Tiger High Lights VOL, 1. OGDEN, UTAH, MARCH 9, 1939 NO. 4 "HOUSE OF USHER" FEATURED ON TIGER FLASHES ASSEMBLY Richard West Directs Poe's Work Again setting an example in inaugurating the new and novel, Ogden high school will set a precedent when Tiger Flashes, under co - managers Geneal Greaves and Richard West, broadcasts a dramatization of Edgar Allen Poe's famous tale, "The Fall of the House of Usher," over the K L O system, March 17. The spell of the weird and mysterious of Poe's unforgetahle words will spread through the darkened hall; Richard West promises a program that will singe the roots of the hair of every listener. Special arrangements to have the broadcast given Friday from the school assembly, along with the regular Tiger Flashes pro¬gram Thursday at 3:30 p. m., were made last week, and the cast chosen recently is rehears¬ing for the climaxing radio event of the year. Such sound effects as have never before been attempted by the Tiger Flashes group will be given the counting test when the drama is presented over the air. "The K L O radio sta¬tion is cooperating in every way to make this program a suc¬cess," states Richard West. "It will be new in the field of radio broadcasting in the school. Much of the success will depend on the conduct of the students. They must be warned, taught, and trained, and must cooperate to their fullest extent." This radio program will be a climax to a year of successful activities for the Tiger Flashes staff. The facilities for broad¬casting Poe's story were made possible through cooperation of Jack Wolf, in connection with station KLO. Students enacting the drama that will set a new "high" in extra curricular activities are Clyde Checketts, Grant Neute- boom, Spencer Peterson, Ken¬neth Porter, Richard West, and Keith Wilcox.
