In the following semester, after weeks of condensing, six new names were entered. They were Howard Anton, Jerome Batalsky, William Briggs, Richard Chadwick, Don McGhee, and Frank Pear¬ son. Under the sponsorship of the popular Dr. Wolf officers were elected during both the fall term and the spring term. Bob Roach and Richard Chadwick became acting presidents while Tony Bral¬ czyk held the vice-president ' s position during both terms. The secretary ' s job went to Gene Walend¬ ziewicz and Frank Pearson. To the members of the N. H. S. we tip our hats for they will be the leading citizens in their communities as they were here in Girard.

G. C. theme song, the student radio program was brought to the High School each week. Broadcasting from the backstage of the high school audi¬ torium from 8:30 to 9:45 AM. on Monday mornings, W. G. C. gave all the up-to-date sports and campus news. Here the Hero of the Week was crowned for his glorious deed performed in the service of his fellow hummers, and the Student Center offered its specials to its patrons. The news, always the latest, the records the newest, and the jokes the oldest. The weekly broadcast was looked forward to by all. W. G. C. could not have been the success it was without its hard working staff of writers and announcers. At the head of the writing staff was Tom McCabe, along with Pelagatti, York, Smeader, McGhee, Holzinger, Bertino, Smyth, Zimring, Miller, Newton, Schoffstall, Walendziewicz, Batalsky, Sheitelman, and Malumphy. The announcing staff was headed by Bob Roach, with Melvin, Havira, Darling, Pearson, Flanagan, Taylor, Anton, and Stalford assisting. The Class of ' 56 is extremely proud of W. G. C. and its accomplishments. We feel that this was the most successful year the program has had since its organization. Our appreciation goes es¬ pecially to Mr. Henry V. Andrews, the faculty sponsor, and to the W. G. C. staff for the fine job that they did.
