FOREWORD May I take this opportunity to wish each student of the Los Angeles High School a long, happy and prosperous life. In the expeditions in which it has been my pleasure to participate, the radio has been of great importance and tremendous value. In the Antarctic, there are no telegraph lines, no ship or train or air mail, no telephone sys- tem. There, in the field of communication, radio is supreme. By taking full advantage of it, we gave safety insurance to the field parties that warrant- ed my letting them go farther afield than I should have considered other- wise. One day in the spring at the height of our activities. I was able to super- vice (though I rarely exercised this supervision) six units doing field work, an airplane in flight mapping distant mountains, my two ships, the Bear and the Ruppert to the northward, and my office in New York City. Twice while exploring from the air in the William Horlick, I received a query from a trail party and radioed back instruction. The story of our expedition was a tremendous problem with all of its technical hazards. A 10,000 mile radio telephone circuit, expensive ampifi- cation hook-ups at Buenos Aires. Long Island, and San Francisco, and Little America incapable of powering a transmitter of much better than peanut stand strength, compared to the power of average broadcasting stations, made our broadcasting most difficult. However, we hope that in spite of the static, the listeners-in all over America had a vision of our great undertaking and appreciated the human side of the problems as well as our scientific ideals. The radio is an asset not only to the sphere of science and explorations. but it is also a marvelous instrument on behalf of a better and more com- plete understanding among the nations of the world. If we in our expedition in the Antarctic could keep the world informed in regard to our discoveries and the many problems daily and hourly presented to us. certainly the radio may be used to exchange knowledge among the peoples of the world and knowledge makes for friendship and tolerance.

FAC U LTY Mto Olivers Message Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world daily listen in to local, national, and international radio broadcasts. Probably the majority of this vast audience is com- posed of young people. There is no other invention of science that has greater possibilities for influencing the life of our country. Instant information is given concerning weather and health conditions, emergency accidents both on land and on sea. and such general matters as politics, economics, and social progress- The radio has become an absolute necessity in the life of today. Among the greatest future possibilities that may come through radio is a sensible and sane knowledge and understanding of international problems among the peoples of the world. Is it not within reason I believe that the radio, including television, may be an Important (actor In helping the whole world to realize the value and importance of world friendship and the necessity tor the elimination of war? The Faculty and students of the school expect you. the graduates nt the Class of S ' 37. to demand the highest type of radio programs. We extend our best wishes for your success and happiness in the years that are to come. Very sincerely yours. V- LU W Vice=Priecipsil§ 9 M©§§ag©§ To the Class of Summer 1937, greetings: You leave us for larger fields, spread wide in this modern world of miracles. With- out doubt in your own lifetimes, will arise wonders beyond our most fantastic dreams. Yet material miracles can add nothing to the spiritual stature of mankind. Indeed, some of these achievements seem only to be impelling humanity toward destruction. We hope that yours may be the opportunity to help disperse the sinister shadow of materi- alism which threatens our civilization, by tuning in to those intangible broadcasting stations from which may come a spiritual enlightenment as yet undreamed. Your sincere friend. S Ol m4 a UjoJUajn£c vo . To the Summer Class of 1937, greetings: When radio is mentioned one usually thinks of music, entertainment, or sport. A far more significant feature of this amazing invention is its use as an element in safety. Think of the countless lives that have been saved on distressed ships at sea; visualize the airplane pilots who depend upon warnings and directions given by radio; consider the great national disasters of fire and flood where suffering has been relieved because of rapid communication. All scientific research should be conducted and utilized for the welfare of humanity. Likewise, the benefits of education, even of your high school education, should be directed toward the improvement of mankind. Service for others as well as personal advancement should be a part of your ideal of a life career. Sincerely yours. e CC ££L-_ ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT E. W. Oliver, principal R. C.

So rapidly has it become a power in modern life that it reminds us of Minerva. Roman .goddess of wis- dom, who sprang full grown from the head of Jupiter, clad in shining armor and singing of triumph. The song of triumph is not always uppermost in radio. We are too -close to its beginnings and development. But we feel a sense of wonder at the daily occurrence of instantaneous communication between widely separated com- munities, ciiies. and nations, the expression, and the outgrowth of a very old desire. Radio remains for us the eternal miracle While radio is daily making many worthwhile contributions to civilization, it is also exercising an Influence that can be of no benefit to us. As intelligent students, we must choose between the worst and the best of these programs that come to us over the air. Kven better than the mere choosing, we may visualize L. A. High as a great radio station with the obligation to broadcast through our characters and every- day accomplishments, deeds that in some way may help our fellow men And now as I sign off from three of the happiest years of my life. I wish to thank you for the wonderful spirit and cooperation that you have shown. Serving you dur- ing the past term has been an honor and a worth while pleasure. Sincerelv. L. B. HARBOUR, president of Student Body YOUTH — A new station is on the air! May your script be beautiful and the con- tact faultless. In signing off, I extend a personal good wish to everyone; and may you receive guidance always. Sincerely, BETTE LOU HOGG, president of Girls ' Division Radio is one of the greatest single influences in the development of education and religion today. Within a few years, I believe special programs of English, science, and languages will be broadcast in the class rooms for the students. Now in ending these three short years at Los Angeles High, I want to thank all of you for what you have done for me this past term. Sincerely, BILL MARSHALL, president of Boys ' Division To make a program a complete success, every one, whether playing a major or minor part, must co-operate freely. The success of our program this term was due largely to your co-operation, and I am deeply grateful to you for giving me the opportuni- ty to play a part. Sincerely, KI T HAMBLY, president of Girls ' Senior Board What is a more valuable contribution to the promotion of a common understanding among all peoples though they may differ in race, color, and creed than radio? We. the graduating and advancing students, should be comparable to the radio in our capacity as exponents of high ideals we have developed at Los Angeles High. Sincerely, ED JONES, president of Boys ' Senior Board President: Kathleen Humbly Vice-president : Mary Anne Hall THE GIRLS 9 SENIOR In 1917, the Girls ' and Boys ' Senior Boards were founded, each with twenty-five regular and twenty-five associate members. Before this time, there had been a student council consisting of members of the lower division as well as of the upper division. The purpose of the Boards is to further civic obedience in the school. The Girls ' Board with the aid of their understanding guide. Miss Wolverton, helps to enforce the rules of the Student Body, aids the students in becoming better citizens, and strives for ad- vancement of higher standards and ideals. For the girls who do not recognize the rules, every Tuesday after school the Board becomes a court which metes out justice impartially. In order to be eligible as a member of the Girls ' Senior Board, a girl must have recom- mended grades with the exception of one satis- factory grade which is allowed her; she must be approved by the Faculty, point chairman, and the Girls ' Board : then she must be elected by the girls in her class. In addition to Hie regular duties of working in i he principals ' and personnel offices, and noon. home room, and safety posts, there are social Dorothy rgaln itt i:. in, Bi Uingtley Signa Bi et etlov4 Dorothy l n Ruth Faulkner lir, b ' r, .

In the Board room, which has been redecorated this term by the girls, many friendships are made which will last long after high school days are over. In the hearts and minds of the Board girls is always carried their motto Noblesse Oblige, meaning the privilege to serve. Officers: president.

' • - ' 1 Preaidi nt ; Edwin Jotlt Vice-president: Frank Weil THE BOYS 9 SENIOR The purpose of the Boys ' Senior Board is to maintain law and order throughout the school. The basic principle of the Board is to prevent law breaking rather than simply to act as a punitive body. Persons accused of violating a school rule are summoned to appear before an impartial and fair jury, consisting of the Board members. The violators are dealt with accord- ing to the seriousness of their offense. Twenty-five boys comprize the regular Board. Ten of these boys are elected to the B Board, and remain members of the Board until graduation. The B Board members who have become A Boarders and five more elected from the A12 class, constitute the A Board. The officers of the Board are elected from the A Board. The president, who is the presiding officer, vice-president, secretary, and sergeant-at- arms, make up the governing body of the Board In addition to the regular Board members, there are twenty-five Associate members who assist the regular Board with its duties. These mem- bers do not wear the characteristic blue sweater and emblem which distinguish the regular Board. ■ all ( ' i ma well Jim II Jack I ' lrnit Jim A . . ft I ' rrrhi In i Dave Lap id us mil hi. id John 1 L. li Harbour Ted MOci ' onogtu Harry Hill BUI Marshall Secretary: Dick Winters Sergeant-at-arma: Bill Wilson BOARD OF CONTROL In addition to the noon-time posts, which are stationed about the yard to keep students on the school bounds, the Board has other activi- ties such as the dance for both Boys ' and Girls ' Board members, held once a term, and a stag dinner for the Boys ' Board.

The work of the members consists chiefly of assisting in the Personnel Office and Book Depository. The Associate girls must give one full period a day to this work. These girls have all the privileges of the regular Senior Board girls except that of attending meetings and of voting at elections and trials. They fully realize the responsibility placed upon them and try to use justly the power given them. They are equally aware of the purport and intent of the Board motto, Noblesse Oblige and endeavor to fulfill that motto. The Associate Board is composed of twenty-six girls: six A12 girls, ten B12 girls, and ten All girls. These girls are elected respectively by their classes. The A12 members are: La Vaughn Bradley, Margery Cass, Louise Goldman, Mar- gery Hall, Lois Heitler, Betty Johnston, Jean Kunkel, June Landstrom. Jean Potter, Phyllis Worth. The B12 ' s are: Lorraine Averrill, Margaret Branscom, Jean Clarke. Mary Erikson, Patricia Freese, Betsy Fricke, Regina Haimo. Winston Hill. Nancy Scougall, Myra Seeley, Vivian Shafer.

Every member, through his fine co-operation and excellent work, made it possible for the members of the regular Board to act more efficiently with greater accuracy. Thus, a fine spirit of friendliness and a bond of unity were created between the two Boards. These few selected Associate Board members have practically the same powers and privileges as do the regular members. The differences are that the Associate Board members do not have the privilege of wearing the Board sweaters, and the wearing of the regular Board pin. Instead, the Associate members have their own pin on which is clearly designed Associate member. This Board is made up of All, B12, and A12 boys- There are ten All boys who are elected by their classmates, just as are regular members. However, the five B12 and the nine A12 associates are elected by the regular Senior Board. All through the term, these fellows have given, unceasingly, their leisure time and effort for the betterment of the Student Body. L. A. H.

The benefits to the students are immeasur- able. It develops within the student that spirit of self reliance and self direction.

This task in itself is difficult enough; but in addition, these boys act as hall guards and in many other ways assist the Senior Board and the Executive Committee. L. A. High is considered one of the finest schools in the city and is admired by many visitors from all over the United States. The Boys ' House and Grounds is striving to uphold this fine reputation.

M. Fredericks The Student Body business office is the center of financial activity at Los Angeles High School, around which the various student activities revolve. All money taken in by the cafeteria, clubs, athletics, and aud calls is received, disbursed, and recorded in this office. It acts as the business agent for the school and the outer world. Thus, the Student Body business office is essential to the maintenance of L. A. High. The work in this business office, which is carried on by selected students under the able supervision of Mr. William Fredericks, is very beneficial to them as it affords valuable experience. It trains them to think clearly, and above all, to be accurate. With the knowledge acquired in the business office, they are fitted to enter almost any line of business. Radio, an immense industry, calls for accountants, stenographers, and clerks to handle the financial work just as any other industry. The objective of this business office is to prepare students to fill these positions. The members of the business staff are: La Verne Anderson, Ilo Bergling, Mary Blythe, Harry Bows, Violetta Briggs, William Capps, Irene Chovan, John Dean, Annette Feinberg, Betty Freistat, Verne Heimerdinger, Clair Heximer, Peggy Jane Jett, Denice La Rocque, Eddie Millar, Nobuye Ono, Allan Packer, June Reynolds, and Voteau Seng.

(Attl ■ ' - •  ■ ■ 1 ib H i f n J 3 vflB thirty-eight Stage Grew Stage manager: Henry Moeck Sponsor: Mr. Thorpe The Los Angeles High School stage crew was first organized in September, 1917, to instruct students in stage management, to give them experience in stage produc- tions, and to make possible the performance of school programs. The members of the crew and their accomplishments are recorded in the stage year book. The fine assem- blies of this term have, in a large measure, been due to the alertness and the co- operative spirit of this group of boys. Many dances in the girls ' gym are dependent upon the crew for such preparations as setting up stage risers and operating the spot- light. The boys on the crew are divided into three groups: the electricians who run the electric board and build and repair devices for carrying current around the stage, the doormen who move scenery and erect the sets for the activities taking place in the auditorium, and the flymen who control the large drops and curtains and check the ropes, thus making the show run on schedule. The crew receives the same credit as those boys taking cabinet making. The members of this year ' s crew are: Henry Moeck, manager; Emil Schultz, head electrician; Don Parry, assistant electrician; Don Orne, head flyman; Bob Rogers, flyman; Ed Remick, flyman; Charles Wright, head floorman; John Laune, assistant floorman.

White The Los Angeles High School Gym 3oard is, without a doubt, a very valuable and necessary asset to the Physical Education department. This active organization relieves the coaches of a great amount of work. As one of the most important groups in the athletic department, the Gym Board is responsible for the care of the gym office, the locker room, and the basket room. Coach Herbert White, the founder, is the sponsor. The boys that he appoints are trustworthy and co-operative in all of their duties. The members are: John Butler, Joe Barnett, Hamilton Baymiller, Alfred Coodley, Angelo Cammarano, Bob Cunningham, Manuel Echevarria, Don Goodenow, Wallace Grant, George Gorham, John Grelck, Bill Huggins, Douglas Harrison, Arthur Morey, Joe McPherson, Dick McKibben, Paul McKibben, Gordon Mac Lean, Bob Meyler, Edward Melczer, Bob Morton, George Nielson, Joe Okubo, Raborn Philips, Jack Spencer, Har- rison Shear, Lloyd Tevis, John Wilson, Frank Weir, Marvin Whitson, Lloyd Wadleigh, Clarence Young.

West Serving three thousand customers daily in five different service lines, Los Angeles High School ' s cafeteria is the largest business organization within the school. Food is prepared in a modern, sanitary kitchen and served to students at minimum prices by a staff of fourteen adults and of over sixty student workers. These students fill every position in this large institution from waiters and cashiers to student managers. They receive meal allowances in return for their services. Thus, to its customers, L. A. High ' s cafeteria is a source of wholesome food served at a low cost; to its workers it also becomes a practical trade school and business training center. The student workers in the cafeteria maintain high standards of scholarship and conduct. Their records are checked before they may start work. The student wins his promotions through industry and actual worth. Initiative, interest, and efficiency are the by words of the Los Angeles High School cafeteria. Only with such standards would it be possible to accomplish their task which is to provide food for three-fourths of the Student Body. Left to right.

Its aim is to perpetuate this campaign in an attempt to make our school public safety conscious. It acts as an advisory body in all matters which concern the safety of our school, and is also interested in problems which are outside of the school but which are connected with it to some extent. A change in the membership has been made this last term. The elected members now consist of four boys and four girls from each of the upper grades, as compared to the previous one boy and one girl. The members are as follows: A12 representatives: Ruth Andrews. Howard Bernstein, Jack Codie, Josephine Cribb, Elaine Ellis, Mona Lisa Jones, Bob Maier, Lester Shear. B12 representatives: Kiki Apffel, Martin Cooper, Richard Hartley, Winston Hill, Bill Kusuda, Dorothy La Follette, Laurence Rodsen, Elizabeth Smith.

Without the whole hearted interest of any of these groups, our future as a great institution would be less bright. As the radio represents the collective teamwork of hundreds of people and many departments, so Los Angeles High School signifies the combination of youth and maturity, working together toward the goal of making good citizens. Our loud speaker is not a mechanical device, but the com- bined accomplishments of our students and graduates. The first few weeks of this semester were handicapped by the absence of our principal, Mr. E. W. Oliver. During his illness, Mr. R. C. Noble, boys ' vice-principal, took over Mr. Oliver ' s duties while Mr. H. E. White, head of the boys ' gym department, held Mr. Noble ' s position. Mr. Oliver ' s return brought great pleasure to all, for the activities of the school were then resumed as normal. Official figures found the P.-T. A. membership higher this term than that of any senior high school in the United States. With such an active interest being taken by the parents, we may feel assured of even greater success in the task of moulding good citizens. Topping other large high schools again in enrollment, this term found Los Angeles High the largest school in the city with 4077 students. As usual, the English de- partment was largest in size with a total enrollment of 3387. The science department was second with 2932 students studying chemistry, physics, and the numerous other branches. A total of 2489 was claimed by the social science studies, with the com- mercial courses next, enrolling 2150. Language claimed 2064, with the mathematics courses enrolling 1541, and arts 868. With men of the unit straining every power, the R. O. T. C- Honor School Inspection took place on May 5. Having a long record of ten honor position awards to uphold, the 273 men of the unit put forth every effort to be the finest high school group in the ninth corps area again. One of the most memorable events of the army year was an actual field maneuver participated in by the entire unit. A convoy of fifteen National Guard trucks with a police escort traveled to the country near the Ventura county line when the men of the unit spent the morning putting into practical use the theoretical instruction they had received at home. Two talking moving pictures were presented this semester. The famous story, Ramona, was shown in March, and the fine Louis Pasteur presented early in April. Both were received with whole hearted interest and support by every one. In the latter part of March, Mrs. Wallace gave her very interesting talks again to the senior boys and girls. The first assembly of the term was held on April 8th, and honored the C. S. F. students of the senior class. Dr. Coons, dean of men at Occidental College, was the guest speaker. The Student Body was highly entertained by the Pomona College Men ' s Glee Club, which gave a performance on April 21. They were enthusiastically received. The widening of Olympic Boulevard will add greatly to the beauty of the campus and surroundings, and will alleviate the congestion that .impaired safety greatly for those students crossing to the Memorial Park during lunch periods. The annual open house night was held on the evening of April 30th. At that time, parents were allowed the rare privilege of seeing their sons and daughters actually carrying on the work of a normal school day. The third period classes were in session during the early part of the evening, after which guests visited the gymnasium. Oliver pool, or were entertained in the auditorium. The last patriotic ceremony of the school year was the participation of the R. O. T. C. unit in the Memorial Day parade on May 31st at the Coliseum. Thus another school semester was completed whose activities proved all the more the fine spirit and co-operation existing among students. Faculty, and parents. With a continuation and increase of this interest, we can expect more fully trained graduates and finer citizens.

Realizing that we shall soon be separated from friends and be obliged to adjust ourselves in coping with a new and different world, we look upon the future with courage and enthusiasm inspired by the spirit of our beloved alma mater. We shall have as our guide, the standards taught us and the knowledge gained while within the walls of Rome as we pass on to greater achievements. Our great hope is that our loyalty and service have returned in part the joy derived in being members of the Student Body of this wonderful institution. Farewell, dear school, and may our de- lightful memories of you always linger! •X Pifi 3 Mary K. Dodsov June [ja-ndxtrom Charles Bragg The Radio Its Contributions and Obligations has been chosen as the theme of our Semi-Annual because we realize the influence that radio exerts upon the youth of today. Radio not only offers a vehicle of entertainment and communication ; but it is also a medium of education to the people of the world as well. Radio, as a theme, not only covers an inexhaustible amount of subject matter; but also it is a field which keeps up with the modern trend of thought. Thus, we believe that the glorification of this gift to humanity is a theme worthy of the Summer ' 37 Class. To Mrs. Neuswanger and Mr. Reilly. we owe whatever small success of prominence we have obtained. We wish to express our sincere appreciation for their able sponsor- ship and valuable guidance. Through their efforts and patience in organizing our class and in directing its activities, they have proved invaluable. We are truly in- debted to our sponsors for the time and patience devoted in giving us so many happy moments, and we feel a regret in our hearts as we say goodbye to these friends, our own cheerful Mr. Reilly and our own gracious Mrs. Neuswanger. We shall long cherish our associations with them, and may they keep a place in their hearts for the Class of Summer ' 37. As our high school career draws to a close, we. the Class of Summer Thirty-seven, look upon the future with courage and enthusiasm inspired by the spirit of Rome. At this time, we should like to express our gratitude for the three fruitful and memorable years which we have spent here. The class meetings, Senior A and B debate, vaude- ville. Star and Crescent exercises, and dances have made this last term one of our happiest. 1 Seniors Signieg Off! RALPH R. ABRAHAM S ucceeds in all sports S triving to learn accounting at U. S.

FRIEDA ERES, A12 To tlhe Radio Aeooujieeeir Breathes there a man with soul so dead That never to himself has said. While hiting nails and tearing hair In signs of his most great despair, Oh, how I ' d like to shoot that guy Who urges everyone to buy An oil well — with a mine to-boot. Or bargains in a two pants suit. You can be sure that every time Your interest may begin to climb He ' ll interrupt — and to appease Your wrath, he ' ll start in selling cheese. Half of your favorite program ' s used To show you how your scalp ' s abused. He doesn ' t even think it wrong To break into your favorite song, Telling you not to mind those bills Or that you need pink liver pills. Before another minute passes. You are convinced that you need glasses. Then in his shrill, high voice, tyrannic. He tries to make soap sound romantic ; Next, to a lilting violin, Croons, Fallen arches are a sin. What is your trouble — indigestion. That painted look, or lung congestion? Accept no substitute. he cries. Just let us fit your plates, be sighs. All through the day and part of the night They advertise with all their might ' Till they fill my heart with so much woe I have to turn off my radio.

We, the class of Winter ' 38 as all youth of today, are fully aware of the rising importance of radio, and we acknowledge our indebtedness to radio for aiding in the advancement of education and entertainment. As members and leaders of the coming generation, the Senior B Class realizes the importance and the possibilities of radio in the establishment of peace and progress of the world. Because of our enthusiasm shown in our numerous class meetings, and because we, though not a very large group, are more than well represented in all school organizations and activities, we are fully confident of our ability to replace successfully, if not excel, the graduating class as leaders of L. A. High. In the future, as we have in the past, we will respect the high ideals of the school and endeavor to establish greater aims for the classes following us. We wish to express our thanks to Miss Adams and Mrs. McCune, our sponsors, for their help In the organ- ization and direction of the activities of the Winter 38 Class.

Those students selected for staff work feel that the production of this publication is one of the most enjoyable and profitable opportunities in their high school careers. Through contests and organizations, every student in school is given an unusual chance to develop his creative literary ability by giving his best to the theme of the term. Los Angeles High School is proud to have won for the second term, the much coveted Columbia Medal awarded by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The S ' 37 staff hopes to bring this honor a third time to our school. The staff owes much appreciation to Miss Lavayea and Miss Hodge, its Faculty sponsors, in the production of this edition, as they have shown never ending patience and guidance. The Summer ' 37 staff is: Martha Nordling, editor-in-chief; Jack Dwan, business manager; Betty Huebener, Ethel McCarthy, Shirley McKibbin, co-ass ' t. editors; Jose- phine Cribb, literary editor; Frieda Eres, Verne Heimerdinger, Jean Alexander, ass ' ts; Mildred Tyre, organization editor; Helen Cohen, Edna Connolly, assistants; Dorothy Argabrite, La Vaughan Bradley, co-senior A editors; Peggy Franklin, chief assistant; Texanna Bates, Jane Bradley.

With the staff in 238 ninety-eight Blue and White Daily Completing its forty-fifth semester of publication, the Blue and White Daily brought seventy-six issues to the students of L. A. High, containing news of students, faculty members, debates, clubs, athletic events, and school dances. The feature page supplied many Romans with thoughtful editorials and interesting features. The editorial staff was headed by Frank Thomas, editor-in-chief, who was assisted by Jerry Levie and Harry Hill, managing editors; Penrose Desser and Bob Golden, news editors: Henry Rosen, sport editor; and Mary Eleanor Jones and Jean Colclough, feature editors. Sid Sussman lead the business staff as general manager, assisted by Fred Rindge, business manager; Jack Loew, advertising manager: George Bailey, subscription manager; Sally Rubin, auditor; and William Block, mailing. The mechanical department of the paper was sponsored by Mr. Alfred T. Vaughan. print shop instructor, and Mr. Royal B. Field, linotype instructor. Miss Katharine C. Carr sponsored the news, copy desk, and advertising classes. As a new venture, on the invitation of the editor of the West Adams Tribune, Mr. Morgan, the Blue and White Daily has edited a page in that publication weekly. Jerry Levie has acted as editor. The interest of the page has caused much favorable com- ment. The Daily has also conducted columns in the Wilshire Press and the Hollywood Citizen News as well as in several other local papers. The circulation of the Daily has been the largest in its history, and has necessitated a new system of distribution. A center was established on each floor in charge of responsible boys where the home room treasurers procured the papers instead of coming to the office. In connection with the paper, a complete file of the alumni has been kept. All the othei city high school papers have been placed on file in the news office for the benefit of ill students of the school.

All students of Spanish are invited to write articles for El Romano, and thus improve their facility to use the language. During the eleven years of its existence, El Romano has always been able to find a small group of Hispanists to manage its publication; and with the help of ambitious students in the advanced classes, enough copy has been contributed to fill its columns. The pleasure given to the thousands of Romans during the years, of reading their own Spanish paper and the value to them of the practice in reading and in writing for El Romano, justify its continuance as one of the traditions of Los Angeles High School.

Edwards The Nuntius, the Los Angeles High School Latin publication, is recognized as one of the most outstanding high school Latin papers in the United States. Now in its seventeenth year of publication, the Nuntius has set a high standard for the study of both the Latin and Greek languages. The eight pages of this publication are filled with numerous articles on interesting phases of ancient Roman and Greek life, history, and ideals. Latin puzzles are used to give an entertaining relief from the daily reci- tation and to make the students want to learn more about the language. Under the able sponsorship of Dr. Edwards, the circulation of this paper has been increased from that of a mere school publication to a wide distribution including many schools all over the United States.

A history of ambitions realized by the winners and hopes unfulfilled by those defeated by the thinest margin, and dreams to come true in the future is written on the walls. One is filled with wonderment while standing beneath its sheltering ceiling, experiencing the excitement and thrill of a past class graduating amid tears and laughter, the adventure and activity of winning an athletic championship, the interest of a heated debate, the honor of military drill victories, and especially, the pride of winning Semi- Annual awards, Ail-American and blue ribbon medals over country-wide contestants. All of these traditional events are brought to mind and memory by even a glance into the most cherished room of Rome. George Washington ' s beloved features, captured in marble, holds the center of this treasure-hold while the kind, sad face of Abraham Lincoln stands out in the back- ground. Each of these heroes symbolizes national triumphs. The walls of the trophy room are beautifully ornamented with many interesting and artistic murals inspired by the culture of the ancient Greeks. Under these colorful designs are arranged the cherished possessions of our school. Within this room are kept the laurels won in many activities, debating, literary, athletics, military, shorthand and commercial arts, dramatic presentations, and the Semi-Annual as well as other demonstrations of talent. One could stand in rapt atten- tion for hours before this treasure-hold, visualizing many great moments in the history of our school. With a feeling of awe, one leaves this room, this monument to achievement of Los Angeles High School, this inspiration to the future generation!

By the vote of his Faculty and fellow class mates, one student in every forty is elected for strength in scholarship, leadership, and character. Dr. Shields, the founder of this society, realized that the ideals of the Athenian youth, centuries ago. would establish a fine goal for the youth of today, so in 1918 the first Ephebians were chosen. Communities fostering such traits as are required for Ephebian election are the leaders of progress, and it is with this fact in mind that the candidates are so carefully selected. The radio itself, spells progress; but without the necessary carefully pre- pared equipment, it would be unable to hold its place in the march of progress. The Ephebians have the great responsibility of leadership in civic affairs, since they have been trained in the schools and chosen by their teachers and friends. The 19 Ephebians chosen of the Class of Summer ' 37 are: Signa Breedlove. Betty Crawford. Jack Dwan. Mary Gingrich. Mary Anne Hall. L. B. Harbour, Kit Hambly. Sid Hayes, Bette Lou Hogg, Jim Keefe, Sally Kirby, June Landstrom. Bill Marshall. Jim Murphy, Allan Packer, Catherine Pyne. Frank Weir, Marlyn Whedon. Hal Winogura.

To become a member of this society, a student must have belonged to the Periclean society for at least four semesters, one of which must have been in his senior year. To have the California Scholarship Federation seal on one ' s diploma is indeed a great honor as it represents industrious and earnest study throughout high school.

Each semester, the Periclean Society has various activities. This term, the activities included a dance, held April 7. an expedition to Exposition Park, and the usual breakfast at the close of the term. Membership to this society is gained by receiving all R ' s, at least three of which must be special recommendations for the Honor Society- Because of the present system of grading, the membership of the society has decreased. This year, from a total enrollment of 4017 students, only 209 have achieved Periclean standing.

It is known as the oldest and most enduring of all the traditions. When introduced in 1879, the society was called the Natural Science Cluh. It was organ- ized first for the entire Student Body, but the rapid growth of the school has made it necessary to exclude all grades except the Senior A ' s and B ' s. One of the final tributes paid to the graduating seniors is Star and Crescent Day when a farewell assembly is held in their honor. Each Senior A is then presented with a pin in the form of a star and crescent, which is held dear by the alumni as a symbol of the bond of friendship cherished by all. The closing event of the day is a dance given to the A12 ' s by their friends and companions, the B12 ' s. The names of the members of the S ' 37 class will be entered on the roster of the Star and Crescent Society, immor- talizing the spirit of our school. The president of the Star and Crescent Society is elected from the Senior A Class; the vice-president and secretary are from the Senior B Class. Officers: president, Jim Murphy; vice-president, Betty Wynn; secretary, Pat Adams. Sponsors, Miss Adams, Mrs. McCune, Mrs. Neuswanger. and Mr. Reilly. ■tames M nrjih y Betty Wynn Patricia loams one hundred twenty-six FORENSICS Foreesic Owing to the graduation of a large number of our varsity debaters, the Roman debate squad became rather depleted ; and debate coach F. Murray Keslar was forced to look for new material. Fortunately, there was a large response from the previous semesters ' debating I classes which helped make up the deficiency. Those who are enrolled for debating II are: Bertha Cooper, Anthony De Santis, Mildred Eberhard, David Edelson, Yoshio Fukuy- ama. Warren Goldstein, Virginia La Fonde, Chikau Matsuo, Abelardo Rodriguez, Stanley Sanders, Nicholas Snyder, Betty Jane Strauss. Morton Salsberg, and Hitoshi Yonemura. The newcomers were also plentiful. They are Jack Barraclough, Irwin Bross, Bill Deuterman, Harvey Flax.

This year, the Southern California Debate League inaugurated a new tour- nament which was held here at Los Angeles High. Besides the Southern California Tournament, our debaters took part in the Los Angeles Junior College Tournament and in the Redlands Tournament. Unfortunately at the time of the writing of this article, the results of these contests were not available. In addition to our regular league debates, we participated in many interscholastic free lance debates. As a whole, we may look back on a success- ful season. Coaches: Dr. F. Murray Keslar. and Mr. L.

This term ' s latest addition to the society is Bertha Cooper who completed her required number of wins in a league debate with Alhambra High School. Mildred Eberhard, who won her letter last semester debated actively, took part in the Redlands Debate Tournament. She also represented Los Angeles High School in the Southern California Extemporaneous Oratorical Contest. Marvin Goldstein, a letterman of last term, participated in several debates this semester. Dorothy LaFollette, another newcomer to the society, repre- sented Los Angeles High School at the Redlands Tournament with Mildred Eberhard. Lawrence Sacks, also a letter winner from last semester, graduates in June as do most of our lettermen. Marvin Shapiro, besides winning his letter in his B12 year, represented his class in the Senior A-Senior B debate. Nicholas Snyder, debate mana- ger for this term, is a returning letterman. Hal Winogura, who represented his class twice in two Senior A-Senior B debates leaves us in June through graduation.

A. ' s campus. Under the direction of Miss Verna C. Blythe, the singers have tried to bring to the students an interest in this beautiful music which is sung without accompaniment. With our A Cappella as a stepping stone in our alumni ' s musical careers, many have been accepted in music clubs in institutions of higher learning. Some of these organizations are well known for their national radio broad- casts. The social affairs are a Get Acquainted banquet, a musical for mothers and friends, and the Spring Prom. We have sung on a program at the Sutro-Seyler Studio, in our own assembly, at the annual Spring Concert and on the Vesper Service program.

O. T. C. unit of the Los Angeles High School is a voluntary military organi- zation providing training in military activities plus the teachings of self respect, leader- ship, quick thinking, and obedience that are inseparable from military efficiency. The mission of the R. O. T. C, as defined in the military text is to awaken in the student an appreciation of the obligations of citizenship, to prepare him to discharge his duties as a citizen, and to qualify him as a military leader. The constant aim of the Los Angeles High School unit is to follow these ideals faithfully, and to obtain military efficiency that is unsurpassed. The success of the unit in striving toward these aims is shown clearly by its history. For the past eleven years, with a single exception, the battalion has been desig- nated by the War Department inspectors as an honor unit for the Ninth Corps Area. This record, combined with the brilliant leadership of Colonel Mudgett, has established a spirit and tradition among the members that has never failed to excite the enthusiasm of all observers, both civilian and military. one hundred thirty-nine R. O. T. G Colonel John . . Mvdat U Colonel John J. Mudgett is the professor of Military Science and Tactics for the Los Angeles High School battalion. His personality is the dominant force that has guided the unit to its present position as the pride of its members and the envy of others. His service in two major wars and his natural ability, which won him the position of regimental commander in France, have given him a judgment of men and military psychology that is directly responsible for the success of the R. O. T. C- unit. Mrs. Lena M. Morgan Sergeant James Lawson Since Mrs. Lena Morgan has taken over the musical instruction of the R. O. T. C. band, the improvement in this organization has been generally acclaimed. Her musical ability and her untiring enthusiasm are greatly appreciated by all members of the unit. Sergeant James Lawson is Colonel Mudgett ' s assistant in the supervision of the battalion ' s activities. His responsibilities relate chiefly to the equipment and marks- manship of the men. His experience with cadets and his efficiency in instructing make him an invaluable leader. one hundred forty Major Cooper Captain Captain Captain 2nd Lieutenant William Look Robert Wise Charles Bra an Wayne Elliott 2nd Lieutenant 1st Lieutenant 1st Lieutenant 2nd Lieutenant Robert Chan William Halliburton Robert Sherman Maxwell Greenberg Staff Major John D.

GILLESPIE LETTERS  r As tin ' radio is now sut ' li a common instrument to most of us, we are apt to for- get, because of its recent development, that its influence is only in a measure realized- In no way. can it lie construed as being a part of either speech or printed matter because both become infinitesimal by comparison. On sober thought, we become overwhelmed by the possibilities of radio. With such a great power, a heavy responsibility is imposed. The radio challenges us, the rising generation, to guard it carefully because such possibilities carry with it a responsibility of the greatest magnitude. We must guard it so that its advantages may continue for the welfare of all posterity and be a means of creating greater good among all peoples, and not a means of enslaving free men. The radio would defeat its own purpose if it eliminated the basic principles of our country, that of free speech. Public broadcasts must necessarily for the good of the people be licensed; but this does not prevent, for as a matter of fact it requires, that the radio must at all times stand on the sound foundation of free speech. This challenge to the rising generation can be answered only by intelligent and respectable use of the radio so that free men will remain free. MARTHA NORDLING, editor-in-chief The influence that radio has over us politically is primarily one of at least ex- posing us to political problems. How many of us in our active existence would take time out to read a long dissertation by one of our statesmen? Unfortunately, but a few of us would. But when it is possible in our own homes to sit back and hear the same words spoken, we are more apt to listen. This power alone can awaken an interest in current government which we should prize highly, and regret that past generations were deprived of it. Let us then give radio more attention and concern for what it can in return give to us, and consequently for the service it can render our democracy through us. JACK DWAN, business manager Brisk voices, drawling voices, happy voices, mournful voices, soft voices, harsh voices, we listen to them all as the hours tick on day by day. We, in truth, speak our way through life. The gift of speech is a perpetual fountain into which we may dip our cups and bring them up brimming with inspiration. Yet, do we replenish our supply frequently enough from this sparkling fountain? Do we harken to the words of humanity? Yes, we are beginning to learn the art. Our nation is becoming speech conscious. The radio, magic transmitter of sound to the average American fireside, serves as a vital factor in the task of creating in the mind of the average individual an appreciation of clear diction, constructive thought and the ability to profit by the achievements of others. Time is precious on the air. Hundreds of clinking coins are consumed each second a voice rings out over the ether. Script must be brief, interesting, and directly to the point. Announcers, speakers, and actors must enunciate with a smooth, rhythmic quality of tone and volume. We are following the fine example set for the world by the artists of the microphone. We are learning to speak correctly, clearly, and concisely. Let us make our spoken words of lasting interest to our listeners. Speech is golden. BETTY HUEBENER. assistant editor-in-chief In the beginning, the curtain of life rose. The cast stepped forward into time and bowed to the waiting audience, a primitive but eager human race. A glorious sun, the character light, brought hope and courage to those watching: a magnificent flame, the character heat, promised progress and comfort: an inspiring voice, the character sound. gave knowledge and happiness. Inspiration so filled the minds of the spectators of the great Play of the Elements that their clumsy fingers were moved to create the subtle, delicate, greatest of all great influences, radio! Out of the air. onto the stage of reality, radio was heralded. The coming of radio was heard and felt everywhere as its mighty network of arms reached out to bring north to south, east to west, drama to science, poetry to politics, music to education, honor to economics, art to religion. The star performer characterizing, now, the protector of progress and peace: then, the guardian of the home; here, the promoter of the arts; there, the keeper of knowl- edge and always, the encourager of democracy, lies firmly implanted within a magical device, radiating her vital messages to her enthralled listeners. ETHEL MCCARTHY, assistant editor-in-chief one hunrtrrd fifty-one Radio, in a few years of public use, has risen from the rank of a curiosity to the status of the communicating link which has joined the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. It has only started its climb, yet its advancements are tremendous, for today is a period of great development for radio. Although radio is in its infancy when swing orchestras, emotional serials, in- ferior talent and false advertising issue from the loud speaker in rapid succession, another type of program is finding a place among the public. Such presentations of classic dramas, concerts, trained singers, and educational programs are gaining in popularity every day. Brodcasting systems are spending vast sums of money upon buildings dedicated exclusively to radio productions. Even with these improvements, radio scarcely has begun to advance. Eventually there will be higher standards in types of programs, artists, and advertising because radio will develop as have other inventions of men for Progress is the law of life. SHIRLEY McKIBBIN, assistant editor The importance of listening to the proper radio programs has not been sufficiently impressed upon the minds of the American public. However, radio listeners are now developing discrimination in regard to their type of radio entertainment. Psychologists tell us that every experience in life changes us in some degree. If we listen constantly to programs of a poor sort, our thoughts and habits are gradu- ally influenced. The change is so slow that one does not realize t he effect that is taking place. It is essential, then, that we do not spend many moments with the wrong sort of program. We listen to the radio constantly which alternates the worst type of programs with those of better character. The public should be educated in regard to choice of programs and should demand better entertainment. In this way alone, will the standard of radio programs be lifted to a level worthy of America. DOROTHY ARGABRITE. Senior A co-editor The radio is the most indispensable treasure in every home today because from it we gain knowledge and enjoyment, gems which are as precious to us as were the pirates ' riches of old. The radio can well be compared to these treasure chests which were filled with bounty and sealed with lock and key by the pirates. Later, their secrets were found, and opened; and from them came magnificent arrays of jewels in all colors, glittering with beauty and splendor. Recently, a treasure which was not hidden by ancient pirates, but concealed in the air by some Supreme power has been found. This discovery was the radio. Centuries of work and study were spent before the key was found which fit the lock to that treasure chest of radio. When it was opened, the entire world received a more wonderful array of gems. It brought, by magic through air, beautiful music and eloquent drama; it opened for us a door into the fields of science, art, history, literature, and religion. The riches deposited by the pirates soon disappeared and left nothing. Our treasure chest, the modern radio, will remain open forever and will continue to contribute ma- n-rial which will enrich our lives abundantly. LA VAUGHN BRADLEY. Senior A co-editor As recently as twenty years ago, a music lover was obliged to travel, perhaps quite a distance, to some major city, and then to pay a large price for the privilege of listen- ing to classical music. These unfortunate conditions limited the audiences to the more wealthy class. There was then a feeling among the more ordinary people that this type of music was high-brow and uninteresting. .Music appreciation hours, hours with symphonies, hours with the Metropolitan Opera Company, and numerous others are now presented because of their steadily increasing popularity. Classical music is truly coming into its own deserved place in the life of the people. At this time, it is possible for most people, regardless of financial standing, to enjoy these programs, BOOthing to nerves harassed by the rapid tempo of our modern way of living, yet stimulating, cultural, yet diverting, simply by turning the dials of their radios and listening in the comfort of their own homes. The cloud of haughtiness has been dispelled from about this high type of music which has now become the pos- session of all who desire it. Through the marvel of radio, this type of program has been brought to the very firesides of an ever-Widening circle of appreciative homes. JUNE REYNOLDS, co-individual photographic manager one hundred fifty-two Reaching as far as the air, radio sends the message of sound. It is the only known method of transmitting sound which is not limited by distance. Today, living in an ultra-modern age, we know that radio is no longer a luxury but a necessity, an in- dispensable adjunct in the world of exploration, transportation, and law enforcement. Ships at sea would be unable to send and receive messages as they do enroute, and accurate schedules could not be adhered to. The greatest aid ever invented for saving sinking ships is the S. O. S. Without radio, the airplane is completely out of touch with civilization. Radio also gives us the news of our city, of our nation, and of the world. Before radio came into being, it was a matter of weeks, and sometimes months for news to be spread about the country. Since the advent of radio, communication has become a matter of a few seconds. When news is broadcast, as it is each hour, millions all over the world hear it. Radio in the home has long been considered a luxury. We are now realizing this is not so. It acts as our newspaper, our theater, our teacher, our doctor, and our chief source of entertainment- We can always live without luxuries, but not without radio. WAYNE RIVES, group photo manager Radio, since that first moment when Marconi, that genius of the modern century, first conceived his idea, has taken great strides. From a small, insignificant experiment to a great reality, from a luxury to an absolute necessity, thus has radio progressed. However, this metamorphosis has only its first stage; the full fledged wonder has not yet emerged. When radio was first discovered, it was intended only as a means of communication; but now, after a comparatively brief period of development and research, it is used in innumerable ways. One ' s imagination is taxed to think what will be developed in the next hundred years. Perhaps, we shall be able to converse with other planets; or we may all be carrying small radio sets on our persons with which we shall contact any one at any distances we wish at any time, who knows? GEORGE O. THORSON, co-individual photographic editor To the persons, shut in from the outside world because of physical or mental disabilities, radio plays an important and necessary role. Radio means more than just entertainment and diversion to these unfortunates. It creates the feeling of in- timacy with the world outside and warmth of companionship with those who are trying to make them happier. Radio has further aided invalids by educational broadcasts which have kept them in contact with world events. Radio has had another important social function in religious broadcasts in which words of cheer and encouragement by spiritual leaders have accomplished much in raising the morale of convalescents. Doctors inform us of cases in which radio earphones have actually improved hearing. For these people, radio has opened fields of intellectual and entertaining nature heretofore unknown by them. Certain it is, that if radio were to be judged solely by its contribution to medical science, it would still be considered one of the greatest of all inventions.

JOSEPHINE CRIBB, literary editor one h undred fifty-three Radio 9 § Gift Organization Poetry Prize — Philomathian We cannot see the world — Our eyes have not the awful power To pierce the mists that hide our souls. To see the drama, and the goals Ot mankind, every fleeting hour. Nor can we touch the earth — In all the distant, unknown lands Which fancy ' s whims have shaped so well, Is there one hill, one wooded dell That has a feel beneath our hands? We are not big enough — For we are naught, compared to Him Who rules the mighty universe. The God whose power to bless or curse Has wisely made our sight so dim. But He has let us hear Through radio. The poet ' s art. The pulsing drama of our race. The beauty which we cannot trace. The song that tears the listening heart. All these at last are ours. They are the essence of the best That this, our earth, has ever known. Through them, we gain the perfect throne; It matters not about the rest. WINSTON HILL, B12 A little white radio placed by the bed. A little round knob that turned, A sick little girl with tousled brown head, With cheeks red and fever-burned. A stiff white-capped nurse with a tear in her eye. A drink for the prostrate child. A few of the family stand by Praying the case to be mild. A cold little hand, a weak little cry. A mind that was wandering fast. A tearful complaint as the pain made her sigh — A pain that they thought was her last. A beckoning hand toward the new radio. A nurse to fondly obey. A brave little smile, a face all aglow. As Death came to lead her away. A joke or two made her smile through the din, A si rain from an orchestra group; A comedian fiddled his violin. And a news hound reported a scoop. A smile as she heard a heavenly tune, A smile without trace of doubt. A soft strain filled the darkened room As the radio ushered her out. SHIRLEY KROLL.

Inspiration for Life Senior A Essay Contest — First Prize It is raining tonight. I am shut in with my thoughts. Tonight, I am going to let them soar above petty, practical, everyday subjects. Tonight they are to fly higher, higher into the realm of true beauty- I can ' t seem to focus my thoughts. My mind drifts to things I must do. I can ' t seem to shut these little unimportant items out. I must get into the atmosphere that will free me. I turn the dial of the small insignficant box that stands on a discarded victrola. Discord! Ah, well, I do not want to think of that tonight. Tonight, I want to forget that we grow old, that we can lose our beauty and value, and that the world is not made up of dreams but of power, gold and greed. I turn the dial. What shall I have? Laughter? There is a time for that when you feel the urge of listening to light, gay, bantering conversation, but not tonight. News? There is something impressive about news given in the stacatto fashion, news that brings you to all parts of the world in a few clipped sentences. But my mind is not sharp enough to grasp the words that sting with their clarity. A syncopated rhythm? A tune that catches your fancy and plays around in your heart like a little elfen creature, teasing you provokingly. But tonight, I want something sublime. I have it. It comes into my room. It pushes the wall back. Music, music that solemnly, majestically, then joyously, sadly and plaintively picks me up, up until I feel that I can pull a star out from behind its dark coverlet and let it shine. The walls of my room have disappeared. I am walking in the rain. I feel it in my hair, and each drop is a star. I am walking, swiftly, then running: and then — then I am dancing freely, joyously, arms outflung. and I feel so happy my throat is con- tracted from the sheer beauty of the night. Music coming from nowhere. I do not have to sit in an opera house in tight shoes for the benefit of those around me, nor in a packed concert house. Tonight, a symphony plays just for me. Do you hear? Just for me alone. Tonight, I could write a poem, a poem that breathes of the beauty of the emotion that I feel. Tonight, I could sing a song that would break the ice around your heart and open it as mine is opened. Tonight. I could paint, paint in glorious vibrant tones that would put the warmth of the world in a flash of brilliant color. Tonight — the world is mine. It is over. I have done nothing. But I have lived. I have been touched by magic. I have felt inspiration. Tonight, the pulsa ting beats of my heart have been in accord with the rhythm of the world. The radio has woven for me an atmosphere of height and beauty. I do not let the radio, the source of magic and mystery, furnish me with trivial things; but I let it give me inspiration, joy, and thoughts that are so high that I must have wings to reach them. To think that through miles and miles of space, laughter, drama, knowledge, and music are flying straight to me. So that I may live the fullest in this too modern, too flashy, too busy world, I have learned to let myself go in the sheer ecstasy of living. Beauty is in the air, and I must accept it in the imaginative spirit in which it is given. The rain has stopped. I am home again, but the little undone tasks about me are not so oppressive. After the uplifting emotion, I can better see that there is peace in growing old, and that gold has a beautiful color. FRIEDA ERES, A12 Blasting Harlem rhythms. Satisfying tunes.

VIRGINIA JEANNE SMITH, B12 one Hundred fifty-nine Radio aod Its IniihiieinKse Senior A Essay Contest — Second Prize Because the messages of the radio are able to reach the ears of the world with little difficulty, it has become the greatest influence on public opinion today. It has become the moulder of the masses, the voice to the people. Because man can be so easily influenced by radio ' s great power, he must beware lest he be influenced in the wrong way. The great majority of people look upon radio as their only reliable source of pleasure, their only entertainer, their only teacher. They eagerly devour and as- similate all that they hear. They believe the music and the drama to be the finest, the humor to be the funniest, the political and economical news broadcasts, and discus- sions to be the gospel truth. Today, most people have accepted the fact that propaganda is the greatest ob- struction to clear thought and to rapid progress. The ether waves are just as suscept- ible to the use of propaganda as are newspapers and magazines, probably more so. By a single statement, true or untrue, spoken over the radio by an influential person, an entire nation may be swung from the side of pacifism to that of belligerence. A slight error in news reporting over the air is heard and believed by thousands of people. This eager credulence and complete trust in everything delivered over the radio are most dangerous. Consequently, radio must realize that its greatest obligation at the present time is to overcome all dangers of this sort by the absolute overthrow of the use of propa- ganda in all its forms. Perhaps, the most insidious of all the forms of propaganda is political propaganda, wherein the minds of the listeners are induced to believe or dis- believe alleged facts concerning the ideas or propositions of a particular political party. No matter how detrimental the criticized party may be, the radio is no place for one-sided discussions on politics. Political lectures on the air should be permis- sible only in the form of debates or forums. Ill feelings, such as were displayed by some members of both parties in the last election campaign, must be prohibited. Programs criticizing foreign governments should be discarded. Presentations, featuring such obvious propaganda, have a bad influence upon the right-minded citizen who is try- ing to play his part in the betterment of the world. Almost as malevolent as political propaganda is war propaganda. War dramas, programs featuring excessively martial music, sensationalized war news, are all in- direct war propaganda whether they are meant to be or not. Emotional picturizations of the Spanish Civil War or the Japanese torture of American sailors can but make the blood of any normal person tingle with horror and disgust, and his lips purse with hate; they arouse in him a desire to get even with the dirty dogs as a friend of mine said after listening to one of these programs. In the same category as sensationized war news are sensationalized crime pro- grams. These presentations were originally intended to make the public realize that crime doesn ' t pay, but their effect has been more negative than positive. These emotion-stimulators obliterate the sordidness and the evils of crime with the exciting and the thrilling. They have particular effect upon the growing child, diverting his interests from the normal decent pastimes to the unwholesome imitation of criminal characters. The most common form of propaganda is advertising. I classify all advertising that has a negative effect as propaganda. To advertise products that are detrimental to us as beneficial, to deliver flowery eulogies on doubtful manufactured articles, is definitely negative advertising and consequently propaganda. This presentation of ob- vious falsehoods to the nation should be classed as a felony. Propaganda of this type can in the end rank with war. crime, and political propaganda in the evil done. The principal obligations of radio, then, are the presentations of unbiased and fair political discussions rather than of prejudice and narrow-minded politics; the presentation of the factual and unembellished truth concerning war and crime rather than the sensationalized and highly emotional; the presentation of advertising bene ficial to the human race rather than malevolent advertising;. These four forms ot propaganda reach practically every phase of man ' s life; thus they make radio one of the decisive factors for continued progress. When radio has met its great obligations by the outlawing of propaganda over the ether, it will have become a lasting symbol of man ' s progress, a benevolent in- fluence, an educational pleasure! HOWARD BERNSTEIN, A12 one hundred sixty Radio to Date Senior A Essay Contest — Third Prize The hot sun beat down on the wilds of the African jungle. A native village lay in a small clearing; thatched huts were grouped around an open space in the center of the village. A band of dusky negroes squatted around an ancient ceremonial drum upon which a hideously decorated man was beating signals — boom! boom-boom! The hollow sound echoed through the clear atmosphere, re-echoing and rebounding against the hillocks and mounds of the surrounding country side. Miles away, another tribe was similarly grouped around a drum; but these natives were straining their ears, listen- ing to the low but distinct reverberations of the other distant drum. Then a profound silence, as the sound of the drum slowly died away! Immediately hubbub broke loose, as the excited natives gathered around their chief to hear the interpretation of the message from the neighborly tribe. Even today, the drum is used in Africa to beat out its messages; these messages are being passed along for hundreds of miles by kindred tribes, for the hollow sound easily travels through the atmosphere for several miles. What a far cry is this primi- tive manner of communication from our radio of today! In the lS90 ' s when radio was in its infancy, after the first development by Marconi, it only feebly transmitted its messages. At times, it seemed almost impossible to send or receive the impulses because of harsh static and atmospheric conditions which interfered with the sound waves. But the miracle of sending messages many thousands of miles through the medium of air alone has inspired men to work on this great discovery until radio has been brought to its present high state of efficiency. Today, instead of a novelty, it has become a necessity. Thousands of homes all over the world are equipped with radios, from the smallest crystal set to the powerful many- tubed instruments used hi scientific and governmental work. However, the radio has become so common that very few people seem to realize the great benefits to be derived from it. For instance, consider a home without the music from radio. What home is large enough or palatial enough to include a symphony orchestra, a 45-piece jazz orchestra, a group of hill-billies, or an entire opera company? Ridiculous, you might say. Yet just think of the innumerable musical programs all contained, figura- tively speaking, in a comparatively small box, all brought into our homes through the magic of radio! Symphonies from all the big cities, swing music from famous dance floors, not to mention the countless artists and singers, ranging perhaps from a tiny four-year-old on a juvenile revue to the most renowned of opera and concert stars are ours. Then too, what man has time and money enough to attend the numerous functions broadcast over the radio, the political conventions, parades, banquets, Hollywood premieres, social gatherings, sports events, football and baseball games, wrestling and boxing matches, and a thousand other events. Yet who would willingly give up hearing, in his own home, the many broadcasts of news, religious services, of educa- tional talks, of plays? Who would willingly forego a pleasant evening spent in relaxa- tion in an easy chair while listening to excellent plays given by famous performers, to concerts and symphonies, with perhaps the news, a sporting event, and a bit of swing music to add variety? Not only does radio provide entertainment; it contributes a variety of subjects, education along the lines of safety, art, music, literature, health, domestic, general, and political sciences; it provides a means of communication between cities, nations, continents; it provides an invaluable aid to ships in distress; it gives information, advice, counsel, and judgment; it offers a magical means ' to transport the listener from the mundane existence of every day life around the world: to a brilliant horse- race in Florida, to an expedition in ice-bound Little America, or to a gathering in our nation ' s capitol. Within our four walls, a parade of world wide events may take place with but the flick of a switch! In times of distress, fire, flood, earthquake, radio sends information and warning; it aids in locating missing persons; it issues weather reports. It is used to guide airplanes to their destinaton; and in police cars, it helps to prevent and solve crime. Radio brings joy and pleasure to the shut-in and invalid: it gives an opportunity to the producer to furnish entertainment for the public, and at the same time, to advertise his products; it gives employment to virtually thousands. Yet, there are some who say that radio has been detrimental to modern society, that it has taken away our ability to concentrate, that it has brought much harm by educating our tastes to the cheap and trivial, and that it has become purely a com- mercialized commodity. But in the face of the numerous benefits which we as radio listeners can gain with careful consideration and selection of programs, would anyone today express a wish to turn time back to the days before the magic of radio became common to our homes? MARY TOMPKINS, A12 one hundred sixty-one Politics Celts the Air Senior a Essay Contest — Honorable Mention If this age were to be deprived suddenly of the radio as a political instrument, we would immediately recognize the important role it has played in stimulating public- interest in current affairs, in increasing our general knowledge of civics and pertin- ent questions, and in modernizing and more securely binding together our democracy as a result of this knowledge. These accomplishments are surely a far cry from the political situation before the advent of the radio. Just imagine a return to the old stump speeches of Lincoln ' s day. Then, personal contact with large gatherings alone served as the chief means to secure votes. Think for a moment of the Lincoln-Douglas debates and of the lively crowds of men and women milling around torch-lighted platforms waiting to hear two great men speak on a subject of terrific importance to them all. Think of how those men and women profited by hearing the words spoken on those occasions; but think too of the twenty-five million others throughout the nation who read the speeches in cold print, of those who never heard about them at all. Think still again of an old time inauguration, of a more solemn crowd gathered before the capitol building to hear a president take his oath of office. That group heard him, yes; but what of others who. davs after, read his words stripped of their warmth and personality. They were the ones who were deprived of the personal touch, of that more intimate association with their leader, which today binds the entire country more closely through the radio. But torch-light stump speeches and isolated inaugurations have entirely passed from the national picture. As our nation spread and grew physically, it grew as well scientifically; and so with the advent of radio, politics took on an entirely new aspect. The necessity for speaking to a restricted audience has given way to the radically new political philosophy of the radio personality, which, we may find, may change our entire political set-up. But let us look at the situation from a different angle. Let us see how all this affects the man on the receiving end of the broadcast. Since the very beginning of party organization in this country, practically every national election has had its own special problem and has been hotly contested. In each case, great interest was aroused by the vital questions; but it is a matter for speculation whether the entire population was as well informed on both sides of the issue as it might have been and if everyone were truly conscious of each issue ' s national significance. We might well suppose that they were not because it was humanly im- possible for everyone to be as well informed as to national conditions as has been possible since the coming of the radio. This closer contact with government through the medium of radio is an important educator. However, few innovations are without their shortcomings: and radio is no ex- ception not within itself as an instrument of expression, but because of an insufficient volume of public opinion, which could, if it would, rout out the evils from behind the microphone. Unfortunately, every political campaign brings to the public ear propa- gandists and so-called smooth talkers, who. through ambiguity and intentional mis- information, befuddle the public mind, and often lead the voter to favor a measure or candidate that he would never support if he knew the facts. These evils are in- sidious enough in themselves; but if we look farther, we might even see them caus- ing great national confusion, utter disgust on the part of every loyal citizen, and the ultimate undermining of our finest democratic institutions, simply because the public bad lost confidence in its leaders. Of course, this is an extreme example; and we should not fear such developments if we continue to improve political broadcasting through a more forceful public opinion. • Thus, the quantity of improved radio politics will depend upon and will be in proportion to the force of the public opinion behind it. Until a perfect situation exists, our aims should be to insist upon truth and accuracy in those statements made over the air and to weigh what we hear carefully, discrediting the rabble-rousing propagandist, and giving more concern to the logical, clear-thinking speaker, who wins support by calm and sincere reasoning, and appeals to our intellects and not our emotions. This done, why is it not possible to expect radio to change the status of future political issues? We can expect it to raise the level of public intelligence on political matters, thereby making us wiser voters, and securing more accurate representation We can ' expect it to clean up party organizations by laying them open to criticism and contest until they will, by reason of public demand, comply to the peoples will. And we can expect through radio, moreover, the development of a neighborly under- standing of each other ' s problems because of our being more closely allied by this common bond, which will extend its Influence far beyond the boundaries of polities Into the lives of us all.

Radio no World Peaee Senior A Essay Context — II onmithle Mention During the Great War, improvements and innovations in wireless communication sprang up under the exigencies of armies fighting for life. From this war, there emer- ged a radio art as we at this time know it. Today, while people throughout the world are struggling to maintain peace, radio has another chance for advancement, and ad- vancement which would be invaluable to the world in general. To obtain permanent peace, the radio is a most necessary factor. We must broaden our minds with educa- tional programs, create a better understanding among the different peoples by inter- changing ideas, and promote an interest in world affairs. In this way, we shall be able to gain and maintain a much sought-after condition. In the World War, radio was used as a means of communication. Today, the radio acts not only as a means of communication, but also as a source of entertainment for America and other countries. Since a child ' s early training is of vital importance to him, a form of radio entertainment must be furnished from which he will derive some benefit. He should listen to stories of historical events such as the lives of great people who have contributed to society. The lives and customs of foreign children could be presented to promote interest in the foreign countries. Such programs would be of inestimable value to children because they would have instilled in their minds a desire for the higher type of program by the time they were ready to take an interest in the world affairs. However, in formulating these high ideals for children ' s educational programs, we must not overlook the sponsors who have interest only in those programs which draw dividends. The State College at Storrs in Connecticut has operated a radio station, trying to develop an educational service. Inadequate power and radio interference have vitiated all the attempts to develop this work. To take the radio out of the hands of commercial people and to put it under the jurisdiction of cultural agencies would mean a step toward our goal, permanent peace. The majority of programs to which the millions of Americans listen are chiefly musical and humorous programs for relaxation. Cultural and educational subjects arc decidedly subordinated to the more frivolous type of program. Of course, we do enjoy this humorous and light type: and yet if we would put forth an effort to acquire a taste for the superior programs, we would train ourselves to become more interested in serious, worth-while subjects. Considering this variety and number of programs to which we listen, what benefits do we derive? We say we are relaxed; but can we not be educated while being re- laxed? While listening to the musical programs of the higher type, we should not only be entertained, but we would also derive a musical background. By listening to open forums, presented in an interesting manner by people well informed on the subject, we should acquire a knowledge of world affairs. When we have developed this interest in world problems, we may by means of world-wide broadcast contact the outside world continuously and efficiently. By educating the people, permanent peace is more certain because the majority of the people will be able to grasp and to think out ideas more easily. We shall be able to understand foreign peoples ' ideas because of our communications with them. By raising the standards of our radio programs, we also present to foreign nations a series of worth-while broadcasts by which they judge us as a nation. By promoting a better understanding among nations, war is less prob- able because nations will not misunderstand each other. The little progress that has been made in this field has been grasped eagerly by the people. A notable example is that of the Pan-American Peace Conference from which President Roosevelt ' s speech was broadcast. This shows that the people are becoming more interested not merely in world affairs but primarily in peace: they welcome any substantial ideas on the subject. A method of gaining permanent peace which would be of inestimable strength would be the broadcasting of the Geneva Peace Conferences. The people throughout the world would be able to hear the truth about world affairs instead of having reports censored and would realize that they were all desirous of peace. In this way. they would work with each other instead of retarding their progress by propaganda. Considering the fact that we have around twenty million radios in the United States alone, the influence of the radio on the national mind is incalculable. The direction of the power of the radio towards education and understanding among the nations pro- motes peace. Thus, radio will make another advancement, an advancement which will be invaluable to the world in general. Permanent peace will be inevitable. CATHERINE PYNE, A12 one hundred sixty-n ven Radio Makes Aeotlher Foeod Senior a Essay Contest — Honorable Mention With the scientific- farming methods of today, the American farmer is confronted with many idle moments. As a general listener, his choice of programs is unlimited. Bach boar, many programs of various character are brought into his home. Market reports and weather forecasts serve agriculture daily through the radio. The farmer contacts, through the radio, a world of culture once unknown to him. one which is full of symphonies, good literature, drama, interesting speeches, and beautiful singing unfolds itself. He is amazed to learn how cramped and narrow his former outlook was and how he needed to expand and enrich his life. He lives a new life, indeed. His appreciation of cultural programs is much greater than that of his city friends because his life has had so little of this influence in it. He is far re- moved from the metropolises where singular men gather. However, the radio brings great personalities, musicians, authors, critics, actors, statesmen, each a master in his field, into the simple farm house. The farmer receives them courteously and listens eagerly to all they offer. Radio stations have discovered that rural people write letters which are much more appreciative than those which city listeners compose. The farmer ' s isolation explains his appreciation of radio programs and his eager- ness to learn from them. The lack of other sources of information places radio in an enviable position in the farm home as a means of meeting this eagerness to know. The farmer ' s wife learns much from the cooking lessons and home making programs. She is also interested in talks on clothes, diet, child psychology, and other subjects which engage the city matron. The boys and girls listen attentively to radio classes, learning a great deal about subjects which are not available to them in their schools. The farmer himself wants to understand intelligently a great many national problems and affairs and to be able to converse readily on many subjects. Having absorbed all he can in one evening by the radio, the farmer thinks it over carefully the next day. Anyone who has sat behind four horses as they pulled a harrow over a hundred acres of plowed ground knows what an excellent opportunity is offered for quiet think- ing. The farmer really needs food for thought since he has practically an unlimited amount of time in which to digest the knowledge gained. He has developed a serious- ness which is reflected in his choice of programs; indeed, in everything that he does. Although the farmer is serious in his use of the radio, he does listen to programs solely, or partly, for diversion. His freedom from long working hours has created a need for recreation. Delightful entertainment over the radio is more enjoyable to the farmer than to any other class of listener unless to the occupant of a sick bed. Moreover, the young people had been leaving the farms to seek happier lives in the cities. The radio has helped tremendously in keeping them occupied and contented at home. They can gather any evening and dance to the music of the best orchestra in the country. The young people, and the old folks, too, enjoy the same humorous entertainment which proves amusing to their sophisticated city cousins. A joke does not have to be crude, as some people think, in order to draw forth a laugh from a farmer. He has the same, perhaps even better, sense of humor, the same love of the beautiful, the same desire to improve himself. Moreover, the farmer ' s desire to improve his farming is aided greatly by the radio. Every morning, he listens to the market and weather reports and goes, then, to his work with a better understanding of agricultural conditions. He is no longer haunted by the fear that it may rain or freeze at night. Having been told definitely what the weather conditions are, he makes the proper preparations. The regular farm broad- casts inform him of the latest discoveries along his line. Whether he tills the soil or raises sheep, he can always find out the newest methods in his field. Radio pro- grams have been of gnat benefit to the perplexed farmer during any unusual calami- ties which have struck his section of the country. Any good program is a great benefit to one who appreciates it; it matters not what his occupation is, nor his color, nor his creed. The advantages of the radio are open to everyone. They are a wonderful opportunity for the people in outlying dis- tricts. With radio ' s help, the fanner will march onward and upward toward his goal, a life of balanced culture, education, recreation, and work. As he improves his daily living, himself, and his work, and applies energy, industry, and care to his work, he will be moving ever nearer his goal Meanwhile, the world looks with more interest toward this new friend of radio. DOROTHY AROABRITE. A12 one hundred sixty-eight I§ Radio a Companion!? Senior .1 Essay Contest — Honorable Mention Radio is a companion. It stimulates the social and the mental phases in mans life. This stimulation is the essential characteristic in a true companion. Under mental stimulation, there is also a direct stimulation of man ' s spiritual quality. In order to be true, one companion must have something in common with another; he must be on the same level. He must be able to entertain his companion; he must be constant; he must share n ews, politics, stories, and talents. A true companion stimulates one socially and mentally. Every one knows that it is impossible to please all people at all times. However, the recent sale ' s figures for radio sets have convinced me that there is still a reason- ably satisfied public. One of the chief arguments in favor of radio is that every one has something in common with it because of its wide versatility. The listeners ' tastes may vary from instrumental music of the finest type to constant jazz, from operatic stars to lisping crooners, from scientific lectures to homespun serials. Whatever his standing may be. there is a radio program of interest and of value to him. This may be purely for relaxation and enjoyment. Radio is, without doubt, the cheapest of amusements, as well as being the easiest to obtain. News, sports, gossip, serials, swing music, recitals, concerts, programs both amateur and professional, all bring a great deal of pleasure and contentment to a thankful public. In order for a person to be entertained by his companion, the latter must be ac- cessible, must be constant. What a pleasure it is for the traveller in a strange city to have a radio enabling him to hear the same programs which he has heard at home. If he has no other companion to whom he can turn, there is always his radio. It amuses, soothes, and comforts, or stimulates him to action as the case may be. It makes no dif- ference if the person is in a hospital, is a shut-in in his own home, or is a traveller in a strange city or country, or merely driving along in his automobile. The radio is his constant, ever-ready companion, giving its all and asking very little in return. Besides being accessible and entertaining, radio is a valuable news ' carrier. It brings local news, national news, and international news. It arouses an interest in world affairs. In bringing news, radio introduces people to new personalities. It brings one in contact with other races of men, and their customs, much the same as if a human companion were telling of his travels. In bringing news of and in creating an interest in politics, radio is again a vital power. It gives both sides of every political question so the merits of each side may be weighed and judged accordingly. The educational value of radio is a good subject for an essay in itself, not merely in that one is taught the correct pronunciation and usage of many words, but that in listening to lectures, concerts, dramas, and religious programs, one is forced to be mentally alert. New ideas are created as are arguments and questions. Many of the programs which one is apt to think of as being purely for amusement are also educa- tional. The Standard Symphony Hour and the Ford Symphony Hour are good ex- amples of musical education. The programs on which book reviews are presented are of great value in the selection of and the appreciation of books. This is also true of moving picture reviews and their influence. During the past ten years over various radio stations. Burr Mcintosh has conducted a program of Cheerful Philosophy. On this program, he has read many thoughtful and inspiring poems and sayings. Josiah Hopkins, the Country Parson, was one of the most beloved and revered characters ever to broadcast on the radio. His simple philosophy of life was inspiring to everyone who listened to him. The programs put on by the different churches, are of course, the most inspiring spiritually. All beliefs are represented. There are the music and the teachings of all creeds. Especially around Christmas and Easter times are programs of this sort fre- quently heard. Beautiful Easter hymns and Christmas carols may be heard sung by great choirs as in the Mormon Church at Salt Lake City. After all, what is more inspiring spiritually than a beautiful piece of music, or majestic church service? In bringing these to its listeners, radio stimulates them spiritually. Who or what other than radio could bring so much inspiration in so short a time? Radio does have something in common with every one. It brings enjoyment and happiness to all. It is always ready to serve man. It brings news of every sort. It educates the taste of its listeners. It causes them to think. It inspires them through music, poetry, literature, stories, plays, and most of all through broadcasts of beauti- ful church services. Radio possesses the quality of inspiration or stimulation both socially and spiritually. In the truest sense of the word, radio is a companion. BETSY LU WELLS, A12 .one hundred sixty-nine Radio In Education Senior A Essay Contest — Honorable Mention Every one wondera what we would do without the radio, but I am wondering what we do with it. The radio is a vital factor in our modern life; but its future use must show whether it is to be beneficial or detrimental to the welfare of the people. Educators and broadcasters all over the country recognize the radio as a means of raising the American standard of education to a higher level than it has now attained. Education is not only book learning, but it is a process of life. It helps us to think and aids in our understanding the world about us. Radio programs educate us by informing our minds and elevating our spirits. Th.- many different kinds of programs on tbe air increase our knowledge. Tune in some time and listen to the various programs of drama, literature, science, news, history, and politics. These programs are usually presented in a very interesting manner, and are educational without the listener ' s being conscious of it. The listener may be of any age. race, or class. As no distinction is made, the radio may be said to have an universal appeal. Very often a person cannot afford a higher education, but the radio is an instru- ment by which he can acquire one. Everyone is entitled to this higher training, and with the radio the gates of this land of knowledge are open to ail- That the people of a country be generally educated to carry on good government is essential, for without good government a nation soon falls apart. Centuries ago in Europe, there were serfs and slaves: but as they gradually were educated, they threw off the voke of servitude and formed fine upstanding governments. With radio as a means of education in the United States, a greater majority of the people will have better minds; and perhaps in time the few defects in our government can be corrected, and we may have a finer nation. If a country is to be fine and prosperous. the people who compose it must be happy. As education makes for the happiness and well-being of a people, the radio becomes a still more vital factor in our national life. Broadcasting for the express purpose of education is not very common at present, but experiments are being conducted in some parts of the country in an endeavor to perfect it. Schools are installing receiving sets in classrooms, and these are being used for a few hours every week. The programs are presented for different grades and cover all subjects. Educators and broadcasters meet to plan these programs so that the interest of the students may be upheld, and their wits and intelligence sharp- ened. The object of the radio in these schools is to supplement the teacher, not to supersede him. If this is followed, radio education cannot help being a success in the schools. Then as the schools take over the radio education, finer programs generally will result. In that case, even more so than now. when one is not in school, just a twist of the dial and your store of knowledge is increased. Television is no longer just a theory, but it is a fact, and given enough time for more development, it can be, and probably will be an invaluable aid in education by radio One of the finest things about tbe radio is that a cultural, as well as an academic- education is obtained very easily. With it the foremost artists in music and entertain- ment are brought before everyone. The radio is a permanent institution, and can be more of a force in education than it is now. It must be able to give information to an audience as well as to entertain it. At present, the radio is a blessing, but it is going to take a great deal of thought and hard work to keep it that way and to make it still more useful. As the years pass by we shall see what new roads are open for the radio in edu- cation. ABIGAIL GOODMAN. All ' Radio The air is tense: the crowd is hushed.

Bll one hundri si nty-five BeMud the Walk Lower Division Short Story Prize What ' s the world coming to? yelled Mr. Pinkham. throwing down his newspaper. One radio is bad enough, but two is the last straw! Why do those neighbors play their radio so loud, anyway? Although not quite the thing to do, these little outbreaks that sporadically punctu- ated Mr. Pinkham ' s evenings at home were well warranted. Not everyone, he thought angrily, was subject to the constant chatter of two radios. Even now. babbling as loud as ever, were the inevitable platitudes of some honey-voiced announcer explain- ing why McDowell ' s Soups are the soups enjoyed by the world and the soup that refreshes, without a let down. Junk! thought Mr. Pinkham vindictively; he always derived much complacency from deriding radio announcers. From the radio next door came the softer but still distinctly audible sounds of Rudy Reynolds and his Rhythmic Rhythm Rascals. playing their swingiest swing tune. No, sir! I ' m not going to stand much more of this! resolved Mr. Pinkham, re- turning again to his Daily Express. Something ' s got to be done. The walls of the duplex, occupied by the Pinkhams and the Frieds on Meadowdock Avenue, were extremely thin. Everything could be heard that was going on next door, including the numerous family brawls, whenever anyone went upstairs, when- ever anyone went downstairs, when the phone rang, and last, but by no means least. when the radio was on. The walls were also the source of great temptation for both families. Mrs. Pinkham, for instance, although quite proper and conservative in her public actions, when alone was subject to unseen, involuntary forces which would draw her to the wall, to find out what was the quarrel next door. Little Donald Pink- ham, age eleven, had a secret code with little Billy Fried next door which consisted of knocks on the wall. Three knocks, two kicks meant Come on out! , two kicks, I rant. five knocks. Be right out, and one knock. Hello. In spite of frequent admoni- tions rendered by Mr. Pinkham, rare moments of tranquility were often interrupted by severe thumps on the wall, which hit as suddenly as an earthquake. Then there were moments such as the present when the wall fostered a strong urge in Mr. Pinkham to pound on it himself and tell those neighbors to turn down that radio. Mr. Pinkham had a certain cherubic roly-polyness characteristic of many middle- aged men. He was partly bald with a little fringe of hair around the back of his head, and he wore glasses. His chief indoor sport was worrying about the two radios, which were by a coincidence of fate always playing at the same time. It was not that Mr. Pinkham didn ' t like music. Let ' s see; he liked The Bee and . . . well . . . that ' s about all; and he liked the radio, too, especially the police reports; but he couldn ' t see the sense, as he repeatedly told his family, of having one when you could listen to the one next door. And so it was that Mr- Pinkham decided to sell his radio. In so far as Mrs. Pinkham was concerned, her mind dwelt in the past. If you had oniy listened to me twenty years ago, she said apathetically, we wouldn ' t have to live in a duplex. Well, it was all settled : Mr. Pinkham was to sell the radio and put a good one over on John Fried. He chuckled to himself. After he sold the radio for a tidy sum. he chuckled more. That night after dinner, he sat down in his easy chair; self-sat isfac- liun was written all over his face. Well, he thought to himself. I sure put one over. Ha! Ha! and then settled back to await the inevitable next door. Yes. there it was. Oh, ho! This was good. He could hear it just as if it were in his own house. Just then a loud blast from upstairs interrupted and continued with strong velocity. ' Mabel. Mabel, what ' s that? It sounds like another radio! Now. John, there ' s no use getting all fussed up about nothing. David ' s just fixing up a short wave set with the boy next door . . . and you ' re not going to stop him. Id ' s not his fault that he has to live in a house where every sound can be beard. If you bad only listened to me twenty years ago. we. . . . All right, all right. sighed Mr. Pinkham, I won ' t stop him. and with that, be grabbed up his hat, slammed the door, and stepped out Into the night. As he walked down the street, he found that be couldn ' t escape, for from every second house on the street there issued forth the usual radio programs. Why ain ' t that John Pinkham we just passed? said Mrs. Daniels to daughter. Sarah. Gosh! Never knew he talked to himself. Poor Mrs. Pinkham. What did he say, Sarah? Hub? What this country needs — is less— radios— noise. Strange thing for a man to sav — strange man. John Pinkham — strange man. KI.KANOR LINKS. BIO one hundred seventy-six Radii© amid ttlhe AnmateiuLir Organization Essay Contest — First Prize — Forum In a hundred corners of the earth, the sound and fury of the air waves are aud- ible to the ears of countless listeners. Bound as surely and swiftly as thought, the spoken word or the note of code travels in all directions to a thousand tiriy strands of wire to the ears of innumerable listeners. Unperceived by the average person, their voices are rarely noticed by most listeners: but the radio voices of all the nations and countries speak and are heard each day in every land. These are the voices of the amateurs. Forty thousand in this country, over 60,- 000 in the whole world, scarcely one country is without them. The low murmur of an African amateur is heard and re-echoed by a hundred American hams . Australia, Europe, Japan. China, South America — as personal as the spoken word. their fa- miliar call of CQ, the general call for amateurs, is sent, received, answered, a true clasping of hands over land and across oceans. Theirs is a genuine pleasure in the use of radio as a means of friendly communication. Theirs is the full realization of radio as a n agent of good will, the messenger of world friendship and international brotherhood. Today the amateurs of the world have reached a point in the development of their hobby where radio actually is an agent of good will. Their apparatus is very much perfected as compared to the state of its development in recent years. A con- tact with a fellow amateur in Australia, for example, is no accomplishment on the part of the operator. Australian contacts are common, and it is quite possible to carry on a long and enjoyable conversation with nearly any Australian amateur contacted. Contacts with Japan, China, the Philippine Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Java or Borneo — all these are not only in the nature of mere contacts with these places, but are vital, actual conversations with the operators at the other end if both the operators are inclined to chew the rag. Perhaps more important than mere conversation is the tremendous service that amateurs all over the world afford, sending and receiving messages free of any charge or obligation to any place in the world. An example of this service is a message which 1 once handled. It originated in China, was sent the same morning to the Philippine Islands, from there to me. where it was mailed air-mail, rather than hold it in the station waiting for a station in the particular city it was addressed to. Thus it went from China to the Philippine Islands to California in less than an hour, and arrived at its destination in one and one half days from the moment of its origination. The amateur today is proving himself to be a truly valuable asset to any com- munity. Because of the extreme flexibility of his equipment, messages of great im- portance in emergency operations are nearly all handled by amateur operators operat- ing right in the stricken areas, .giving first hand information to agencies directing relief work. In the flood in 1936 which struck the lower Ohio river and other Eastern rivers around Jamestown. Hartford, and other well known towns in the East, amateurs were the only means of communication. All commercial radio was completely crippled, all telephone lines were down, and the amateur with low power, portable equipment provided the only path for communications. They directed means of approach to stricken towns, ordered bandages and other necessities for the Red Cross. They handled thousands of messages for grief-stricken relatives of people who lived in the flood areas. The story of the amateurs ' part in the last flood is yet to be written. They kept lines of communication open to all areas, and relayed messages to the few commercial stations that were able to operate. These stations then relayed the messages up and down the entire Mississippi and Ohio va lleys, and were invaluable in solving the flood relief problems. The greatest part of the amateurs ' accomplishments is as yet untold, however, and it will be several weeks more before the details of heroism and valuable service will be completely told. Today, in an era of strife and unrest, the amateurs of the world speak to each other a common language. Radio provides the mechanical means to the end — the amateurs ' interest in radio supplies the common ground and interest which binds 60,000 people together with a never-failing interest and enthusiasm. Japanese and Chinese. Italians and Russians. Germans and French — all these are fellow-hams. Each and every one feels a sympathy and compatibility with the amateurs of every nation. Internationality. service to each other and the community, and the pure enjoyment that comes from following a pursuit thoroughly enjoyed — these things are the key- note of all amateur radio. Here the true spirit and value of a good thing is captured. Radio is once more the herald of a great advance, a step towards the goal of all men; peace on earth, good will towards men. ' JOHN RUBEL, B12 one hundred seventy-l Blink the Lantern Upper Division Short Story — First Prize To Lloyd ' s ears, the monotonous tick, tock of the clock echoed resoundingly throughout the cabin. Its hands indicated four-thirty. Where in the dickens was Don? He should have returned by noon. Lloyd gazed pensively out of the window at the driving blizzard; it was pretty thick. He could hardly see the nearest mine buildings. A whistling wind blew a gale down the canyon and drove the stinging white particles to beat a tattoo against the window. When would that infernal clock stop? Didn ' t it ever run down? To an outdoorsman. it was torture to lie in bed so long. He could close his eyes and recite the place of each knot in the ceiling, how many boards there were on each wall, or the size and position of every log in the pile in front of the stove. If he hadn ' t been so pig-headed, but had waited for Don as he should have, he wouldn ' t be laid up in bed; and Don wouldn ' t be battling a howling gale, risking his life to save his part- ner. He recalled his willfulness with growing irritation. He remembered how he had attempted the daily mine inspection alone, how the supporting beam had fallen, creating ugly wounds in his legs, how the earth that covered him had been oozing with water. However, it was late that afternoon before they had noticed the threatening red streaks, radiating from the wound. Don had pulled Lloyd ' s bed near the stove and the woodpile, and stacked food and water beside the short wave radio on the table within reach. He had said he would be back soon. He would snowshoe to Twin Forks, get a plane with skis, and fly back with a doctor. Lloyd thought to himself, at least he was taking it like a man. He had paid for his negligence with the dragging hours spent listening for the plane. It was punish- ment enough for two days to have nothing to look at but the too-familiar cabin, noth- ing to listen to but an alarm clock, and enduring a pair of legs that grew increasingly painful. With a painful effort. Lloyd sat upright and assembled his supper from the remaining supplies. He noticed that the clock had finally stopped; that was a relief. He lay back in bed for some time until, suddenly, his body became rigid; and he listened intensely. There was a faint hum. It grew gradually louder. It was an airplane all right. Landing in the dark would be a hard job. Lloyd placed the lighted lantern in the window. Looking toward the range, he could see the tiny lights moving to- ward him. He watched them eagerly, moving nearer until they were almost above him. Why didn ' t Don slow down? Couldn ' t he see the mine? Then he remembered. Perhaps that was the mail plane that Don listened to every night. He ' d soon find out. He switched on the radio; presently the pilot ' s voice filled the cabin. It was the mail plane then. Disappointed, he moved to turn it off. No, he guessed he ' d leave it on; any voice would ease the loneliness. Turning the dial, he wondered why Don hadn ' t gotten a radio with a broadcast band. Short wave was no good to him. The set picked up a voice. Can you hear me, can you hear me? If you can, blink the lantern. The voice continued, Lloyd, Lloyd, this is Don. If you hear me. blink the lantern. ' ' Lloyd sat up excitedly, disregarding the pain. That surely was Don; he recognized the voice. He reached for the lantern, turning the wick up and down several times. At last I ' ve gotten in touch with you. We ' re on Bitterroot Mountain across the canyon. We cracked this afternoon during the blizzard. I ' m using the radio in the plane. The ' Doc ' is here, but we can ' t reach you until daylight. We ' d break our necks de- scending this mountain in the dark — you know how rocky it is. full of snowdrifts, and we ' ve only one pair of snowshoes. The ' Doc ' is pretty worried over your condition. He ' s given me some directions to give you. If you understand, blink the lantern. While Don spoke, Lloyd recorded the instructions mentally, then reached over and manipulated the wick. Glancing around, he found everything he needed within reach . Everything but towels; they were across the room. He inched along on the Chair toward the dresser. The excruciating pain was indescribable. Several times, he was tempted to give up; but Don ' s faith in him drove him on. He couldn ' t let his pal down. For many hours, he replaced the steaming towels on his swollen legs. Despite their soothing effect, the poison was creeping steadily upward. He wondered if he could hold out until Don reached him. The night was almost spent when the door burst open and two snow-covered figures rush in. i continued on page IS:!) om iiuinii i i ti venty-t Ight A •■ L wmm Courtesy of the National Broadcasting Company TIhe Eye of Fashion The iconoscope and swinging microphones flash on the ether waves the living beauty of life and the mystic voice of the distance to bring us sight and sound through the greatest of all mediums, television.

Young man, it took a lot of real courage to get those towels and fix yourself up; but I guess you didn ' t know that movement of the body quickens the flow of poison to the heart.

Paradise it was when it came to earthly visions of the place. But the little wrinkled woman lying there was far from thinking it a paradise. Possibly that was because she had been so near the real one for such a long time. Serious illness had stricken her recently; and for a while, her life had been despaired of; hut now she was better. She looked around for the nurse who had been with her constantly for weeks. But the nurse was downstairs. With a shrug, Mrs. Aldington turned to go to sleep again. Then her eyes fastened on the creamy white radio by her bedside. She reached over and clicked it on. As it warmed up. music blared. She shook her white head. Swing music. That ' s all people were talking about these days. It was artificial, or that was what it seemed to her. She would try to get a slow waltz on. Just then a harsh voice cut from the radio. This is Johnny Douglas bringing the latest news in the world of strife and sport. The strike situation is unchanged — Mrs. Aldington sighed and took her hand from the dial. She must keep up with news. Being ill must not keep her away from the world. The voice went on. It looks as though the strikers might arrive at a decision tomorrow; however • . .

RAMONA STEWART, All Radio Organization Essay Contest — Third Prize — Philomathian I am ill, and the days and nights are as one infinite pain. But there is joy and laughter in my life. Radio brings it to me. Sweet music rests my tumultuous soul, and news brings hope to my frantic thoughts. A love has been born in me for those who share their laughter, a love I did not know could exist within a tortured body. Gratitude accompanies my love. Could those whose voices stir such emotions in me know of my gratitude? Could those nimble delicate hands that fondle instruments of happiness realize my humble adoration? Although I cannot tell them, I feel they must under- stand, for does not each dawn bring a ray of hope with every ray of sunshine? Every twist of the dial, is it not a twist of fate for me? Will miracles never cease? Can the next great realization of some dreamy eyed genius compare with the actuality of radio? Those souls who have reached the dura- tion of their time on earth and are laid at rest ' neath grassy hillocks would stare and stammer in dumb unbelief to hear a voice and know of a thousand endless miles be- tween. Yet, it is reality. If more realities are going to be brought forth to astound the world, let me not know of their presence nor let them be bathed in the glow of my admiration, for I am content. BARBARA LEIPSIC. All one hundredeighty-three Eo]ieirgeini©y Operator Organization Bhort Story Contest — Tied for First Prize — Philomathian The white light ahove the wireless table made a sharply silhouetted circle around the bent head of the tired operator. Within the cabin, the heavy silence was broken by the intermittent click-click of the wireless. S-O-S! S-O-S! The tired hands rapped out the emergency call. There was no reply. Oh, why don ' t they answer? the operator groaned aloud, and was startled by his own voice in the oppressive quiet. He raised his head, and as the light struck him full in the eyes, the young face gleamed pale and set. Tears started into his eyes; and dropping his head upon his folded hands, he prayed in a broken voice. God, oh, God, if you are there, don ' t let him die. Please don ' t let him die. The tall, stern officer, who had silently entered the cabin, laid his hand on the boy ' s shoulder. Come, Jack, you mustn ' t act like this, he growled brusquely, too brusquely, for the mistiness of his own eyes; for the tender smile on the hard lips belied his words. But the darkness hid that. The boy jumped guiltily and dashed the tears from his eyes. Sorry, sir, I didn ' t know you were there. Tell me, how is he? Pretty bad, I ' m afraid, son. Dr. Morris says it ' s spinal meningitis for sure. Unless you are able to get the coast guard, I ' m afraid Ted will not have much chance. I ' ll do my best, sir, the boy answered, resolutely picking up the wireless. And Jack — Yes sir ? Mr. Burns died an hour ago. You ' ll have to take entire charge of the wireless. There ' s no one else to do it, his voice quivered. Thank God, lad, you were interested enough to learn it! Jack wearily turned to his seemingly fruitless task, and again the S-O-S went forth. But his hands were mechanical, his unseeing eyes far away. Last night! Everybody had been so happy! Ted ' s promotion had filled the mess hall with gaiety. Into this carefree atmosphere, the captain had stalked with his face grave and his manner tragic. He ' d spoken to Marshall, the senior in charge, and watched the boy ' s handsome, laughing face suddenly sober. Fellows, Marshall had shouted, pounding on the table with his knife to gain their attention. . Fellows, he ' d said again, and cleared his throat. Mr. Burns, our wireless operator, has spinal meningitis, and may not last through the night. Can anyone here operate the S-O-S? I can, sir, Jack had answered. I ' ve been taking lessons, and — why Ted! Ted had started from his chair at the words spinal meningitis ; and as Jack finished speaking, his face became chalk-white. Without a sound, he crumpled to the floor. The frightened cadets had carried him to his hammock. Jack had seen no one since, having been at the wireless for a day and night; but he had heard two of the officers conversing as they passed the door. I ' m afraid that Hopkins boy is in a bad way, Jim, one said gravely. Yes sir, he is, the younger officer had replied. Ted! They were talking about Ted! His very best friend! Spinal meningitis! Now with a feverish burst of energy, Jack attacked the wireless with renewed vigor. S-O-S! S-O-S! KLMC calling CGO! CGO was the coast guard. No answer! A cold sweat broke upon the brow of the overwrought boy. With a hasty gesture, he flung down the instrument and walked to the port hole, hoping to gain solace from the limitless expanse of sea and sky. Only a white blanket met his eyes. Where was the sea, the sky? In two strides, he had crossed the tiny cabin, and flung open the door. Fog — thick, enveloping fog that took one ' s breath away! Even if the coast guard did get the message, they ' d never find the ship in this fog! Cold, clammy, sticky fog that seemed to laugh at man ' s puny efforts to withstand it. Hateful fog that seemed to whisper, It won ' t be long now! Jack slammed the door, and leaned against it, trembling. Black despair over- whelmed him. He staggered to the table, and laid his head on his folded arms. Nothing mattered now; Ted would die; maybe he ' d die too. Death might be a pleasant change. Wasn ' t death like sleep? Didn ' t you just drift— drift— drift — ? KLMC! KLMC did you send S-O-S? This is CGO. one hundred eighty-four With a mighty effort, Jack wrenched himself from the threatening unconscious- ness. The wireless! He was answered! Frantically he grabbed the instrument. KLMC answering ICGO- Spinal meningitis epidemic. One man dead; others stricken. Need serum and doctors immediately. Understand — ? Yes. Give position — -Leave as soon as pos sible— Jack gave the ship ' s position as best he could, then picked up an instruction book and endeavored to read it. The wireless clicked, and Jack jumped guiltily. KLMC! KLMC! CGO — go ahead. Fog too heavy to leave shore — Must wait until morning. Doctors and serum ready — Will leave at dawn. Please advise. Leave as soon as possible — Jack tapped back. Good work, kid — Stand by! CGO signing off. Jack wondered how he knew Mr. Burns wasn ' t operating the wireless, but that wasn ' t important. The night dragged on, and Jack slept fitfully in his chair. Dawn came, gray and forbidding. The coast guard left at daybreak. KLMC! KLMC! KLMC standing by — Fog excessive — Give position — Jack gave the approximate position, and repeated it every ten minutes for the next six hours- Six hours! And Ted lying in their cabin fighting for life! Two more cadets had been stricken. Panic was spreading through the ship like wild fire. The coast guard boat pushed through the blanket of fog, nearing the infected ship, but not seeing it. The fog prevented that. Suddenly, a dark shape loomed up; and with a shout, the pilot wrenched the wheel; and the boat turned sharply, just grazing its side. Ship ahoy! Hello, is that the coast guard? Yes, lower the ladder. In the wireless room, Jack heard the commotion; but his abused, exhausted body refused to answer his command for motion. He was awakened by a light touch on his shoulder. He opened his sleep-blurred eyes, and a dim shape took form before him. As his vision became clearer, he saw the captain standing there. Then he realized the awful ghost that had been haunting him for two days and nights. Tell me, sir, will he live? What did the doctor say? He said that Ted has had a very narrow escape. He may never walk again, but — he ' ll live. Thank God, Jack murmured, and his head fell again to his forearms over the wireless which had saved Ted ' s life. Outside, the cadet on sentry duty paced the deck. His call penetrated Jack ' s consciousness before he sank into slumber once more. Eight bells! All is well!

But I ' m a full-blooded Healthy young modern And I like the radio! Am I insane? ELIZABETH SHURTZ, All one hundred eighty-five What Radio M©ae§ to Me In the dim recollection of my past, I seem to recall the first time I saw and heard a radio. I was about four years old at the time and as replete with curiosity as any other extremely Inquisitive child. Whenever an opportunity presented itself to me, when nobody was in the room, I dashed up to the newcomer in our house, and Be- gan to fiddle with the grooved knobs which protruded from its sides. Many times, a thunderous blast issued forth with startling intensity; and I became so timorous that I would not even design to approach this strange creature. Gradually, I began to know just what the radio meant, what it could do, what it did do, and finally what I got out Of il. Today, as I sit here and contemplate what radio means to me, I see that it is for me what a public utility is to a city of people, a necessity to many people for whom it serves as the chief means of communication with the outside world. In addition, I see that the possibilities for education through radio reach gigantic proportions. Radio means that I need not bother looking at a fine maze of print in a newspaper to find that the war scare was a sham, or that President Roosevelt emphasized his court plan in his last speech. I need only to turn a dial and a concise, but to the point, commentator, such as Edwin C. Hill, informs me of the human side of the news It means that after reading about the masters of music or literature, I ma y turn on the radio and listen to the Chicago or the New York Symphony playing Beethoven ' s immortal works, or that I may listen and revel in the romance of the lives of such men as Byron, Stevenson, Poe, and a host of others. Through the radio, I may turn to other fields such as entertainment. Here. I may have brought to my workroom the finest in entertainment, the greatest of people from all walks of life, through the greatest means of communication yet devised by man. Here also may I obtain the latest findings in medicine and science, the most recent discoveries in regard to health, or the latest endeavors in the field of economics, so that my reading on these subjects later will be enhanced manyfold. My faith in radio is so deeply implanted as to reduce to a minimum all worries that I might have in traveling on the high seas or in the air. This faith has only been made possible by the many trusting persons who have ventured on the seas and airways protected by the directional beam, now practically an instrument of perfection. In still another way, radio fascinates me by one of its most stupendous accomplish- ments. That is, the potentiality of radio to go completely around the world and re- turn to one ' s radio at home in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. Imagine, a voice coming from the other side of the globe through the ether and finally, transmitted through that minute wonder box, into one ' s own presence. One can but marvel at the seemingly incredible apparatus which makes the magic voice of radio a real- ity. Nevertheless, radio also means to me, as Merrill Denison has said, A profit-making enterprise whose first demand is to pay its way, an instrument whose virtues are the outcome of competition, its vices the outcome of mass-production methods such competition has evolved. It means, to quote the Aircaster. that all radio programs have two points in common: one, the lack of originality, the other, the banality of commercial announcements, since radio is at a point where it is possible to claim anything, deny everything, and prove nothing. Many will advance the argument that radio means to them merely an endless kaleidoscopic clamor of jazz, crime, and propaganda. However, radio contributes its part to every branch of human endeavor. Every component part of our present day culture and civilization is being broadened and made available to mankind with such ease and celerity as has never been witnessed before. In the political, economic, and social fields, the daily discussion of problems affecting mankind makes the community conscious of literature and education, radio ranks first in dessemination of knowledge to vast millions of people who otherwise might not have the opportunity for any learn- ing. In the field of entertainment and music, it supplies a vital need to millions of people, lighting their path of life and giving them an opportunity to use their leisure time to best advantage. In aviation and navigation, it has become a vital part in the promotion of their development and in saving countless lives. In short, the entire Fabric of human endeavor has become, with the advent of radio, instead of being a luxury common property of all mankind. ALFRED COODLEY. A12 one hundred eighty-six Radii© 9 § Cootrnbetioe to Cmilter© Radio has given to the people of the United States a new cultural world. It has contributed, beyond measure, to the education, the music, and consequently, the happiness, of millions of people. A few years ago, the mere novelty of it held listeners spellbound. Today, the radio must give us somethin g worth while, or we do not listen. We have had a taste of what radio can give us, knowledge, wonderful music for everyone; and we want more. Through radio, famous educators can be brought into the classroom. Of course, radio could probably never take the place of the school because there would be no personal contact between the teacher and the pupil. However, it is a valuable sup- plement to the school in that it has the power to be more interesting than dry text books. Radio can present educational material to the general public and hold its in- terest at the same time. Thus, the average person is kept well informed on all subjects. Today, through radio, we have contact with the world at our fingertips. We hear broadcasts from England, France, Germany, Japan, China- This should be a great factor in the future peace of the world, for our attitude toward other countries is so much more friendly after we have heard their music, their language, and their thoughts. As to the thoughts of our nation, how many different views there are on every subject. Here, in public opinion, radio plays a leading role. Our radio stations are privately owned, but not in the same sense as a newspaper is privately owned. The editor of a printed publication is under no obligation to open his columns to all sides of an issue. The owner of a radio station must give time on his broadcasts to every side under the same conditions. In this way. the general public can hear all existing views and make up its mind as to which are the best. This condition is particularly conducive to clear thought in the matter of voting. Previous to the time of radio, the only way to hear a candidate for public office was to attend public meetings. The foundation of those stirring, mob-rousing political speeches lay in the many tricks used by the speaker. But radio is a good check on insincere seekers of political offices. The American citizen is far more critical when he is at home and not influenced by what others think- Neither is he apt to jump at con- clusions, as he might, were he attending a mass meeting. The radio listener has a wonderful opportunity to discover the true personality and true value of a politician. Therefore, radio requires a new kind of statesman, one who thinks, talks, and acts with simplicity and sincerity. Radio educates us and keeps us abreast of the times; it has also contributed to our religious education. The large networks present highly esteemed religious leaders from all of the most prominent denominations. These programs are non-sectarian in their appeal and though not a complete substitute for the church, they are most helpful to anyone listening. Radio adds to our culture something of equal importance to knowledge, music. It has enriched our daily life with the charm of beautiful melodies. Some of so-called popular music is a disgrace to radio, shallow and noisy, detracting from our culture rather than contributing to it! Some popular music is wholesome entertainment, worth your listening at the moment, but giving nothing that lasts. A popular selection can become old and tiresome within three months- When is fine music old? Never. It is deep and real; it paints a spiritual picture for us that could never be equalled on a canvas. The privilege of enjoying such wonderful music formerly belonged to those only who lived near great cultural centers, and who had the price of a seat at the concert or opera. At that time, there lived, on farms, in mining camps, small villages and other out of the way places, people to whom Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert were merely a faint memory of some past school lesson. Then, as if by magic, the radio came, to open a vibrant, colorful, glorious, musical world to those people. The fact that during past years the average person has been hungering for fine music, is made manifest by the increasing popularity of classical music. The sincerity of the public cannot be doubted, for radio offers no inducement to listen, other than the soul-satisfying beauty of compositions by the great master composers. We listen, are enraptured, and ask for more! So radio has brought a new world of culture into our lives- Through it, we have come to know better and to enjoy more the world in which we live. Technical know- ledge, news of the day, religion, music, radio brings them all, with but the slightest effort on our part. The radio helps us to live and think correctly, and enriches our lives with beautiful, uplifting music. Thus, radio makes its contribution to our culture.

A., Fullerton, and Taft was greeted by a warm afternoon accompanied by a wind blowing down the straight away. This, the first track meet of the season, proved to be a trial day for the team. It was found that L. A. once again had the usual high powered group to uphold L. A. ' s traditional strength. The outstanding performances of the afternoon were Norm Kahn ' s broad jump of 22 feet, 9 1-2 inches, and Ted Mac Conaghy ' s vault of 12 feet. 7 1-2 inches which broke the school record. Russell, Clark, and Davis began the season in their usual fine style leading the field in their respective dashes, while Bob Downey copped the high barrier event and Stone the lows.

The only outstand- ing events were turned in by Johnny Butler, who ran the mile in 4:39.3 seconds, and Harry Davis, who made the 880 in 2:03.8 seconds.

Coaches Graves, La Brucherie, Chambers, and Brown were practically with- out a weak event because of the five returning lettermen and the reinforcements from last year ' s Cee squad. In the sprints, L. A. was ably represented by Actor, Parks, Smith, Robinson, and Greenberg. Parker and Morhar assured success in the 660 for the light- weights; and Pinz, Clark, Santori, and Vedder took care of the 1320 for L. A. The hurdlers were plentiful, so the results were somewhat brighter than those of last year ' s squad. Tucker, Claude, Cole, Robinson, Gross, Bailey, and Herring were the mainstays. In the field events, L. A. had two outstanding athletes, Schwartz in the shot and Edgerton in the pole vault. Helping Schwartz were Sato, and Eguchi. In the high jump were Chan.

Class C Track Our class Cee track team, although lacking in material at the start of the season, improved steadily and finally developed into a representative group. Three main stays held the team in stride by their usual brilliant performance. Sekino shone in the 50-yard dash and broad jump: Kadowaki, in the 660 and low hurdles; and Williams, also in the latter events. In the 50-yard dash, Sekino, Yamomoto, and Wolff competed; Wolff and Fink ran the 100-yard; Kadowaki, Williams, Eastland, and Thompson took care of the 660; the low hurdles were run by Williams. Rose, Kadowaki, and Waldman, while Maggio, Wolff. Fink, and Fukuyama ran the relay. Yamomoto and Rosen were this term ' s Cee shot men; the broad jump positions were filled by Sekino and Williams; Pease and Oechslie competed in the Cee high jump; and Vodra and MacConaghy filled the pole vault positions.

Varsity Baseball LOS ANGELES vs. VENICE After maintaining an almost perfect practice season record by winning nine out of eleven games, the L. A. Romans traveled to Venice for their first league encounter. where they met defeat at the hands of the Beach nine by the score of 3-0. Bill Marshall. who was on the mound for the Pioneers, pitched excellently, allowing but a few hits; however, the Gondoliers took advantage of them to bring in their runs. L. A. per- formed well on defense, but seemed weak on the offensive, earning only three hits from the Venice pitcher. Over-confidence also hindered the Romans. Outstanding play- ers of this fray were George Kobo, who proved himself the sparkplug of the Roman defense and also gathered hitting honors with two hits. Others were Tom Mills, stellar outfielder, Dick Sandahl, and Bill Marshall, who composed the battery. LOS ANGELES vs. FAIRFAX Showing up better in many ways, the L. A. baseball team came out victorious in its second league encounter with Fairfax and won by one run in the final inning of the game. The winning tally came as a result of hits by Dick Sandahl and George Kobo with a sacrifice by Joyce. The game was close throughout with the Romans leading until the last inning when the Colonials tied the score; but the Blue and White forged ahead in its time at bat with a lone run. The starting pitcher for L. A. was Jess Faris, who was later replaced by Bill Mar- shall. The Romans were much improved in their batting; this was proved by the number of hits. George Kobo again took batting honors with three safe hits out of four times at bat. The remainder of the team received an average of one hit apiece. The pronounced batting strength was the highlight of the contest. LOS ANGELES vs. HAMILTON Alternating between defeat and victory, the Romans suffered a loss at the hands of the Hamilton nine in their third match of the season, losing 4-2. L. A. fell down in the fourth stanza and allowed the Yankees to score four runs and practically conceded them a win. A walk, three errors, and a hit in a crucial moment brought in the winning till IPS Bill Marshall started for the Pioneers and was replaced by Jess Faris in the fourth inning, who retired the side. Again the L. A. men lacked the punch to bring victory out of defeat by good bitting. Two or three good breaks at the crisis would have changed the story entirely. As it was, the Romans ' hits were scattered and resulted in few runs. The outstanding feature of the game was a home run in the final inning by Mike Hollander. Kobo received two hits out of three times at bat; Fields, two out ni tour; and Faris. one out of four. Tommy Mill i rurs a high rfrtvtf. Kobo digs up the dirt for a tally. LOS ANGELES vs. VENICE Avenging themselves of defeat, L. A. came out on the long end of a 13-7 score at the expense of the Venice diamond men. Johnny Novakovich started on the mound for the Romans but met with difficulties in the second inning; he was replaced by Jess Faris, who held the Gondoliers for the remainder of the contest. The Pioneers com- menced their bombardment in the second inning by scoring five runs. L. A. ' s hitting was finally up to par, and the boys took hold of themselves and ran up a tremendous score. Dick Sandahl was the stellar performer of the fracas, clouting out three doubles. He was closely followed by Tom Mills, who drove out two doubles and a single. Bill Marshall, George Kobo, Bob Nibley, Kirk Sinclair, and Mike Hollander, each received one hit apiece. LOS ANGELES vs. HAMILTON Running true to form, L. A. again alternated with defeat to lose to a weak Hamilton squad by the score of 5-3. Given every chance in the world to bring in winning runs, the Romans lacked the old fire to come through in a pinch. The contest was marked by many errors on the part of the Pioneers. Bill Marshall again started on the mound and was again substituted for by Jess Faris. This game seems to be a jinx with the Romans because they have lost four games out of four with the Yankees in the past two years. Although the Hamilton nine gained only six hits in the entire contest, they capitalized on bad playing of the Pioneers to score five runs in the fourth inning on five errors made by L. A. Tom Mills was the outstanding player of this match with his air tight fielding and fine hitting. He drove in all the Roman tallies. Dick Sandahl, however, took batting honors with three hits out of three times at bat. Marshall and Kobo each received one hit. LOS ANGELES vs. FAIRFAX Going into the last half of the season, L. A. again defeated the Fairfax nine on the Colonial field by the score of 9-1. During the first four innings, there was no scoring for either side; but in the fifth, the Romans scored eight runs on seven hits. Johnny Novakovich created a precedent by being the first pitcher to last the whole game this year. He allowed only three scattered hits in the entire match. L. A. gathered eleven hits which were fairly evenly divided among the team. Tom Mills won hitting honors with three singles out of four times at bat. He was followed by Bill Marshall, who garnered two out of four. Jess Faris, George Kobo, Johnny Nova- kovich, Dick Sandahl, and Tom Joyce each scored a safe clout. LOS ANGELES vs. UNIVERSITY L. A. suffered a heart-breaking defeat at the hands of a strong University nine, 6-5. During the first five innings, it was nip and tuck with neither side gaining advantage over the other. Johnny Novakovich was the starting pitcher and the score was largely due to his excellent hurling. In the sixth inning. Rome lost her only chance for a championship when a University man clouted out a home run with one man on base to give the Warriors a one run lead. L. A. was the leader during the first five stanzas until the boys relinquished it in the sixth. The Romans gained their tallies in the first and fourth innings. Dick Sandahl bagged a triple and two singles to cop the hitting Johnny gets set to burn one over. Marshall takes a healthy cut at the ball. honors. Marshall also drove out a three-bagger and a single while Tom Mills garnered two hits. Jess Faris one, and Johnny Novakovich one. LOS ANGELES vs. HOLLYWOOD Coming back after a hard-fought battle with the Warriors. L. A. trampled the Hollywood baseballers by a score of 12-0. The Romans took advantage of errors to bring in seven runs with the aid of four hits. After this score in the first inning, the Pioneers waited until the sixth before opening up again to tally five more runs. Faris who lasted the whole route, played an excellent game, allowing only two hits in the entire fray. This was the outstanding pitching of the season done by any Roman liurler. The Pioneers gathered in eleven hits. Tom Mills again copped high batting honors by getting three hits out of four. Dick Sandahl, Kirk Sinclair, and Tommy Joyce hit safe two times out of four while Lloyd Mills and Jess Faris each got one out of four. LOS ANGELES vs. UNIVERSITY Playing host to the University diamond men, L. A. copped a close victory over the Warriors in a breath-taking game by the score of 7-6. This win over the league leaders gave the Romans the inside track to second place. The highlight of this game was a home run by George Kobo with Dan Kelley on base. This circuit clout was the only one of its kind on Housh field this year during the regular season. After trailing 6-2 in the last inning, the Romans came back with glory to score five runs and take the lead. The rally was started by a single to center by George Kobo, followed by another single by Marshall. At this point. Tom Mills was hit by a pitched ball, he walked to first, and the bases were filled. Kobo scored on a hard safe hit by Sandahl. Lloyd Mills brought in another two with his hit while Novakovich sacri- ficed and got on base on an error. L. A. wound up its scoring spree with a well executed squeeze play. The Romans scored five runs on five hits. George Kobo took batting honors with three hits out of four times at bat while Faris got two safe clouts. Bill ' Marshall. Lloyd Mills. Dick Sandahl, and Tommy Joyce each garnered one. LOS ANGELES vs. HOLLYWOOD Tying for second place in the league standings, Rome finished its 1937 campaign with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of a rejuvenated Hollywood nine on the Sheik ' s field. L. A. ended its season the same way it started, namely by a flagrant lack of good hitting, gathering only two hits. The Sheiks received only two hits also, but scored on a squeeze play and an error in the sixth inning. This game was a pitchers ' duel throughout, and the entire team from Rome was baffled by the Hollywood hurler: this somewhat accounts for the fact that he struck out eleven batters. This was the final game for Dick Sandahl. Bill Marshall. George Kobo. Dan Kelley. Tommy Joyce. John Barr. Tom Mills, and Lloyd Mills. Jess Faris, Mike Hollander. Bob Nibley, Johnny Novakovich. and Kirk Sinclair all return for another year. All boys on the squad spent a fairly successful and very interesting term. Next year ' s group can profit by this year s mistakes and try to live up to its outstanding performances. Another Roman bitet the dust. Second Team Baseball Tlie second varsity baseball team, made up of boys who were being trained for the regular squad or who did not quite find a place there, was under the instruction of Coach Bert La Brucherie. This team played in a league made up of similar nines, and pulled through with a clean record, winning five matches and suffering no defeats. The champions boasted wins over Lincoln, Hamilton, Fremont, Huntington Park, and Fair- fax. Outstanding in the field and at bat were the two pitchers, Roland Cole and Shig Murakami. Cole was a particularly bright star in the Huntington Park fracas, taking over the reins in the ninth inning with the score 9-5 against him, and pulling a victory out of defeat, 10-9. Other men who stood out as batters were Soyster and Tochioka. The complete roster was as follows: catchers, Ben Danning and Gordon Fair; pitchers. Eugene Berry, Shig Murakami, Roland Cole, and Bob Fainer; first base, Bob Snyder, and Hammond Soyster; second base, Shig Tochioka; third base, Tukeo Koyo- matsu; shortstop, Dick Dillon; and fielders, Bob Brooker, Jack Hinsche, John Broughton, Fred Wallace, Knight Raymond, Bill Dumble, Fred Burdt, and John Lipton.

U ' «s  two hundred seventeen Teeth Grade Baseball Team The tenth grade team, under the instruction of Coach Attillio Parisi, enjoyed a fairly successful season with a record of three victories and two losses. Two or three of the boys showed promise enough to be transferred to the regular and second varsity teams. Captain of the squad was Frank Durable while the outstanding men were Jim Domenico, right fielder, and Fred Iberri, pitcher. The complete roster is as follows: catchers, Bob Clark, Lynn Compton. and Kevork Tashjian ; pitchers, Elmer Hansen, Fred Iberri, John Mclntire, Bob Oliver, and Dick Steck; first base, Jim Maljan and Marshall Paxton; second base, Bill Crenshaw; third base, Jack Fellows; shortstop, captain Frank Durable, and Drew Nibley who moved up later to the varsity; and fielders.

The Romans have been Southern California champions for the past three years; and as this article goes to press, the squad is on its way to another title. Under the able guidance of Coach Elmer Crumly, the L. A. racquet squad is recognized as great, not only in Southern California but throughout the United States. This year ' s champions were Bob Laun and Bob Rogers, who won the Ojai state doubles match. L. A. has placed in the finals for the fortieth consecutive time. Welby Van Horn, who became the sensational player of Southern California, was lost to the team this year due to illness. Robert Stanford played notably in singles as did Mac Perry. Martin Levinson in the under 15 years division made a great name for himself in several invitational tournaments. Gordon Nelson and Bob Rogers also played singles. The doubles combinations of Bob Bachelis, Charles Hutchison and George Kor- sen, Ray Rosecrans proved to be a deciding factor in L. A. High ' s victories. Tex In- wood, Bob Swanson, and Bob Laun were other team members; Sid Sussman was the manager.

Mr. Hemsath, the gym team ' s coach, set the required number of points for a letter at 15. The object of gymnastics is the performance of a series of difficult movements on the different apparatus in smooth rhythm. These movements improve and develop the co-ordination of the athlete ' s muscles. The individual standings are as follows: Mark Jelmeland, all-around, horizontal bar, parallel bars, side horse, long horse — points, 61 1-2; Bruce Ressiguie, rope climb, parallel bars, free exercise, long horse — points, 49 ; Bill Oxley, horizontal bar, parallel bars, rings — points, 41; Dave Edelson, rope climb, rings — points, 23; Irving Bloomberg, free exercise, side horse, long horse — points, 23; Forest Helliwell, side horse — points, 23; Lewis Edelson, rope climb, horizontal bar, rings — points, 17; Fukuyama, clubs — points, 14; Dave Lapidus, clubs — points, 9; Sandstrom, tumbling — points, 7 1-2. L. A. took third place in the Western finals. Mark Jelmeland, Bruce Resseguie, and Forest Helliwell qualified for the City semi-finals. The Western League finals were held at L. A., the City semi-finals at Eagle Rock, and the City finals at Manual Arts.

A. High water polo team came through with the Southern California championship. It was the first time since 1924 that the Romans had won this championship. The hardest game was played against Fullerton, who went down before L- A. with the margin 8-1. The Mudhens had not been defeated for the last six years. This year, our team swamped our opponents Muir Tech., and Compton High who are just starting water polo. Coach Crumly was much pleased with the team which worked very hard in getting teamwork and timing to perfection, especially against our old rival, Fullerton. The two Romans, who were responsible for most of the goals, were Jack Kinney and Perry Lamb, who played at the forward positions. Johnny Siegel and Fred Woiter, flashy water dogs, alternated at the sprint position. Captain Bill Reordan led the defense at center- back, with the excellent help of the two guards, Scott Dudley and Big Ernie Becker. The main leg of the team was well taken care of in fine shape by Glenn Whitaker, who played goalie. Others who helped the team win were Bob McLain, Bob Older, Tom Soriero, Jimmy Smith, Fred Nixon. Jimmy Hokom, Bob Warfield, and Tom Lipman. The scores of the 1937 varsity water polo season were: Meets Scores Los Angeles vs. Whittier 9 — 1 Los Angeles vs. Huntington Beach 8 — 2 Los Angeles vs. Huntington Park 14 — Los Angeles vs. Compton 15 — 1 Los Angeles vs. Fullerton 8 — 1 Los Angeles vs- Inglewood 7 — 1 Los Angeles vs. Muir Tech. 25 — 1 Lett to riyht.

In spite of the fact that its members were inexperienced, the lightweights did very well. The returning lettermen were captain Ed Dawson, Bill Mitchell, Robert Nakasaki, and Winston Woodman. The lightweights did not have as heavy a schedule and were held to closer scores than were the varsity. The Roman lightweights were disappointed by the Fullerton defeat, but compen- sated for it in beating a strong Inglewood team by a close margin. Captain Ed Dawson and Bill Mitchell were L. A. ' s chief scorers; they held down the forward ends very capably. Robert Nakasaki, flash sprinter and letterman. was the mainstay of the team. Hal Thomas played a good defense at centerback; the guards were Gordon French and Paul Sims. The most important position on the team was filled excellently by letterman Winston Woodman, who helped the team finish second in its league. The reserves were Bob Rogers, Stanley Talpis. Fred Doan, Don Sands, Vincent Coif, and John Robinson. The scores of the 19S7 schedule of the lightweight water polo team were: Meets Scores Los Angeles vs. Whittier 8 — 1 Los Angeles vs. Huntington Park 8 — 3 Los Angeles vs. Fullerton 2 — 6 Los Angeles vs. Inglewood 4 — 1 Left to right.

With nine returning lettermen, the team has rounded itself into championship form. An aquatic duel has been fought between Fred Walter and Bob Warfield in the individual medley. Both boys have broken the Southern California record for this distance. Captain Bill Reordan, 440 champion for last year, is still swimming a fine race. The breaststroke races were very capably handled by Scott Dudley, Winston Woodman, and Glenn Whitaker. Dudley set a new school record of 1-12.9 for the 100-yard breast stroke event. The sprint men were Ernie Becker, John Seigel, Bob Warfield, and Fred Wolter. The diving event was strong- ly upheld by Bill Holsborg, Alan Cheesebro, and Ed Dawson- Bill ' s diving was outstand- ing. Bill Larson, Bob Warfield, and Ed Dawson swam the backstroke. The majority of the meets were won by large margins, showing the team ' s strength. The scores for the 1937 varsity swimming schedule were: Meets Scores Los Angeles vs. Huntington Park 72 — 27 Los Angeles vs. Inglewood 53 — 2S Los Angeles vs. S. C.

Captain Robert Nakasaki starred for the team, swimming the fifty-yards free-style, individual medley, a new race for lightweights, and the relays. For the second time, this team has won the coveted Los Angeles High relay cup. Osamu Nakazawa led the backstroke, aided by Fred Doan. Nakazawa also swam a snappy breaststroke. The 220 was taken care of by Don Sands and John Hauerwaas. Jack Coulter earned merit in diving. Some of the other import- ant members were Bruce Porter. Ted Spindler, Fred Rameson. and Dick Reis. Coach Elmer Crumly should have little trouble picking the varsity team for next year from this group of promising swimmers. The scores of the 1937 lightweight swimming schedule were: Meets Scores Los Angeles vs. Inglewood 38 — 37 Los Angeles vs. Beverly 30 — 5 Los Angeles vs. Muir Tech 38 — 33 Los Angeles vs. Wilson 59 — 24 Los Angeles vs. Redondo 4S — 15 Los Angeles vs. Huntington Park 50 — 36 Los Angeles took first place in the Indoor Southern California Meet in December.

With three returning letterraen to holster the front line, the Romans did not fear a lack of experience in their campaign for a championship. Frank Tatum, L. B. Harbour, and Val Montgomery were seasoned men on whom L. A. could always rely to wage a bitter battle. Two members from the last year ' s squad. John Robinson and John Denton, supplied dependability, and along with a newcomer. Bob Glen, made up the necessary balance for a good team. Tryouts were held at Willowick Country Club, Brentwood Country Club, and the Los Angeles Country Club where everyone received a fair trial to make the team. A limit of competitive teams, however, diminished their opportunities for wide recognition. Practice matches with U. C. L. A. Frosh and Beverly High furnished necessary prepara- tion for league contests. Two matches each with University and Hollywood were all the league competition available. A 4 to 1 victory against University proved the spark of confidence for the hoped-for future victories. Thus again golf proved a successful activity at L- A. High.

Johnny has broken all school records, tor he has been a yell leader every term since he has been at L. A.; and for the past four terms he has been chief yell king. Yell leader Andrews and his capable assistants, Dick Zacher and Ned Shaheen, were on hand at all the baseball games and track meets to show our teams that the students in the stands were behind them one hundred per cent. Dick has served his third con- secutive term, being now an upper grader, while this has been Ned ' s first as a repre- sentative of the lower grades. With the consistent service of such fine yell leaders as these, we should always anticipate the greatest success in our school ' s athletic endeavors.. Left to right.
