until he proves himself able to send and receive ten words' per minute, continental code. He then is privileged to use the school set. This is a great opportunity to the stu- dent body as the fine sending set develops one kilowatt of power and has a range of three hundred to six hundred miles and the receiving set can operate over all parts of the country. The regular meetings of the club are on alternate Wednesdays of the school year. After a short business session, Mr. Howe gives a talk on the theory of wireless and also on the radio laws. On every Monday and Wednesday afternoon there are classes in code for members in all stages of progress. On March 4, President Harding's inaugural address was received by Elmer Davis, '22, and read before the school shortly after its delivery in Washington. On April 22 CParents' Dayj,radio concerts were received and heard by many in Room 217. The set was also demonstrated to the visitors by a representative of the club. Next year if things go well a member of the club will be appointed to have charge of the set at regular intervals. Also, if enough members qualify to operate the set, the club will join the American Radio Relay League. V . WILLIAM VOGEL, '22. I1231
