19 2 8 B E T II A N N U A L 19 2 8 RADIO STATION N-E-W-S IT was a beautiful evening in June. The last strains of Lohengrin’s Wedding March had just died out as Torry Orest led his blushing bride, Nellie Angstrom, from the church to the limousine waiting at tin; curb. Who should be sitting at the wheel, resplendent in his shining livery, but Joseph Mattson. A few evenings Inter, the happy couple were seated in their comfy love nest, about to tune in on the evening radio program, when to their great amazement, who should conic walking in to see them but Miss Nelson, their former class adviser. She informed them that Champ Lundin was the popular and high salaried announcer at station N-E-W-S at the present time. They tuned in immediately and heard the old familiar voice announce “Bed Time Stories by Uncle Willie Swan.” Following this delightful presentation was an inspiring duet entitled “Where Is My Wandering Boy To-night?” sung by Vivian Corrcll and Faith Carlson, accompanied at the Baldwin Grand by Charles Peterson. Squcck—rrrk—ce !!!! “We have just been favored with a trumpet solo by Bethel Academy's ex-football hero. Raymond Neasc.” “The guest speaker of the evening will l c Clarence Gilbert, who has just returned from his seventh tour of the world, and whose subject will be ‘Celebrities I have met while globe-trotting’.” Wliec-nwrk—urp!! ? ? “In my travels I have met many old friends in strange places.

Mv stay here was also made most delightful by my old friend. David Morgan, who has now undertaken a business establishment there selling Frigidaires to the jungle natives. While crossing the Sahara Desert I was met by a Yellow Cab driven by Mr. Harry Berg, whose passengers were none other than two wealthy spinsters, Helen Bishop and Iiclga Mossberg, who were still trying to get a thrill out of life. One of my most interesting experiences was in Jerusalem, where I visited at the home of Dr. and Mrs. William Backlund (nee Helen Noren). Dr. Backlund has the largest animal hospital in Palestine. Myrtle Erickson is his assistant superintendent ; her favorite patients are guinea pigs. During my stay in Germany I met Margaret Knutson at the home of Donald Wyatt, Prime Minister of Germany, where she was obstinately demanding at least a payment on Germany’s war debts to America. Eek!!—wow—urp ? ? Rubberless rubber lias been perfected by Elizabeth Wiebc and Dorothy Dexter. Dorothy acknowledges her Latin was a great help in this. It was my privilege, while on the ocean liner, 'The Titanic.’ to meet Mr. William Tapper, returning home from Lapland with his bride, Myrtle Granberg, who lias long been a missionary there. Rrrr—wccc ? ? While traveling in Greenland I was attracted to a scene such as I had never before, observed. There, in the window of the outstanding restaurant, stood Llewcl- Thirly-Tico
