The Junior Echo arg W9 Tomorrowys program will be reasons Why I like Cicero's Oration as a pastimef, This is station PEL, situated on the well-known Ridge Road, operated by Pearle E. Leenhouts. She is broadcasting a tale on why beautiful girls marry homely boys and vice versa. She has just concluded a speech on My Ideal Man. Every station maintained by the members of the class of IQ23 has been heard from.

Ontario High School 4570 'F'-5 1923 Broadcast By Norman A. Beach T HAS BEEN my good fortune to be here with this radio set and listen in upon the programs of the evening. Each member of the class of 1923 owns and operates a broadcast- ing station not only for the benefit which they derive but al- so for the amusement of the town of Ontario and vicinity. You will readily deduce that our class is modern and up-to-the-minute in Every respect. It is quite the custom for each class to excel the preceding class, but it will be quite impossible for the class o-f 1924 to excel this class. It now being 8:30 or thereabouts, the programs will soon start. I shall endeavor to get station MMM. I have it.--The announcer is announcing station MMM, owned and operated by Maurice M. Maher at the Tourists' Camp, Ontario, N. Y. He is advertising the best kinds of Lolly Pops, Soft Drinks, and Coney Island Hots. This is station MWA, operatingl' fro-m Ontario Center, owned by Myrtle W. Allen, now operating in unison with Har- land Hogeboom. She is sending a short talk on the dignity of the Senior Class to be followed by talks on Our Eiiicient Faculty. This is station CES, owned by Cloise Swearingen, operated from the First Congregational Church of Ontario. He is telling how he spent his four years in high school getting three years of Latin. He is also discoursing on beauties of the French language and the numerous irregularities of the verbs. Let's look for another. This is station VIF, operated by Violetta I. Finkle under the auspices of the Lakeside Automobile Club, giving a topic on accidents fro-m speeding. She says acci- dents are sure to occur to speeders on the race track, highway, or in the class room. She announces a resolution that speeding be prohibited for this special class night occasion. Station GLH is now sending her program a little late. She is sending bedtim-e stories of school children at play, to put the un- der-graduates and other foolish creatures to bed early so they will not get her habit of staying up late at night and being late at school next day. She is now signing off station GLH, operated by Gladys L. Herbert. This is station BLB, operated by Beulah Louise Brandt from the Cotton Home, Irondequoit, N. Y.
