  • 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends
    2014 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, From 2010 to 2013, we grew from serving 350 to over 500 youth per year through after-school programming, plus an additional 500 youth through in-school programming at East Boston High School and the Mario Umana Academy. Throughout this growth, we are proud to have successfully maintained our quality of service, and the warmth that has made ZUMIX a “second home” to so many of our participants. Just the other day, Lisnette, one of our 10-year-old participants, said to us, “I love ZUMIX because it’s my family. ZUMIX is like a home to me.” In January 2014, we had the privilege of taking the ZUMIX Jazz Allstars to the Panama Jazz Festival. This was ZUMIX’s second international journey, and one of the highlights of our 23 years of service. In one intensive week of workshops, clinics, presentations, and performances, we saw the transformative power of music in action. Watching them evolve as artists and young adults was a gift beyond words. 2014 was also our busiest year ever in terms of paid work opportunities for our youth. Over the past year, our youth collectively earned over $30,000 as live sound technicians, musicians, radio journalists, and youth staff. Our youth were hired to run sound and perform at numerous events and venues across the city, including Mayor Marty Walsh’s inauguration party, Arts on the Arcade at Faneuil Hall, and many more. When we look at the amazing accomplishments of our youth and alumni, and their dedication to building positive futures for themselves, we are truly inspired.

Until now, all the action has been confined to the pages of an obscure campus journal, but it would not be prudent, we think, to ignore the incidents to date as insignifi- cant. Of course, it is no great secret that Tech men place their own co- eds only slightly higher in social esteem, generally, than inanimate ob- jects, and it has rarely occurred that a cooed has confused one of her male colleagues with Prince Charming, but never before. in our recol- lection, has either side publicly denounced the other in words. It would seem that serious consideration on the part of our keener official minds is warranted before this situation gets out of hand.

Paananen Research Laboratory of Electronics Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts This report is based on a thesis presented for the degree of Electrical Engineer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1952. Abstract This report concerns the application of a wideband, interference-reducing theory to FM broadcast receiver design. In the first part, the space link between the trans- mitter and receiver is examined, with discussions of FM coverage and expected inter- ference in a given area. This material allows the determination of some of the receiv- er parameters, such as selectivity and spurious responses. The second part of the report pertains to the receiver itself. Various selectivity configurations are compared, with special attention to an approximation method useful in filter amplifier design.
