Radio Club

Radio club, sponsored by Mr. David Gauger, Physics teacher, and Mr. Peter Titre, of the electric shop, is one of the most active organizations in school this year.

Instruction will be given by Mr. Gauger and Mr. Titre, both of whom are licensed hams.

"We hope to claim title to an entire transmitting and receiving station someday," explained Mr. Gauger, "but that costs a lot of money."
