With Brother Anselm's return to De La Salle, our radio amateurs have banded together and spent the past year in experimentation both in the school radio room and at home. The club has weekly meetings at which demonstrations on different phases of the complex subject of radio are given. At the close of each meeting each member is allowed to borrow from the club's equipment whatever he needs to build at home the instru- ment with which the demonstration was concerned. Due to the lack of space, the club was restricted to the upperclassmen at the beginning of the year, but as things got under way the sophmores and all those interested were invited to join the club. Under the supervision of Brother Peter and Brother Anselm, five stal- wart members of the club, namely Wertz, Matera, O'Hare, Paul, and Bissell, put up the intercommunication system in the school.

Editor, JOSEPH BISSELL Associate Editor, LESLIE VAN MARTER Feature Editor, JOHN DOOLAN stag Typist, JOHN DALY This year the RECORD,' was edited under the able direction of joseph Bissell. The efforts of Editor Bissell were most ably sustained by Leslie Van Marter as associate editor. With such management the several editions of the Record for the '47-'48 scholastic year were produced. The editing and producing of a paper has its many trying details and challenges. How- ever, with a dependable staff, the difficulties were reduced to a minimum. The tradition of a school paper here at De La Salle can be traced back to the late sixties. Occasionally there have been lapses in production. However, the RECORD offers an excellent medium for those who have journalistic interest to be invested. Too, it offers an excellent medium for the circulation of school thought, interest and spirit. To produce the paper requires no small effort. The editors and staff are to be commended for their efforts and sacrifices in seeing to it that De La Salle is so well represented in the field of scholastic journalism.

This year the camera fans at De La Salle united under the guidance of Brother 'Peter and through a series of demonstrations and lectures by their moderator, increased their knowledge in the tricks of photography. A dark- room Was fixed up and opened for the use of all the members of the club. It was in use quite often for either private work or for work for the school paper. A demonstration was planned for the parents, but was cancelled because of lack of material. The club meetings were held on a classroom style, and Brother Peter explained and demonstrated different processes and techniques of photog- raphy. Mimeographed sheets were given out, summing up the important points of the demonstration, effecting a course in photography for each member of the club.
