THE 1940 COMMANDER
General Electric Radios for 1940 embody enhanced ear and eye values afforded by larger and more beautiful cabinets, definitely greater audio output, widely expanded tone range,
extra sensitivity and selectivity, stability of performance, and the new Alnico-magnet "DYNAPOWER" speaker- all important values to you in selecting your radio.
TROPIC-PROOF CONSTRUCTION
Reliability for continuous, full- power, and long-life perform ance under the most severe climatic conditions, is another great General Electric engineer- ing triumph. The 1940 Tropic Proof models are the result of several years' testing in General
Electric's "Humidity Cham- ber," which subjects parts and complete receivers to humidity and temperature & conditions more severe than the worst of the TROPICS. Result-full measure of reliability to your benefit and satisfaction.

Miss Brown took charge till end of term, introducing various changes to aid the physical well-being of the pupils. A door has been made from the Laboratory store-room to a small piece of roof, now a garden. I hope this is only the beginning and that arrangements may be made to gain access to the roof space over the New Building. This is a matter of greater importance now that we have, owing to the new Training College, lost our playing ground.
