VISITS mo STAIN 25 Students With Members Radio Club Observe Broad casting Station WNRC. The members of Mr. Alston’s physics class together with a tew members of the radio club enjoyed a unique experience Thursday when they “broadcast” over the radio. This came about as a result of a trip to radio station WNRC, at Greensboro, which the class made in order to study more closely the construction of radios and broad casting stations. For the past week or so the physics students have been delving into the “realms of the ether,” and have been learning all about the way music carries over long distances. Their teacher decided that the best way to get the facts would be to go to Greens boro. The announcer over there, Mr. Nelson, kindly consented to let the class go over the entire broad casting station and see all the appratus. The twenty-five students left here beginning of the third period Thursday and arrived back about the end of fifth period. During the time that they spent in the broad casting studio in the O’Henry hotel, they saw practically every piece of equipment that is neces- say in broadcasting. They went up on the roof were the wires and amplifiers are placed and were shown these separate parts. Mr. Nelson told them what each part of the machine did, and the visitors supplemented his information with what they had studied in class. At 12:30 the announcer told the radio audience that he was going to discontinue the program that was then being broadcast, and let them hear from the High Point high school visitors. This was a total surprise to the students as they had no idea that they would be allowed to speak through the microphone. They stood in line and GLOBE INDUSTRIAL BANK We Pay 5 Per Cent on Savings SHO /V The students who “tuck-off” certain faculty members a week or so ago, must certainly believe in letting the teachers see themselves as “ithers” see them. Now that Mr. Hoover proposes to help the farmer, it seems to me he might do something about this here hot sun shine. each said a word or two of greeting to the audience. Mr. Alston was next introduced and he told some thing of what his class has been studying in the way of radios. The microphone through which the H.P.H.S. scholars spoke is a new one, and an improvement on the old type. In the old kind, the speaker was required to stand directly before the phone, but on the new one he may stand any where in the room and speak so that he will be heard over the air. The students were especially in terested in this Improvement and studied it carefully. All who went on the “excursion” reported that they had a fine time and were anxious to accept Mr. Nelson’s hind invitation to return to the studio at some future date. BOY SCOUT STUDIES AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY Craighead McCanless, Senior, Writes of His Interest in That Field—Tells of Kodak Co. Contest. SNOW LUMBER CO. ESTABLISHED 1880 •O o« to do is to point the camera and snap the picture, but there is a great deal more than that. For Instance, the lights and shadows, and arrangements and exposures, all do something toward making good pictures. The light should al ways be at your back when you take a picture. The shadows should not cover the face of the person whose picture is being taken. Some freak pictures have been taken by letting shadows play over the per son’s face. For the arrangement the subject should be natural—the camera should be held on the level of the one being taken and it should not be pointed up or down. When the subject is seated, his feet should not show as they would look three or four times larger than they ordinarily do. The Eastman Kodak Company is offering thirty thousand dollars in prizes to ama teurs. There are eleven subjects to choose from. The first prize under each head is five hundred dollars. The main prize is two thousand five hundred dollars. —Craighead McCanless ADELAIDE CDDWELl IS ■ED DF CONTESTS Theatre Wins District After Eliminating Ruth Wood in Local Contest Will Go to Greensboro. Amateur photography is some thing more than pointing the camera and snapping the shutter. Ever since the first camera, with its glass plates and slow lens, was in vented, people have been having their pictures taken. The first cameras were not very popular be cause one had to sit for an hour or two for the picture to “take.” Now, the plate or film is so sensi tive that a picture can be recorded in one ten thousandth of a second.
