vox POPULI WVSH, The Voice of the Schools of Hunting- ton, first went on the air on January 1, 1950, and has continued broadcasting regularly since then. One of eight such stations in the state at present, WVSH was at the time of its first broadcast the second pub- lic school station in Indiana. A large part of the equipment has been given to the station by graduating classes of Huntington High School — the 10 watt transmitter was given by the class of 1950, the auditorium sound system by the class of 1952, and the console by the class of 1954. The primary purpose of WVSH is to provide radio material as an aid in classroom instruction. Broadcasting all major sports events of the high school both at home and away, providing city elec- tion returns, and reporting on all fund campaigns are some of the ways the station serves the community. WVSH operates approximately twenty-five hours a week — four hours on school days plus special event broadcasts. The Saturday morning record request program It ' s All Yours is a special feature on the station. The radio workshop classes help students develop a more discriminating taste for radio and television programs as well as provide an opportunity for train- ing for those who wish to continue in the field of ra- dio later on. An FM station with a 10 watt transmitter, WVSH is located at 91.9 megacycles on the radio dial. jt ' m Center left: Maurice Imhoff, Sponsor.

KNOW-HOW FOR OUR BENEFIT One of the busiest, most efficient, and certainly one of the most important divisions of education at H. H. S. is the Audio-Visual Center. Students serve as period supervisors to see that films are shown as scheduled. In addition to time given during school hours, many of these supervisors perform helpful services after school hours. Skills are developed in the operation of motion picture, filmstrip and slide projectors, tape record- ers, phonograph players, sound systems, and stage equipment. With the extensive stage facilities, the services of several boys are required for each stage production. They handle curtains, lights, and sound for religious services, auditorium programs, special productions such as the Revue and Junior Varieties, and many outside activities that use the auditorium. The handling of the sound system at Kriegbaum Field and the Community Gym is also part of the audio-visual service to the school. Awards are made on the basis of years of service. This year Everett Walters received the only gold pin, for four years service to the Center. Other sen- iors, receiving silver pins for three years service were Donald Nail, Larry Blackford, and Bill Coates. Ma- jor letter awards, for at least two years service at the end of the junior year, went to Fred Teddy, Paul Chambers, and Mike Hahnert. A minor letter was awarded Kenneth DeVoll for one year service. Center right: M.

THESE STAND OUT The Rotary Club of Huntington selects a student from Huntington High, Huntington Catholic and Huntington College to attend its luncheon held Tuesday noon of each week. The object of Rotary is to stress the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular to foster and encourage the follow- ing: 1. High ethical standards in business and professions — recognizing the worthiness of all useful occupations and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society. Row I: Paul Stewart, Peter Strodel, Kent Owen, Gene Hensel, and Bill Coates. Row II: Hoyt Brown, Jerry Dolby, Jack Flaugher, and John Wygant. 2. The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life. 3. The advancement of international good- will through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service. The Junior Rotarians for the month of March were sent to Cincinnati to attend a symposium on world affairs. Students from Huntington High School who were Junior Rotarians for the school year 1955- 56 are: September, Paul Stewart; October, Kent Owen; November, John Wygant; December, Jerry Dolby; January, Hoyt Brown; February, Jack Flaugher; March, Peter Strodel; April, Bill Coates; and May, Gene Hensel. Row I: Neil Stonebraker, David Ar- lington, Harold Campbell, Arthur Stonebraker. Row II: Jack Flaugher, Robert Lohr, Stephen Olinger. Row III: David Casper, David Gerdes, Tom Wilbur. Competent Assistants Just as the head supervisor in a factory has foremen to supervise the workers, Mr. Burke, our shop instructor, uses capable assistants to help run the woodshop. For the purpose of helping to supervise the students, then, Mr. Burke appoints an experi- enced boy to act as foreman of the woodshop each month. Evidence of the skill and patient workman- ship is shown in the annual display of end- tables, desks, beds, etc., all made by these stu- dents. Each month the appointed foreman is given the title Foreman of the Month at a dirmer given by the Huntington Foremen ' s Club. The foremen this year were: Steve Olinger; Art Stonebraker, Robert Lohr, David Casper, Jack Flaugher, Neil Stonebraker, David Ger- des, Harold Campbell, and Kent Knight. 28
