H- fr --nav' fzsyna' warm- .1- CN, C6716 Scholastic m Cffarewell It is commencement time. We, the class of 1936, a host of energetic and ambitious young men and women bid farewell to our high school days. To eadh one of us it is an incentive moment. Through years of application our goal has at last been reached. Trained as journalist or engineer, the average young man and woman graduate hopes to find an adequate job. We all hope to do our share in the future, not because we the YOUTH must eat and live and love, but alll because the culture of tomorrow depends upon our individual exper- ience, ideals and character building and also because we are to meet this world face to face and because the world sorely needs what we alone can give. All of this and more, we the young men and women of the class of '36 hope to fulfill these conditions and understand that such fulfillments will entitle us to a full share in the opportunties and responsibility of life.

sg, ru l fx C6118 Scholafhc .fi The 'Kadio Glub When radio was first spoken of in connection with the Physics course, it meant more study for us, but when we heard the plan for a radio club our enthusiasm grew. With the help of the boy members of the class the gallery on the fourth floor of the school building was converted into a club room. This required many days of hard work, but the results were most gratifying. The girls of the club decided that these male members should be rewarded for their diligent work. Thus they were tendered a luncheon in the Science room which we all enjoyed. During the months which followed about fifteen radio sets were con- structed. Most of the boys bought and constructed, One Tube Begin- ners Sets , and the girls secured, Air Roamers , but the credit for a great deal of the work on these sets goes to john Beltrane, john Tumulty and Robert McCann, w'ho assisted in the constructions. Credit is also due to Eugene Boyle, Robert Garnet and Paul Lilly for their one tube cigar box sets. These boys collected parts from discarded radios and built sets on the tops of wooden cigar boxes, making a unique set. A two-tube regen- erative set was constructed by our chief engineer Sonny Beltrane. This club has aided us in our school work because it has given us exg perience in the construction, reading of blue prints, and interpretation of symbols. We have learned the meaning of condensers, coils and batter- ies, along with their various uses. We, the pioneers of the club, hope to remain members during our Senior year. GRACE MCBRIDE Vp!
