A now antique radio featured in an old English textbook
#1
Photo 

From an English textbook "Voyages in English, 6th Year", copyright 1951. Looks like a bakelite tube radio on that windowsill.  May even be a Philco... A modern set back in 1951.

Had this book in 6th grade in 1966 (Yes, this school had no budget for newer books, like every school). This book had a section for creative writing, and another section for grammar. My teachers only did the grammar section, as it was on the annual standardized tests There was no way to do computer scored tests of creative writing back then, or even today.

Light version of Orson Wells.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
