THE QUIVER THE RADIO CLUB 23 The Radio Club has aroused a great deal of interest this year. The Club, containing thirty members, was formed early in November with Mr. Carroll acting as director. The following were elected as officers: President, Alfred Teachman; Vice-President, Remo Kamella ; Secretary, Nelson Wright; Treasurer, Gladys Randall. Mr. Walter F. Fontaine, who was greatly interested in the club, gave the very generous gift of $25. At first, meetings were held every 'lues-day and Thursday afternoons in the Lecture Room. At these meetings, a great deal was done in code practice, tests being given at each meeting. The set was constructed by members of the club, under the efficient supervision of their president, who is greatly interested in the work. Messages have been received from a distance of 2,000 miles. Weather reports and standard time have been transmitted to the school from the station at Arlington. The interest was so great that it was decided to enlarge upon the first set. The new set, like the first one, was constructed by the members. This set contains a regenerative receiver, two-step amplifier. and a reproducer horn. The radiophone is of a very high grade. Messages have been received from a range of 900 miles. It is expected that next year, while night school is in session, people who are interested will be invited to listen. Woonsocket High School is very fortunate in having such a high grade set, as few high schools in New England have one to equal it.

THE QUIVER 2b Several of the Senior girls have played for opening exercises this year. Nickerson Taylor played for singing lessons on Tuesdays and Esther Falk for the Glee Club. When Marshal Foch visited the city last fall, the Woonsocket High School was honored by his presence and by the fact that his speech was given from an especially prepared platform, built on the girls’ tennis court. The school building was highly illuminated, and much enthusiasm was manifested by cheers and songs. On November 30, December 1 and 2, a play. “The Sunny South. was presented in the Assembly Hall under the auspices of the Teachers’ Association, the High School, the Alumni, and the Trustees of the McFee Memorial Library. Tbe play was well attended on all three evenings and netted, together with the sale of candy contributed by pupils and former students, almost $600. The chairman of the committee in charge of the sale of candy the first night was Mrs. Hattie Scott Redfern, ’92; the second night, Mrs. Florence Haigh Palmer, '03; and the last evening, Miss Muriel McFee, ’08, and Miss Elizabeth O’Donnell, ’14. The High School Orchestra furnished music between the scenes of the play.
