On The Aur The big moment is almost here—that time when Station WTECH makes its radio debut! Completely fascinated by the dramatic tension that prevails, we’re gathered in Studio “A” in the midst of all kinds of radio paraphernalia. The engineer behind the glassed-in control panel is now raising three fingers, a gesture which signifies “three minutes remaining,” just enough time to urge you to keep your radios tuned to this station for the “Who?” “What?” “Where?” “When?” and particularly the “Why?” of life at Tech. Tech is the most important part of our present young lives. In our youthful enthusiasm, we are more than eager that you may share in our school experiences. For that reason we are going to tell you the story of Tech so that the wholesome spirit of working together, which is so much a part of it, may find its proper place in your homes as well as in your hearts. Thus we have chosen radio as our theme—our hats off to modern science—to beam directly to you, our sponsors and listening audience, the proof that we are being ably trained to take our places as happy, useful, and intelligent citizens not only in our local but also in our broader world community. The little red hand on the studio clock is nearing our “zero hour” — split second timing is necessary—and we’re on the air with the TECH TIGER of 1950!
