U. S. Grant MEMOIRS Page 25 U.S. Grant Radio Club ' I ’HE RADIO CLUB, more familiarly known as the “Dial Twist-ers,” has the distinction of being the first club organized in the U. S. Grant High. At the first meeting, Mr. Horning was chosen faculty advisor. The present officers are: Nolan Holt, president; Le Roy Scott, vice-president; Gordon Grant, secretary; Reid Geer, treasurer ; Roger Chown, sergeant-at-arms. The constitution states that the membership shall not exceed forty, and that those wishing membership must submit their names to the secretary. The membership of the organization is now about twenty-five. On several occasions, powerful receiving sets have been installed, and distant stations received. On Open House night, November 21, 1924, an exhibit of nearly a dozen receiving sets was given in the radio room. A super-neutrodyne was installed, and a large number of visitors were entertained with music broadcasted from Radio K. L. X., The Tribune, Oakland, California. The ambition of the “Dial Twisters” is to assist those who wish to build receiving sets; to prepare members for amateur licenses; and to purchase a transmitting set for the benefit of local listeners. —Cecil Samuel, Secretary.

Page 26 MEMOIRS U.8. Grant Trekkers ANY GIRLS have pleasant memories of hikes that they have -1- taken at one time or another. Therefore, when a hiking club of Grant High School was suggested, the girls needed no urging to put the suggestion into a reality. So quickly did they respond that they were soon able to hold regular business meetings. At one of the first meetings, with Miss Houck as their faculty advisor, the very important matter of electing officers was taken up. The results of the election was as follows: Gladys Magnuson, presi- dent: and Margaret Crawford, Dorothy Turney and Gladys Thorn-men. assistant guides. The question of colors was also taken into consideration. The colors finally selected were rustic brown and olive green, a harmonious combination, suggestive of forest shades. The name of the club was another matter of much discussion. “Trek-ker,” the winning name, is an African name for guides or trailfinders. The purpose of the club is to obtain recreation through healthful outdoor exercise. The club began carrying out this purpose by taking a trial ten-mile hike on Saturday, November the eighth. Many other hikes are being planned. Several of the energetic members have voiced their desire for a twenty-mile hike. Dorothy Turney.
