In wireless telegraphy the receiving set is tuned un to receive certain wave lengths, and in the Bendin? is where the government steps in and tells all j amateurs .lust what they may and may not do. If the boys were allowed to tune up to the commercial standard, 200 to OOQ wave lengths, they would be receiving a lot of news to which tiiey were not entitled, and at the same time sending a lot and mixing the at mosphere un in general with an assort ment of wave lengths that had no business being loose. The Radio club of the high school was organized in November, 1914 with nine members, after receiving permis sion from Principal J. C. Nelson, At this time the boys had no instruments, but with a buzzer that made a sound similar to that received in a radio re ceiving telephone, the boys soon learn ed to recognize the letters of the Con tinental system used in all commercial, ship and government wireless tele graphing, As the boys progressed in their work instructed by Adair Lockwood, a high school boy who had been a commercial wireless operator, thev set up a bat tery with key and buzzer and a receiv ing telephone and were soon practicing on sending as well as receiving mes sages. Tho boys now havo a complete re ceiving set which will be assembled as soon as the radio towers are erected. When theso towers are up, the boys will be nblo to send as far as Portland und also to receive. Even with their present incomplete apparatus, thev can henr tho government station nt North Head, Washington sending out the cor rect time nt noon each day and ten o 'clock in the evening. To secure a "overnment license, and no one can get a government or com mercial position without n license, on operator must stand an examination and dotnonstrnto that he can receive and send 12 words a minute. Several of tho Rndio club can now send 12 words a minute, and recoive six; With thoir new equipment and by hard work the boys fool that they co-i work up to the standard roouircd for a license, or nt least can do tho work after a few months study at the Portland Y. M. ('. A. regular wireless school. Four of tho boys have their own re ceiving Bets and with the towers on Mm high school building, can easily talk with Portland. Tho officers of tho Radio club are as follows: President Palo Wigle, Secretary Enrl Mason. . Treasurer Wlllnrd Simpson. Chief operator and instructor Her bert Welch. The active members are: Crosby Rover, James Gardner, Henry Legget, William Mohney, Estill BrunK, George Klbert, Harold Deacon, Walter Ran som, II. Branson, A. Branson, Ed I.e bold, Arthur Buell.
