McDevitt THE YEARBOQK Immediately after the opening of the second semester the staff started its work on the 1942 yearbook. After several discussions the theme was decided upon and sections of the book were organized. Sales of various kinds were sponsored for the purpose of making money in order to have a better book, yet charging the students the usual price. The sales campaign headed by Vivian Pratto and Charles Schick was very successful. The staff and all other journalists took part in an assembly giving the students a brief pre- view of what was to appear in the book. The faculty sponsors, Miss Mabel Hunt, Miss Florence Wolfe, Miss Helen Anne Wright and Mrs. Esther Richardson, together with the staff worked hard to give the students a truly good book.

vmmvwmw-W--wwmw-H 'ms v'ni-1-4.-it-f Samples. Lyons, joutras, Lewis, Mathias. 17TH PERIOD Something new has been added! Yes, stu- dents, this past year saw the development of an all-student radio program written and pro- duced by Dick Joutras, Marty Lewis, and Bev- erly Matthias. Ir gained popularity by leaps and bounds until now students are eager to come up to the studio and appear on Marty's quiz, to hear their name over Bev's gossip, or to hear their name announced by Dick -Ioutras as a winner of one of the free records. When this broadcast first began, it had no sponsor and had no stu-dent musicians or comedi- ans. Very soon, though, musical organizations such as: the Melody Maidsf' The Four Tones, The Madrigals, and the JT and J-IC swing bands appeared. The latest musical hits were sung by such students as Virginia Lowery, Bill Peter- son, Duane Heap, Vernon Lubs, and Mary Virginia McHugh. For several months two comedians were brought to the program in the person of Bette Lyons and Dave Samples. Several times at intervals, tables were turned on the teachers, and they were interviewed. Durward Killinger, Tom McHugh, Dick Lowery, and Annette Burr acted as the interviewers. A clever idea introduced quite early in the history of the program was the Key Question. Each of the first two persons to call in and answer this question correctly was sent to tickets to the Mode Theater. Good fortune was ever present for this show. On the first of April the 17th Periodi' obtained a sponsor in the person of A. C. Johnston Home and Auto Supply Company Record Department, located at Z7 W. Van Buren Street. Then three Key Questions were introduced with a free record being given to the first person to call in and answer one of the questions right. Mode Theater tickets were still given away, but were then given to the winners of Marty's quiz. During the middle of April WCLS moved its studios to Walnut Street and the 17th Period continued its broadcast from this new location. One of the leading radio magazines of the country wrote to WCLS asking them for a history of the l7th Periodf' So you see, it really was a popular program and one of the students' favorites.
