Under the excellent leadership of Miss Boyle and the other music teachers, who help in sectional practices, the students have played concerts that have amazed even the professional artists who came to perform with them. Just as radio personalities spend hours in tedious practice to achieve their clear tones, so also do these students in their radio speech class. There, with microphone and tape recorder at their disposal, they record their voices, listen, and then correct their errors. Who knows—per- haps a big network announcer is in the making?
