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.

Ullman A 152 EN short months ago we entered the historic halls of St. josephls with a spirit and disposition characteristic of Freshmen. Our vacation over, we were in a sense glad to get back to school and what is more to enter the ranks of high school students. Uur elementary education had come to an end, and we were now entering upon a field that would later in life place us among the educated men of the country. Witli this much said you will, gentle and kind reader, understand why each and every one of us felt proud. High school students-this meant a great deal to us, more than you can sense. Upon entering the hallowed halls of St. joe's, we felt pretty much the same as a child does, who has entered school for the first time. We were confronted with many new faces, new scenes, new teachers, new everything. But it was not long before we had become acquainted with our new surroundings, companions and teachers and then everything, needless to say became very pleasant for us. On that memorable day we started with over fifty, but ere long the number began to dwindle, for some had come here with-wrong conceptions and finding out their mistake in time, betook themselves to other high schools. By the time our first quarterly examination came around we were down to forty-eight. As soon as we had become sufficiently acquainted, we organized a class society, which we are glad to say did great work during the year. It engendered a spirit of good fellowship and fraternity and was the means of creating a fine class spirit. In commencing our high school education we found that we were to take up Elementery Algebra, Spanish, Mechanical Drawing, General Science, along with Catechism, English and Business Spelling. It was not long before these new subjects began to present their difficulties. For the majority of us we found Spanish and Algebra to be our bugbears, but exercising a little good will and a determination to succeed. we soon conquered these two subjects with the aid of our teachers. After our first battle for success, viz: our first quarterly examinations we had a fair idea as to what we might expect in june. Cur motto for the first examina- tion was: XVell begun is half done. The results proved that we understood its meaning. A few, about this time, found the pace too fast for them and con- sequently dropped out of the ranks, the others whose prospects were none to bright continued to cling with the hope of making good. Time alone settled their fate. About this time a radio class was formed and a number of the lads of our room joined the special class conducted after school hours. VVonderful results came from these lessons, for as a consequence, those who followed them were better able to cope with this vast growing wonder of the age. The school orchestra, which was organized under the direction of Rev. Brother Amedy, F. S. C., received great support from this class, four of our number, Urban Moffatt, Edward Labinski, Anthony Meier and llenry Van Holl- ebeke, joining it and gave to it the benefit of their musical talent, thus helping to make it one of the best boys' orchestras in the City of Detroit. This history would not be complete if we did not make mention of the Chris- tian Brothersl Diamond jubilee Crusade. The object of which was, to raise funds in order to erect a Memorial Building to the Christian Brothers in New Rev. Bro. Andrew, F.S,C. Page Fifty
