cause and a good time was had by all.

WKNR gets many thank-you letters, one of which, received this past week,
reads (in part) as follows:
"We, the instructors and the RO'l'C cadets of Southeastern High School
"Salute You" and the WKNR radio station for making "The Pledge of
Allegiance" by Red Skelton your Keener record of the week. We think that
this was one of the finest gestures that a radio station has made in a very
long time."
