Class of 1936 Walter Morris: Good afternoon. We are sending across the ether a description of the reunion of the class of 1936. This tenth reunion has brought classmates from all parts of the world to dream of days gone by and renew high school ac- quaintances. Our time on the air is lim- ited as we now give you, friends, a de- scription of the festivities. Betty Peo- ples and Helene Egry, famous editors of Better Literature and Poetry, have just arrived from England where their main oifices are located. Hello, Bob, can you tell us some news? Robert Welty: Sure, Walter. I see Ruth Kelso and Roy Meyers in the crowd. They painted an individual portrait of each class member and the pictures are on exhibit here. Graydon Anth0ny's Maga- sin de Paris is well represented as I see Graydon and Louise Heintzelman, his well known mercantile buyer, playing tennis with Harry Cox and Jean Chrisner. Jean is a physical tra-ning teacher at Ligonier High and Hairy owns the Cox Stores Company. This class certainly favors athletics as I see numerous games in progress. I'll have to leave now since some of my friends are calling for me to do some trick riding. I'll be seeing you. Walter Morris: Our Bob is a successful business man. He holds 80 per cent of the stock of the Welty Riding Academy, Inc. Speaking of athletics reminds me that two '36 graduates are now football coaches. Jack Tosh, who was captain of the '35 team, is coach at Princeton. Rich- ard Shirey, an outstanding player of the '34 and '35 teams, has cnarge of the Southern California squad. The boys are arguing the prowess of Eastern and Western football, while Clarence Weimer, Laughlintown realty dealer, is listening. Here comes Louise Heintzelman. Say a few words, Louise. Broadcasts Louise Heintzelmarl: Certainly. Olga Pons, who owns a chain of restaurants, gave the class reunion luncheon. There wasn't anything left when the class of '36 finished. John Ament and Chester Hays, who own most of the farms in Ligonier Valley, are obtaining some valuable farm information from Turney Ross, state agricultural expert. Wesley Mickey, United States Senator from Pennsyl- vania, is handing out statements of his political views. He just now gave Fran- ces Alexander, poetess and dude rancher, some of his propaganda. I must leave now. Good-bye Walter. Walter Morris: Merle Bossart, conductor of the Ligonier Philharmonic orchestra, is now playing some scores from Baum's Haunted, Frank Baum wrote his opera last year and it became famous im- mediately. Boyd Muir, first violinist in the orchestra, will soon play the solo part of The Ghost Creeps, by Baum. Roy Frye's orchestra will play for the danc- ing after the Philharmonic Orchestra has Hnished. Fern Patterson and Roy are the featured vocalists of the orchestra. No doubt you have all heard the famous name of Tiberi. Constantine is head of the Tiberi Barber's Supply Company. What a coincidence! Constantine is headed toward me now. I know you want to speak to the folks, Constantine. Constantine Tiberi: I intended to give my old classmates a thrill this afternoon, but my plans didn't work out so well. I had my pilot, Richard Nicely, bring me to Ligonier from New York this morning. I intended to enter your midst by para- chute, but . . . as you have noticed, I didn't. I jumped from the plane and my parachute opened, but the wind carried me to the business section of town. Im- agine my surprise when I landed on top of the only skyscraper in sight. I stayed IME SCMCDQL Lil-E l:DlllQN Page Twenty-two

Its Tenth Reunion there a couple of hours and then a sten- ographer, who happened to be Marian Nanassy, heard my yelling, and well . . . here I am now, in person. Walter Morris: Evidently you are here. By the way, that skyscraper you landed on belongs to Frances Shoup who owns the Shoup Publishing Companyg her headquarters are in the building. All the better books bear the Shoup Publishing Certificate. Glenn Tosh is Frances' busi- ness manager and how he make business hum!

The famous scientist, Bill Copeland and Sarabel Luth- er, hostess on a transport plane, are here today. Wesley Mickey: Hi, Walter, I'm going to use a little of your time. As the radio audience already knows, I am a candidate for oflice of Junior Senator from Penn- sylvania. My platform is: shorter work- ing hours, better and clearer bills intro- duced in the Senate, and small town boosting. The Senatorial procedure is very complicated, but I will now tell you a few important things to remember if you, Mr. or Mrs. General Public, were to become a senator. The first is . . . Walter Morris: Pardon me, Wesley, but our time on the air is very short and you will have to speak over the radio some- time again. Sarah Wineland and Louoetta Carns, both teachers, are playing hand- ball with Mabel Iscrupe and Dorothy Johnson. who are nurses. Sarah is teach- ing English at Latrobe and Loucetta, chemistry at Greensburg. Dorothy and Mabel are doing private nursing around town and in the local hospital.

Bertha Savage is the featured star in Hollywood's new picture Keeping Company. Jean Keffer is the first wom- an dental hygienist Ligonier has ever had. Edna Rehm is the private secretary of John Hamill, well known business man. Mildred Betz, following in her father's footsteps, is a mail carrier. She is one of the prominent women air mail pilots of the American Line. Jean Kejer: The play, Candle Light by Day, will be presented to the members of the class of '36 in a few minutes. The cast includes Charlotte McLean, Henry Coleman, and Robert Nicely from the class of '36, The sound effects and stage management are in charge of Maurice Flack and Thomas Wuchina. Faye Thomas, who wrote the play, also writes the script for radio presentations by the group. This troupe, managed by Archie Johnson, has been very successful on Broadway and may be heard over the radio. The sponsor is Margaret Beauty Preparations, k n o w n throughout the world. Margaret Zimmerman is the founder of the 'Margaret Shops and Products. Walter Morris: The time has come when we must part. Listen in next year to the reunion of the class of '36. Some- thing exciting is always bound to happen. It's too bad that Constantine's parachute jump didn't turn out as expected, but he might do almost anything next year. Station LHS, operating on a frequency of thirty-six kilocycles by authority of the Federal Communications Commission, is owned and operated by Hugh Hamill. My employer, Hugh, is leaving an excit- ing baseball game to attend the perform- ance of Candle Light by Day, so I'll have to leave, too. Your announcer has been Walter Morris.
