On the night of June 24, 1937, it Was so distressingly warm that it was impossible to sleep. I was lying restlessly on my bed when I finally decided to give up the idea of going to sleep. I got up and turned on the radio. I turned the dials, yet all was still. It Was too late in the evening and the stations had all signed off. I was just going to give up in despair, when a distant sound reached my ears. Ah! There was one station on the air, at least. I turned the dials and before long brought in the sound clearly and distinctly, just in time to hear the end of a jazz number. All was quiet. Had they, too, signed off? No! For now came a voice which said: Radio S.S.S., Sentous Spirit and Scholarship, owned and operated by Sentous Junior High School, Los Angeles, aliforniaf' Of course, the minute I heard this I was very much overjoyed, but when I heard the a11n0uncer's next statement it seemed too good to be true.
