HTERHRY THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN HOGIE LL was quiet in the boys, lunchroom when suddenly there A was a shriek followed by a thud. It was Angelo Lista. When Lista was revived he was asked what was wrong. Lista gasped and said, t'My hogie, the twentieth one, itts been stolen. After school Lista went to the Genzano Detective Agency. After a long talk they went down to the lunchroom together. They walked around and started to look for Clues. Johnny Gen- zano stooped over and picked up two articles and put them in an envelope. nWhat are they? inquired Lista. Genzano stood silent for a moment, then said, Nothing, but I assure you the guilty party will be found by tomorrow. Next day when the bell rang at the beginning of the fourth lunch, Genzano disguised himself as a pretzel and ran down to the girls, lunchroom. When the lunchroom was fllled he bought a bowl of soup and started to walk around. He looked at all the girls with blond hair. At last he stopped at Yolanda Appachelli and said, Come along, young lady, Ilm taking you to the office. B-but why? stammered Yolanda as her face grew red. ttFor the theft of twentythogies, answered Johnny. All right, cried Yolanda; but what are you going to do about it? When he heard who the thief was Angelo was mortified; im- mediately he hunted Johnny. When he found him he asked, nHow did you find her? nThose two articles I put in the envelope were blond hairs and a chipped piece of congo nail polish. Naturally I knew it was a girl. Yolanda has blond hair and Chipped congo nail polish. But how did she get in the boys lunchroom? Every day she would get dressed as a lady who works in the kitchen and when Lista was buying milk she would pretend to be taking dishes off of the table and steal the hogie. Later Yo- landa was sentenced to one year in Vare prison. Now every day when Lista sees Johnny he waves his hand and says, Allah be praised. MICKEY Es POSITO, 9B2. Ehyiiat 6

BROADCASTING STATION ONDAY, January 19, I visited the radio station WPEN. After waiting a few minutes at the reception desk, a gentle- man came up to me and introduced himself. He was Mr. Harry Schlegel. These are four studios, A, B, C and D. Of the four, D is the largest. I was allowed to attend two musical pro-i grams and one news broadcast. On a board near the microphone were two lights, one red and one green. When the red light Hashes, it shows that you are on the air. The green light, when put on, signals the control room. In the control room there are compasses on a large board, somewhat like a switchboard. The compasses tell when the broadcasts are going on regularly. There are 18 01' 19 news broadcasts a day. When you hear that a program is transcribed, it means it is played from a record. Nine out of ten programs where applause is heard have. actual applause, but sometimes records are played for this purpose. Quiz programs are never rehearsed before they go on the air. 1 hope that you will understand the programs better now that you have this information about the radio. FAY DE PALMA, 8B1. Vk . RADIO OWN through the past few decades radio has brought joy, and you might say peace, into the hearts of all Americans. Radio is not only a joy but it is also a necessity. A ship that is sinking, through the radio, may S O S for aid and in that way save the lives of many human beings. An airplane that is lost in the fog, through the use of radio beams may be brought to safety. Radio keeps us in touch with the world we cannot see. This great American recreation has been glorified in motion pic- tures C'The Great American Broadcastlll, plays and books C'The 'Story of Radio, Radio Around the World, and Radio for Everyboclynl. I'm sure as long as there is an America there will he a radio and as long as there is a radio there will be a joy-loving , America. MATTHEW GOODBODY, 9B1-. 5 935a 9M

THE CELLULOID DOLL Q. S I WAS wandering through the five and ten cent store without a worry in my head texcept those English notesl I happened to notice a sale of goods toops, pardon me, trashy made in Japan going on. I felt in my pocket for a nickel and thought my brother, John, would like to have a rattle or a doll. I went over to the counter, and picked out a doll which I thought he would like. Arriving home I gave it to my brother. Suddenly, he scowled, raised his foot, and crushed the doll. at was made of celluloidJ Amidst all the wreckage stood, unhurt, a piece of tube about two inches long and about one-half inch in diameter. 1 did not know what to do at first, but my father, who had watched the scene, picked up the pieces and chanced to see something written in code. Not knowing what to do he decided to go the F. B. I. When we arrived, I told the man in charge all thathad happened. When I had finished, he called one of his aides and together they tried to figure out the message, but gave up. Then they sent it to Washington. The answer came back, saying tand I quotel: Will declare war on the United States December 7. Get prints assembled. Will get the dolls on Pier 3. Small boat, big American flag, with small one. Through the stock markets we found this shipment was supposed to have gone to Yapmonaca Monecoy, a lap whom the F. B. I. had under suspicion. Yapmonaca did not know this, so that when war broke out and the G-men arrested him, he was caught off guard. This shipment of dolls was supposed to arrive on De- cember 7, but since he was arrested, Leeges Five and Ten Cent Store got them. We searched his house and could not find any- thing, but then we remembered Pier 3, and hurried along there. We found a firm which makes vases. Nine out of ten of their shipments went to Japan. It was backed by Yapmonaca's money. As we were going through the place, one of our men knocked over a vase and found that it had hollow walls. After breaking the vases we found parts of blueprints for the Garaud rifle, and after being Charged with this Yapmonaca committed hari-kari. PETER PATANE, 9B7. 7 515a 9W
