Remember When: The Public Address Commission

Remember the homeroom and afternoon announcements when we were in high school? In the adjacent photo, Steven Horton promptly informed students of the goings-on at AWHS while seated in front of the microphone.

As for those announcements, we heard just about everything. They sounded something like this:

"Line four in the cafeteria will be closed today. Please disregard that bell. The car with the license plate number ... Hello, everyone, this is Tony Pro with the afternoon announcements."

The Public Address Commission (PAC) was used throughout the day for various reasons. During our senior year at Andrew Warde High School, morning announcements were eliminated and were read during homeroom from the daily bulletin. Early birds frequently heard music throughout the school before classes began.

What are some of your memories of the homeroom and afternoon announcements? Share them in the "comments" section below. Also, if you have an idea for a Remember When feature, send me an email, and I'll find try to find the photos and information for you.
