1939 Radio Club Exhibit Goes to Duquesne University ln January, Duquesne University extended an invitation to our club spon- sor, Sister Mary Ruth, to prepare a project which would show the work our club was doing in science. Although our Fathers' Night exhibit was completed we wanted to make this new one bigger and better. Again we went to work early and late, school days and holidays, and on February eighteenth we packed thirty charts and twenty-three sets for the journey across Pennsylvania, Although there were no prizes offered by the college, the letter received from Mr. Muldoon. Director of the Science Conference, gave us a glorious feeling. lt is impossible to state all of his letter so I quote in part. We are very sure you would have been proud of your exhibit last week. It was the outstanding single exhibit on display and attracted much favorable attention and comment. We arranged to operate several of the radios during the exhibition hours. Because of its size our photographer was unable to get a complete picture. Rlvo BARTOLACCI FORTY EIGHT Scholastic

Scholastic 1939 Fathers' Night Exhibit Plans for a Fathers' Night exhibit aroused great excitement among the Radio Club members. The noise of the drill and the smell of hot solder lil-led the Radio Room. The clean-up squad was kept busy for as fast as it put the room in order we upset it. A contest was on-prizes were awarded--and we were all out to win. The work accomplished was too much for display in the Science Room so we staked our claims on the upper corridor. The exhibit was the largest of any year and we were very proud. Mr. Daniel Lilly, Mr. Joseph Carroll, and Mr. Edward Gallagher were the judges.
