+—■— ' • I. () W ELLI A N Senior Class $istorp In 1923, just four hundred and thirty-one years after Co¬ lumbus discovered the New World, an organization formed at the Lowell High School. It was nicknamed “The Freshman Class,” but the original name was “The Class of 1927.” ' Idle requirements of each member was to have a receiving set that would receive four or more stations broadcasting on different wave lengths. Each station has its respective period for broadcasting, which was sometime between 8:45 a. m. and 4 p. m. Some Friday or Saturday nights basketball, football, or track meets were broadcasted. One did not need to tune in these programs, although he showed better school spirit if he did. The batteries often ran down and the operator would re¬ charge them while many lost interest in receiving and would not recharge their batteries. Others lost interest for a day or two at a time and would not listen. Every summer the weather conditions were such that receiving was difficult and we were not required to receive for three months. The cost of broadcasting was paid through taxes and the receiving was free. After four years of receiving from station “K-N-O-W -L- E-D-G-E” some may tune into a bigger and greater powered station, others may work in the broadcasting business, and still other s may start in broadcasting for themselves. Some may make failures, but may not lose courage, while others may do both. And so we will go on until our own station “L-I-F-E” will have to sign off. N.
