Rabin ll.X'l wonders there are in wireless? Seeing the great future in store for wireless and the great factor that wireless will occupy in business lite. the faculty of St. .loseph's thought it best to give the students an oppors tunity to study the wonder of the day. llterefore, early in November the services of Klr. jerome .Xntlrews as wiref less instructor were secured. He gathered around him some forty or more Radio enthusiasts and gave them lessons three days a week, covering the theory of receiving and transmitting instruments. linthusiasnt waxed strong and many more students enrolled for the course. ,Xfter teaching here for several months. during which he accomplished a great deal, Klr. .Xndrews left us to assume charge of the Radio llepartnient at the Lf. of ll. llis work here was taken up by Rev. Brother QX. llenry, director. l'nder the new regime, lectures were given on the construction of receiving sets, starting with the crystal detector and enrbracing the better and more compli- cated construction of the audion set, embracing the simple detector bulb, the one step and several stages of amplification. Through his efforts, St. 'loseph's can boast of the finest sensitive instrument, a two step amplifying set, in the City of Detroit. This set has picked up nearly all the broadcasting stations in the country. The following are a few of the many stations heard: KDKA, XYRIY, XYXYI, XYXYI, XYVIZ. NYDY.

during which we killed General Geometry once and for all, another campaign was put on in the school-that of soliciting advertisements for the Year Book. After we had been impressed both by Brother Henry and Brother Lewis, and then by Brother Dominic, with talks relative to the huge success of the Year Book of 1921, we set to work and busied ourselves in the campaign 'to make this year's annual a greater success. That we have done this, is attested, by the fact, that the class brought in the sum of 3253, S80 of which was secured by Vincent Lukaszewicz our leading man. VV ith the coming of the baseball season the school league got under way and up to the present time, we have won one game, a 16 to 10 victory over Freshmen UA and lost one to the Fourth Year, a ften inning game, by a score of 10 to 9. VVhen the season ends we expect to be well out in the front of the League. The Sophomores have shown great interest in Athletics at all times. To all forms of sport we have contributed excellent material. Our one object and aim has always been to bring great honor and glory to Alma Mater. We believe we have succeeded in this, because we have stood as a unit, when it came to the question of athletics. HERBERT CLARK. ,g llla Salle News Sgnhirate ITH the dawn of the year 1922 came the birth of an idea that had long been in the mind of Rev. Brother A. Lewis, F. S. C., our Faculty Advisor. After much preliminary work and negotiations and having secured the sanction of his Provincial he formed the La Salle News Syndicate among the Brothers' schools in the New York Province publishing school papers. The object of this Syndicate being two-fold: To encourage friendly relations between the member publications and secondly to be a medium whereby the Christian Brothers and their work will become better known. From its very inception the movement met with a hearty welcome. Praise, was the word of the hour at its birth. Invitations were sent out to the Brothers' schools, with the result that many favorable replies were received. News items were then exchanged and a department called Around the Brothers' Schools was opened in the member publications. VVith things in fine running order, our Faculty Advisor set to work on a project of forming a National Syndicate. Negotiations were carried on with the Cornrnent, Cretin High School, St. Paul, Minn., for the purpose of merging the New York and St. Louis syndicates. This was affected on Friday, March 17, with headquarters here at St. Joseph's. The movement did not stop here, for ere the month of March had passed into history, the Syndicate had taken on an international aspect. The height of our Faculty Advisor's ambition had been reached, and all within the short space of sixty days. Syndicate inaugurated January 21, 19223 National, March 17, 1922, and International, March 30, 1922. At the time of writing this, May 5, the United States, Canada and Panama Canal Zone are represented in this Syndicate. The other countries of the world are expected to enter within a very short time. At this time, due to the efforts of The Arrow staff, the Syndicate is func- tioning splendidly and great good is being done. It has made a hit and we see a wonderful future ahead of it. Long may it live. Ad rnultos annos. Page F orty-sez'en
