High Moment

High Moment was an old time radio program dedicated to bringing the real life stories of Americans in a dramatic portrayal. This radio program from the late 50's related to the audience 'the moments of your lives and the moments of your neighbors on your block'; the way the narrator would introduce the radio episode. The show presents real life events dramatized in radio play to showcase the work of communities to make their little piece of America a better place. High Moment is a show sponsored by the National women's Club and uses their resources to improve things for their communities.

A Head of Steam
A juvenile gang is creating havoc around the community and beginning to get noticed. The young people seem to be bored and start to do things, such as slash tires and vandalize public property. The local Women's Club decides to try to find out what they can do to change the way things are going.

High Moment was a short-lived program and made an impression upon its listening public. The Women's Clubs encouraged involvement in the communities around the nation and was one of the largest civic groups to effect change. The stories presented paid positive homage to Americans that wanted to improve things where they lived. This program did a good thing...impressed people that no person or problem could not have focus and correction. We all live in High Moments.
