After analyzing the needs of training for citizenship those responsible suggested as a basis qualification for membership in the soc- iety — character, scholarship, leadership and service. As membership is limited to fifteen percent of the graduating class, only six students could be chosen from the Senior group. Selection is made by the entire high school faculty who meet and discuss the qualifications of eligible Seniors. At a most impressive assembly on Friday, April 6, the six members chosen by the faculty were inducted into the Greenport Chapter of this organization and were presented with membership pins by Dr. Lamb. As membership in the Honor Society is a recognition of the finest ideals of scholarship and citizenship, it is hoped that succeeding classes will strive hard to reach this goal.

Hello again, you in the radio audience, while looking for Walter, I dropped in on the cooking contest. The jud- ges, headed by Clive Tyrer, a food expert, selected Mrs. Jerie R. Rempe as the best cook. Her prize winning entry was a Boston Cream Pie. Incidentally Mrs. Rempe was chosen as model farm wife of the year. Another highlight of the cooking contest was a demonstration of Sulphuric Acid and Your Pie given by Miss Marie Bumble. Here comes my assistant; let's see what he has to report. Well, Lowell, I have just seen a very thrilling stock-car race with an extremely amusing ending Two antiquated cars, one driven by Big Wheel Walden, the other by Killer Johnson, the only lady contender, were neck and neck for first place and were about ten feet from the finish line when the motor of Walden's car dropped out and Miss Johnson's ran out of gas. I wish I could have seen that but I think the fashion show would be more interesting to the ladies in the audience so let's take a look and see what is doing over there. This fashion show, ladies, consists entirely of Jackie Pell creations, and Miss Bette Harris, New York's leading hair stylist, has consented to do the coiffures of the models. People are rushing around and there is a great deal of confusion. A rather tired-looking gentleman, who I believe is Clayton Harrell, photographer from Hocus-Pocus Magazine, is running around breaking more flashbulbs than he has a chance to use and is the center of this hub-bub. Oh, I see another young man who is causing much excitement, at least among the feminine onlookers. This very debonair gentleman is John Flatley, prominent successor to Michael Todd. He is escorting that beauteous soph- isticate Bea Rovello, his newest discovery. Things are quieting down now and at last the Mistress of Ceremonies, Marian Van Popering, is stepping forward amidst a. burst of applause. In reality, Miss Van Popering is a speech professor at Harvard but as she is having a short vacation, she has consented to take over the duties of M. C. at this show. I'm sure you will recall her as the originator of many of our newest word twists and slang expressions. The chic model that is now being introduced is Carol Baker wearing a dinner dress with white oyster plums. (I think our M. C. means ostrich plumes.) Ladies, I hope you will forgive me, but as I am not an expert on ladies fashions, it is time for me to leave. Wait a minute, what is all the uproar over there by the door? It appears as if there might have been a fight — oh, I see now what has happened. Terry Overton of the FBI, who has long been on the trail of an elusive jewel thief, has finally caught up with him. This bit of work will probably mean a promotion for him. Whew!! That is enough excitement for one day! Let's take a peek in at the Outdoor Var- iety Show nextdoor. Although the show will not start for quite a while yet, there are many early arrivals who wish to insure good seats for themselves. Standing in line is one of America's formost business women, Helen Sobieray. Helen is at this time, tackling a huge project for the Treasury Department. A program has just been handed to me and a glance down the list of performers verifies the high calibre of this show's entertainment. Justine Coulter has taken time out from her own weekly T. V. program to be M. C. for this open 'air show. Harry Lewis, that hilarious movie comedian, who has taken up where his namesake Joe E. left off, has flown in by special airplane from California. An interesting sidelight is that tonight for the first time, Betty Lynn, famed Carnegie Hall pianist will team up with the jazz pianist, Hal Freeman, to play a flock of new songs which they have written together. Mary Askew will be on hand to show the audience a few of the feats that made her an Olympic Champion. Oh yes — you animal lovers would certainly enjoy the act that animal trainer Mary Jane Habermann has scheduled for tonight. By teaching a pack of hyenas her own loud giggle, she has come up with the most deaf-defying act in many a year. I am sorry that we can not stay to see the show but I would like to take a last look around the fair grounds before closing up shop for today. Oh, there's a poster that might interest some of the listening horse enthusiasts. It announces the opening of a Rodeo here tomorrow night. Bobalong Brown that singing cowboy of movie and TV fame will head the list of Western stars. A little note at the bottom of this poster reads that if anyone wishes an autographed picture of this lanky singer, he should write to Fred Hulse, Bobalong's very shrewd business manaqer. The Fair lit up in all its glittering lights is certainly a beautiful and gay sight. But the one thing here at this huge place that really catches my eye is the distant flag pole sitter, still stubbornly refusing to come down. That loft- ily-perched young man is none other than Don Do Anything Stacey. Although he has gone over Niagara Falls in a barrel and dived from the George Washington Bridge, he hopes to surpass them by this latest feat of endur- ance. What a man!! Well, time is growing short and I'll have to sign off. This has been Lowell Kaltenborn bring- ing you the events of the first day at the State Fair from Station OUQT. Thanks for listening and good night.
