BROADCAST OF 1948 Script 1 Announcer: Richard VanNorton Announcer: We interrupt the exclusive James Hull High School Stu- dents' Transportation Company's Broadcast to bring you the latest news bulletin, through the courtesy of the Newell Health Biscuit Company, whose slogan is, Take it away! I now turn you over to that famous successor of Walter Winchell, Miss Bette Steele, known to her radio audience as Falter Pinchell. Take it away, Bette. Bette: Good afternoon, my radio friends. Have you had your deli- cious little, crunchy Newell Health Biscuits to-day? As I told my former classmates, the now-famous actress and glam- our girl, Eleanor Ingram, and that romantic screen idol, Clarence Evans, Your figures wouldn't need padding if you ate Newell's fattening little health biscuits. Oh, I almost forgot I am supposed to give you the latest news bulletin. Well, here it is—hot off the wire! Four of my dearest classmates have become bitterest ene- mies since the recent Gouverneur Convention proclaimed them as rivals for the Presidency of the United States. The first of these candidates is the former Miss Blanche Hardy, now wife of the hen-pecked lecturer, Irving Weatherup, running on the Rolling Pin Ticket, with Robert Cushman for Vice-Presi- dent. Richard Witters, ex-ambassador to Podunk, and a great diplomatic power, will head the Four Flusher Ticket, with Mary Conklin running for Vice-President. Victor Judge, that ambitious marathon runner and teacher of bookkeeping, will undertake the leadership of the Easy Street Party, with Donald McDermott as candidate for the Vice-Presidency. The fourth candidate will be Hilliard Seaker, that supercilious salesman of the Sloppy Motor Car Company, with his girl friend, Helen Cobey, running for Vice-President. We pause here to bring you the amazing statement of a the- ory established after years of research by Ada Bradbury. Miss Bradbury, after giving up her baseball career, has been experimenting in the scientific field and has at last come to the conclusion that half the married people in the world are women. This amazing discovery is all the more interesting to us, since Miss Bradbury is a constant user of Newell's Tasty Health Biscuits. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I must take it on the lam, but remember to avoid that dry, wrinkled skin by eating plenty of Newell's Crunchy Health Biscuits. Announcer: This is the Francis Stone Broadcasting Company, sta- tion F-0-0. When you hear the sound of the gong, it will be 4:00 o'clock—Hullova Watch Time. Did you get a Hullova Watch for Christmas? If you did, I'll bet you're sorry. (Gong !) Under special hookup we now take you to one of the great- est social events of the year—the annual fashion show, in progress at the luxurious Francis DuPont Mansion on the banks of the mighty Oswegatchie River. Take it away. Bob Bockus.

BROADCAST OF 1948 Script 2 (Continued from preceding page) Bob Bockus: Good afternoon, girls ! My, but it is a beautiful day here at Gouverneur ! The squeaky strains of Paul Markwick's Jail Breakers' Band are floating across the muddy water of the lily pond. Carolyn Pickert is jazzing it up in imperfect harmony at the piano, accompanied by Bob Tremlett with his hot trumpet playing, and Eugene McGuinness whooping it up on the drums with his mother's knitting needles. Among the famous socialites and celebrities present is Marian Walworth, the countess of Bolshevicky, who is visiting this country in search of a millionaire husband. The most likely victim is William Bresee, who has recently made a for- tune by inventing a new pea-green hair dye which seems to be quite a thing. Hold onto your chairs, friends, for here comes the first model, and who should it be but that glamorous society leader, Frieda McCullough, modeling a four-way-stretch bathing suit which fits her divinely. And who is that pudgy gentle- man she is making eyes at? Oh! It's that popular baseball king, Milton Spaulding! Here comes Barbara Hosmer, the dieter that gets results, modeling the new Ward Sprague air- conditioned fur coat. Whew, but she looks as cool as Bill Reynolds' iced drinks ! Following Miss Hosmer are the models Eleanor Kaplan, Helen Dusharm, Audrey Freeman, and Oletha Goodison, wearing those unparalleled Jurkovich Creations. Here comes a late arrival, the Baroness Eleanor Linkski, escorted by Count Clifford Kittsovitchie, who is being fol- lowed by his train of sweet candied camera women, including Janet Laidlaw, Maebelle McKinney, and Vivian Richardson. Ladies and Gentlemen, our program continues with those renowned floor show artists—Martin (Flash) Hassett and Edna (Speed) Blanchard doing an adaptation of the Marie Davidson adagio dancing, and boy, can they take it ! As our time is lim- ited, I will continue with a flash. Looking around while the floor show is in progress, I see Dorothy Dodds, aerial artist, whose engagement to the President of the Chevrolet Motor Com- pany has been recently announced. She is practicing her trapeze act on the chandelier. Also I see, or rather hear, Janet Myers exercising her vocal chords (as usual) ; while nearby Milton Nichols is trying to sell Roy Randall the patent on his new combination razor and lawn mower. Oh, the floor show is ending! The Master of Ceremonies, Blanche Sullivan, is announcing the next model, Marjorie Enslow. Here she comes exhibiting a new non-tear, non-stretch rubber bathing suit, vulcanized by the Kenneth Kinney Rubber Company. Now, my spring chickens, it is time for me to have my daily game of tiddledywinks, but first I must tell you that a similar program, with the same models, will be presented a year from today at this same time. Next year these lovely (Did I say lovely?) models will show even more daring crea- tions if you will come back to nature with us.
