It is a great honor, I assure you, to present first our well known and ever popular principal, Mr. William E. White. Mr. White, the friend of all Stenous, has for three and one-half years worked for the welfare of the school. Sentous has attained a high standard of scholarship through his successful leadership. Let me now present to you Mr. White, a true sportsman. Good morning, good people of Sentous. We are offering this morning, greetings and congratulations to the graduating class of Summer '27. It is through the efforts of the A9's that this day's pro- gram is being broadcasted to the world. I am very proud of the Work that has been done by this class. I have seen six graduation classes iise from B7's to' the place where they could make a name for them- selves as High and Mightiesf' I- hope the members of this A9 class will carry with them the am- bition of success. This has been my guide throughout my career. I also hope that the graduation class of Summer '27 will carry with them to the various high schools the determination to Do each day's work each day. As the members of this future B10 class leave Sentous, they will no longer be one body of Sentousites, but they Will separate and go to the difi erent high schools of the city. I hopefully predict that they will take with them the qualities of strong character and good citizen- ship which Sentous strives to promote. Sentous does not forget her old Sentousites and in turn hopes that her graduates will forever remember Sentous and the happy days you have spent here. I thank you.

Many of you have met Mr. Humm at this broadcasting station, and you have found him to be as fine a man as ever trod the halls of Sentous. Mr. Humm will now speak to you. Hello, boys and girls and all young folks of radio land. I am going to say a few words about my department. My object or motto heie at Station S.S.S. is to fit the school to the pupils. I single out all the young pupils that work rapidly in their classes, and put them in classes together. The ones that work more slowly, I put in another group. I help all the pupils who have trouble, and the ones that try to make up subjects by going into adjustment. I adjust programs, to help the pupils out of difficulty and to help them to go on to ligher grades. 'Good-by, boys and girls of radio land. Remember, if you have any difficult problems you want solved, come to me and I will try to help you. This is Radio S.S.S.. broadcasting by remote control from the office of Sentous Junior Hi. You have just listened to Mr. Humm give a short talk on his de- partment. You will rert hear about a very kind and helpful lady known as Miss Borg. Miss Borg is a very prominent figure around the office, and, well, things just couldn't go along smoothly without Miss Borg. Miss Borg has charge- of the office, books, the lockers, reports, candy counter, and many different things that must be done. She makes reports for the City Board of Education. These reports are very difficult and' complicated, and we are proud to have such an eliiicient person in charge. Miss Borg might bc safely called the sweetest lady at Sentous, because she sells so much candy. Miss Borg. Good morning. friends. I am very sorry not to be able to give you people more time, but I have in hand a report which is due im- mediately. so please excuse me this time, as I must capture Mr. White's signature before he goes. You have just heard from the Sunshine Lady, otherwise known as Miss Pot-g. The next number on the program will be a short talk given by Miss Forneris, our newest office clerk, who is taking Miss Hill's place. I left Lincoln High and came to Sentous, and IJ like it here very much. Perhaps you are not all acquainted with me, so I will introduce myself now. I, like Miss Borg, do all the work around here from janitor to secretarial work. I also keep the programs in order, make any necessary changes, open lockers, and keep the books in order. I paste the name plates in all the new books, and said name plates are for your names, so please have your name in your books. I say fare- well to the class of S'27, and wish them success. The last number was given by Miss Forneris, and that will conclude
