Acti itie . . . Early in February, those interested in radio in Wyandotte received a notification from the FCC -Federal Communications Commission to the un- initiated, that they had been granted a license to operate an amateur radio station. Given the call letters WOSXA, the Radio Club was soon sending and receiving calls from nearly all our neighboring states. Changes in policy were the leaving out of one hour for an assembly instead of shortening all hours, letting students go to their lockers during the passing period, and a new bell schedule start- ing school fifteen minutes later. In short, we've touched just a few of the important changes in and around your high school during the year 1947.

A Principal . . . Page 8 by the editors The advent of the new administration with Ralph C. Johnson as principal, was accompanied by several changes. In actual practice, policy will be weighed in an effort to afford the maximum of democratic opportunity for VV students. Closely linked together in their formation, and working co-operatively are the homeroom system and the School Council, started at the beginning of this school year. It is universally conceded that the homeroom system provides a more efficient way of keeping the affairs of the school in smooth working order, at the same time keeping the stu- dents in closer contact with the central adminis- tration. The homerooms provided a basis whereby students were chosen as representatives to the all- school council which works with the faculty in managing students affairs. An essential group connected with the School Council is the Cafeteria Courtesy Committee. These people volunteered at the beginning of the year to contribute their services toward the tre- mendous job of running, in an efficient manner, a cafeteria which must daily feed Wyandotte's 1900 students. Members of this group were in charge of providing music daily during the three lunch periods. This year also marked the introduction of pep assemblies in the stadium and the auditorium. Highlighting these rallies were the appearance of Forrest C. Phog Allen at the initial auditorium assembly honoring the football team, and the first outdoor assembly, held on the day of the Ward game, at which the entire student body participated in the live formation of the school letters. Judg- ing by the enthusiasm shown, it would seem that these are here to stay. 19p Down: Principal Johnson and School Council presidenl Paul Gibbs, home room in cchon-School Coirncil representahve Barbara Pack selling tickets, Allen Sever reading the announce- ments, home room captains Schweder, -Clemenl and Peck plan- ' rts rograrn, cafeteria record Jockeys Gibbs, Wall and Ei:,?Nnti,59, pap assembly in the stadium.
