NEW AMPLIFYING
SYSTEM IS BEING
INSTALLED HERE
Senior High School Auditorium
Will Have More Efficient
Sound Equipment.
IS BUILT IN PHYSICS LAB
Mr. J. Stanley Johnson Directs Activi
ties of Charlie Bennett and Stage
Crew in Placing Apparatus.
Ubarlie Bennett and the members of
his stage crew are installing a new
amplifying system in the auditorium,
under the direction of Mr, J. Stanley
Johnson.
The outfit is being eonstriicted in the
pliysic.s laboratory and will be com-
p!''tcd by Social Standards day, on No-
vcml>er 12. A complete new Jensen
sy.stem will replace the obsolete one
the school has now. The old radio hook
up will be removed entirely, the
speakers under the stage will be taken
out and the entire outfit sold. In its
place, two big Jensen speakers of the
latest design and construction will be
erected on either side of the stage, six
or eight feet above the stage level, and
attached firmly to the wall. Two
.smaller speakers will be installed di
rectly under the balcony, and the en
tire amplifying outfit will be encased in
a steel cabinet. This encasement will
prevent the outfit from being unduly
handled in carrying back and forth to
the office.
In addition to this now equipment, a
small microphone will be attached to
the speaker's stand which will register
sound from a distance of four feet.
This will enable speakers to feel
le.ss obligated io remain in a cramped
position directly before the “mike.”
Ml'. Johnson expects this amplifying
system to become nationwide. He
asserts that it will give out ample
sound to the entire auditorium, will be
more convenient for speakers, and will
eliminate all “stuttering'’ and “back
firing" from the microphone.

'‘For Distinguished Service” is Given
in Chapel; Sue Wimbish
Takes Lead Part.
“For Distinguished Service." pre
sented by the modern drama class in
chapel recently, was a novel, sophis
ticated comedy with a tlieme which
pointed out the inconsistency of per
sonal liberty marriages.
Silo Wimbish, who portrayed the
liiucky heroine, gave a sincere perfonu-
anco. delivered in her deep, luisky voice,
while Rhea Gaynelle Sikes reached new
heights in her well-timed emotional
scenes. Carolyn Coker, ns the maid,
though having little to say or do, exe
cuted every action, word, and looli
exactly in character.
In the opinion of the majority of stu-
d(?nts the program was one of the most
interesting given this year.
