C LASS I-l I STU DY This is station S. H. S., 1942-first on your dial-summarizing events, past and present. But first a word about our product. -5 S-T-U-D-Y spells study-the thing for you! Everyone's raving about its marvelous effect on the mind. lt soothes and brings relief, especially in those crucial moments when you get those contract test pains. Try it, and if at the end of six weeks, you don't feel the difference-double your supply. Now for the highlights. The Freshman Broadcasting Company, which in 1945 will merge with other companies to form the Alumni, has elected officers. They are Ralph Mongillo, Gloria Canganelly, Gertrude McCloskey and Mary Haussler-president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Miss Dorothea Verrett, whose civics program comes to you daily from this company, is the organizer of the Junior Red Cross. Since that fateful day of December 7th, the members of the Freshman Broadcasting Company have been trying to do their bit for national defense. ln a lighter vein, Mr. Vincent Tisi, a member ofthe board of directors, is the Arthur Murray of this outfit. With the capable assistance of Miss Lauretta Hames they are trying to help us scale the heights of sublime ignorance concerning dancing. The skill of the pupils was demon- strated at the annual freshman social, conducted April lOth. lt was a gala affair and the hall way. gayly decorated. Games as well as dancing were enioyed. Due to an important engagement at the altar, Miss Leah Savitsky has had to leave her pro- gram Science Forum of the Air , in the capable hands of Miss Margaret Hayes. In studio Bl, Miss Lauretta Hames conducts the Voice of Literature program. Softly through the closed door come wafting out bits of poetry- Who touches a hair of yon grey head, dies like a dog . . . The cast portrayed these famous lines beautifully with no coaching from the audience. An interesting sidelight on fashions is the growing popularity of knee socks. How many times has your announcer seen them gracing the legs of our youthful part-time employees? Our last little item of social interest is the many assemblies that have been held in the Music Hall here. They were led by the afternoon supervisor, Mr. Karl K. Tarbell. Ladies and gentlemen, try STUDY tonight! To use it is to love it. For further behind the scene news, listen in at 1943 on your dial under another network. The Sophomore Broadmasting Company presents to you the news of the day. But first a word about our product. HOMEWORK-it comes in the thrifty, economical, easy to-handle size , which takes only a couple of minutes to pass out, but for best results apply yourselves for a stretch of two to three hours. You'lI be amazed at the results! You no longer want to take the day off from work . Your mind is relaxed. You are no longer furtive-hoping for some sort of distraction to come along so your boss won't ask you to account for the work you should have done last night. And now the news. The Quiz Kids , up in studio Cl on the third floor of this pretentious building, are reviewing The Lady of The Lake for the benefit of our listeners. lf you don't mind a pun from the announcer, how much those kids wish The Lady would drown in her Lake , thus ending their mental discomfiture. Mr. William Esposito, that well-known man about radio, conducts a show in studio C3 called People Are Funny , which is exemplified by most of the answers received by the director.. Our fashion column contains this item which may interest the feminine element. Loafers, an all-purpose shoe, are gradually replacing saddle shoes. They're worn at dances, at school, at play-any time at all. This is the most popular shoe that has yet come out. Rumor has it that there is some sort of maniac loose around our company. Several of the male members have appeared with their locks shorn, but to be more specificin terms ofthe modern vernacular, many of them now have what is called the butch or crew-cut . The culprits 24
