WHPS Broadcasts
Under Difficulties
Due to technical difficulties,
WHPS-FM is, at present, able to
broadcast only transcribed pro
grams.
Because of defective tubes, the
console of WHPS-FM has broken
down. The console is the mechan
ism through which the radio sta
tion normally operates. Until it
is repaired, no tape recordings
will be broadcast. Mainly, the
present programs are made up of
of recorded music and various
transcribed features.
The broadcasting hours of the
school station still remain the
same—in the day time from 9:00
until 3:00 and in the evening from
6:00 until 9:16.
FHA Hears Dr, William Martin
At Raleigh A nnual Convention
“Next to group singing and
family prayer, storytelling is the
greatest common denominator of
personality. My hope and purpose
is that through storytelling, fam
ilies will be united in a group ac
tivity which fosters tolerance and
intimate understanding.”
This was a comment made by
Dr. William Martin, the “Winston
Storyteller,” who was the speaker
at the annual state convention of
Mr. Whitley Speaks
To Future Teachers
D. P. “Whitley, at a recent meet
ing of the Future Teachers of
America, talked to the members
about the future of the teaching
profession.
Mr. Whitley stressed the influ
ence teachers have on society by
mentioning the play “The King
and I,” in which one teacher who
was sent to Siam to educate the
King’s children changed the form
of government to that of a de
mocracy.
He discussed the many oppor
tunities that teaching offers, not
only teaching in grades one through
12, but also teaching in special
fields in all grades. Some of the
special fields discussed were mus
ic, library science, corrective read
ing, art, and handicapped child
ren.
Mr. Whitley said that by 1961
America will need 40% more
teachers than she has now. He
emphasized the fact that the stu
dents of today will be filling the
teaching positions of that day.
