Station K.S.K.I., which a few
months ago had just begun the
first broadcasts of the 1942-43 sea-
son, is now fast becoming a Kiski
tradition. Originally intended
simply as a means to give the
students a glimpse of the day's
news, this year K.S.K.I. has done
that and more. The work of the
station falls into three categories;
the daily news broadcasts, the
musical programs presented along
with the meals, and the special
features the station prepares, such
as its Sunday news and sports
round-up, the Students Hit Parade
and, still to be attempted, a ser-
ies of short radio plays.
Of primary importance are the
daily newscasts, given at noon,
for their purpose is double. These
newscasts not only provide

Dinner Dance
Featured on
Valentine Eve
On Saturday night, Feb. 13th,
Kiski had its annual mid-year
dance, which this time included
dinner. The meal lasted from
7:30 till 8:45, during which popu-
lar and dinner records were play-
ed and many couples danced. The
Kiski Kats took over at 9:00, op-
ening with their theme song

mek, Frank's brother. Some of

included "Anniversary Waltz",
"Light a Candle in the Chapel",
and "I've Heard that Song Be-
fore".
At intermission, Mr. Scandrett
offered the audience quite a novel-
ty; he did a song and dance num-
ber, and soon had the audience's
sides splitting. Dressed as an at-
tractive Frenchwoman, he sang
one of Fannie Brice's old torch
songs, "My Man", and finished off
with a can-can routine. Because
of the audience's clamor, as an
encore the madame gave a heart-
warming rendition of "The Mar-
seilles", the song of her beloved
native land. Bud Yenne and Bob
Fogg also added to the intermis-
sion entertainment with trumpet
and drum solos.
The girls stayed in Wilson Hall
and really kept Mrs. Dawson busy.

vantage of the fresh snow, going
orchards, skiing and toboganning.
