Scope and content
In February of 1922, Manley Edwards (extreme right, front row) was elected president of Lincoln High School's newly organized Radio Club. The club had attracted over 40 male and female students, many of whom were licensed radio operators, and was looking to add more members. Faculty advisor A.J. Bell had organized classes in radio which were held during school hours and were taught by club members. The Board of Education had given a gift of $150 to buy a radio set, but the club members decided to build their own instead using the school's electrical shop. Names of the club members were listed in the Tacoma Daily Ledger's April 5, 1922, issue.
