O N A H SIDE SHOW In room 510, we will show, Wonders of our radio. The purchase of it first began With a salesman ' s talk. In the morning there will be, Exercises, 1 2 3 Then a woman who can cook Tells how dainty foods can look. Tony ' s Scrap Book starts the day In a bright and cheery way. Then there ' ll be a song or two A few are old, some are new. At noon an orchestra will play For those who dance their blues away. After that another theme The value of 4 purpose cream. If advertising is a bore. Tune in on a football score. One team must to victory yield Pretend you too are on that field. The children ' s voices soon begin. Some sound like bells, some like tin. Then there is the twilight hour. And with it comes a magic power To relax, the day is done. But radio programs have just begun. H. R. D. ' 33 HISTORY BY NAMES Proud but shy, fifty-two venturesome shipmates arrived September I6th, 1930 to build our ship of service in which to sail to our castles of Spain. After a few days of turmoil and excitement, plans progressed and construction began. The Fomnaii ' s duties were not all Bliss, but caused many Aiken days. Among our shipmates was a Fisher man, a Miller, a Stewart, and a Taylor, who left their trades to join our House- knecht. Although some of our time was spent with Tlwwp ' s son, Williaw ' s son, Steven ' s son and Dave ' s son, shipbuilding was not impaired. Some grew weary and drifted down a different Laine but soon the sails were hoisted and the crew felt Lepras of their attainment. On January 20th, 1931, our captain exclaimed, Ship Ahoy, and our voyage began with soMcCloudes in sight. Shouts of jov iroMassoll started the Jones ' mascot, a Beyerchen, asking IVatk n be the matter? The Kern ' t at times Cameyed us to greater depths but was also Sloan ' b ' storms. Still we drifted on. Our minds grew in UkeNes-h t by bit and as we looked back over the Pearly ocean our progress seemed real. Our faithful Scots, AicGree or and McPhear- son smeared with Hein i ' ich catsup. With strains of Carrv me Back to old V re ma and tales from Dickens inspiring us, we plodded upward to the S e. Before we had realized it, the Junior Island was in sight and Utility would soon begin. The Oforsaid crew hope to hear the captain command, Your voyage is completed, so Bringham ashore. LK- cS, ' 33.
