It was published in 1923, while the classes were still being held in Westport Senior High. The name is one selected in a contest and was suggested by Charles Sladek. The slogan, Free From Static, offered by Irwin L. Elwell, was chosen in 1924. Each year eight issues of the Broadcaster are published, at regular intervals, for the nominal sum of forty cents a year. Since the money collected for advertising pays nearly all of the pub- lishing cost, our advertisers help make our paper possible. The Broadcaster is a student project. The articles are now contributed by the English classes, the gym department, the office and the Girl Reserves. The English classes are responsible for the editorials, home room news, club news, personals, bone- hends, and such school news as assemblies, pep meetings, picture shows and plays. The office supplies the radiograms, the gym department the sporting news. This year Miss Emma Stegner is the faculty advisor. The stan' is as follows: Bill Barr, Walton Benn, Mary Margaret Carr, Bobbie Lee Carter, Martha Chapman, Lawrence Earhart, Amelia Fiedler, Walter Hatfield, Ruth McGnvren, Prudence Still- man, Robert Sutermeister and James Todd. --Margaret Carr, -v was-.-..v.'.

By forming 3's the dismissal is accom- plished quickly and easily. This year, in the four lunch periods there have been twenty-four ushers. Margaret Carr, Wilbur Dunn, Kenneth Holdren, Margaret Lieberman, Dick McDonald, Janus Olsen, Barbara Swan, Wayne Shadowen, and Bill Traub are on duty during the fourth hour. Those serving in the fifth hour are Neal Busby, Martha Chapman, Carl Danberg, John Vernon Joy, Carson King, Ruth Mc- Gavren, Wayne Rumsey, Lloyd Tuttle, Wayne Wright, and Dorothy Dean Yeatts. Six of the ushers left before the end of the year. Louis Laugesen, G. N. Lucker, Audry Ove, and Leon Storm were midyear students and left at the end of the first semester. William Fulkerson and Jack White, formerly ushers during the fifth hour, do not attend Westport Junior any longer. The lunch recesses are gay and lively periods when both teachers and pupils relax in the pleasant atmosphere of the cafeteria. No Wonder our cafeteria is such a popular department! . -Margaret Lieberman. .-t.-N.-l.'.1sn.N-..-..-..-.n,5,QQ3.-.---.359-i---..-.-famiunan-.1 Q,-.. -.-.-.wow-..-i g,f-..-t-f Page Fafw-your
