Standing there balanced on his crutch, a
hand where his shoulder usually rested, he was a sight to stir the
pathos and inspire admiration in any crowd.
"I say, people, give three royal yells for Mr. Hooper! He's one of the
dearest old chaps that ever drew breath! Ready, now----"
The roof didn't quite raise, but the nails may have been loosened some
and the timbers strained. With the ceasing of the cheers, Bill shouted
again:
"And now don't forget Professor Gray! He's going to be in on this deal,
big, as you know!"
Again the walls trembled. Once more Bill was heard:
"And I have this suggestion: We'll put up a radio broadcasting station
at the school. Get a government license, find means to make our service
worth while and talk to anyone we want to. How's that?"
The building didn't crumble, but it surely shook. And then Professor
Gray had the floor:
"Girls and boys, we mustn't forget William Brown and Augustus Grier. You
can hardly mention one without the other. I propose--"
Gus shamelessly interrupted his respected teacher and friend:
"Three yells for Bill Brown's radio! Let her go!"
It went; as did also the refreshments a little later.
How Bill's idea of building a radio broadcasting station was carried out
will be told in "Bill Brown Listens In."
