These two pictures of our Mount Pleasant High School building were taken on September 22, 1967. This is from EXHIBIT #12, Section V-B, 9. (FORM 340) for the original radio station construction permit. These photographs were shot prior to our radio tower being erected on the roof.  WMPH 91.7 FM first went on the air in October 1969.
 

WHHS and WMPH – Broadcasting Cousins
By Robert C. Huber, MPHS Class of 1968
May 20, 2007

During my junior year while attending a (Mount Pleasant) high school Student Council campaign pre-election breakfast in May 1967, presidential candidate Jesse Morris approached me about starting a radio station at our high school “…just like WHHS at Haverford High School.” As a Boy Scout leader, a member of the school A/V club, and operator of A/V & P.A. equipment, as well as assisted with the “live” weekly radio broadcast at my church, I always had a keen interest in radio and especially the diverse views of governmental broadcast stations around the world.

However, I was nonetheless surprised when Jesse approached me with the significant leadership role and fulfillment of one of his most popular campaign promises. The day after he was elected president, he promptly tracked me down and asked when I was going to begin the radio station project. Although I felt somewhat like Robert Redford in “The Candidate”, I nevertheless agreed to commence this very exciting opportunity. Even though I never realized it at the time, this challenging responsibility and outcome would profoundly affect my life throughout my professional career.
