PROGRAM IS ABOUT THE NEGRO A very interesting program on the negro was given, February 21, in this club. Dera Brown told some thing about negro folklore. Great negro poets were discussed by Gladys Culler. Miss Carrier told the club about a very prominent negro woman who is doing much to help the race question. Negro songs and |spirituals, led by Mar garet Neese, were sung by the club. The program was in charge of Genevieve Sheetz, social chalr- O God save me from my friends, I can protect myself from my ene mies.—Marshall de Vlllars. o All human things are subject to decay; and when fate summons, monarchs must obey.—Dryden. To anyone who has gone through this experience I want to apologize if this seems too mild to express the j feeling one has during his first { transmission. I might add also | that this Is one of the greatest i thrills of the game. After having studied hard, lain awake at night, having eaten, drunk and done everything else with radio on the brain, I at last passed the government examina tion, and could now call myself a Radio Amateur—that wonderful name, and all the joys that go with it. Some poet has said, “Anticipa tion is always sweeter than realiza tion,” but I am sure that I do not agree with him. Anyway, soon after having acquired my license, I took a trip over to radio station W4AHA at Anderson, S. C. Claude Prevost was the operator’s name, and he gave me the privilege of operating the station that night. Well, I sat down, and tuned the receiver until presently I heard, through the barrage of static, the peep, peep note of W4PF whining away with a cq, signifying that he was open for communication. When he signed, I pulled the big switch that cut on the transmitter, and the two big tubes from behind the panel, while the needles of the meters, as they hovered nervously up and down the scales—not un like a blind person’s fingers moving over raised type—all went together to give me a nervous feeling at the beginning. I started calling W4PF. He is located at Hendersonville, N. C. I will not attempt to describe fully how I felt. Suffice it to say though, that I was jerky, and my hand would not form the well- known characters evenly in spite of all my attempts to try to send steady. I cannot explain why a person would be nervous except that he knows that every time he presses the key, the signal goes out to be picked up by any number of amateurs and government officials. To get back to where I left off, W4PF answered me the first time. We talked together about ten minutes, telling each other about the weather, etc. I asked him to excuse my mistakes, as this was the first time I had operated a station. Since then it has always been my greatest pleasure to be The election of home room officers has been made complete. In the preceding issues of The Pointer, lists have been printed of the newly elected officers.
