9 B AND C GIVE PROGRAM"
ON EDISON.
On Friday morning Miss Ram
sey’s section of the ninth • grade
presented the following program
in chapel. It consisted of certain
phases in the life of Thomas A.
Edison. The program, which show
ed much originality' was splendidly
rendered. It showed the good
speaking ability of the pupils who
took part in it.
Roy Callison the chairman of
the program, first told something
of the chilhood of Edison.
Jack Hendrix told about when
Edison induced his father’s chore
boy, Michael Oates to swallow a
quantity of seidlitz powders, be
lieving* that the gases thus gener
ated would enable him to fly.
J. P. Sullivan illustrated Edison
as* a young newsboy on a train,
*■ who had, in one of his experi
ments, caused an explosion on the
train* He received a box on his
vears which made him nearly deaf.
This proved to. be a blessing in
disguise because it increased his
marvelous powers of concentra
tion.
Woodrow Callison told of his in
vention of the telegraph.
Lizzie Mae Edmunds told of
Bell’s invention of the telephone
k to which # Edison, with his genius,
* added much improvement. She
also related how Edison was the
first to say, “hello” when talking
at the telephone.
Frances Strom entertained the
pupils with a selection on the
phonograph illustrating Edison’s
invention of the phonograph. •
Evelyn Brown told, in conclusion
of the electric light, how it start
ed with the crude carbon lamp
and was finally perfected in the
incandescent light we have today.
We are looking forward for anoth
er program from them soon. *
