Mr, Schroeder was quite an authority in Mathematics Just recently he was called to Egypt to measure a pyramid Besides finding a bug for Mr Presley he also found the buried treasure of a king of long ago The government let him keep it for pay for his work. Last Iheard he was giving away money right and left Quite a lot of it goes to his secretary Wanda Schneider who Mr Schroeder says She has proven to be one of the most capable, fast working secretaries I ve ever had Mother Who s this great big boy with these great big muscles? That is Bill better known as Skip Stewart Don t you remember me reading to you about that football star the other evening Well that was Skip He s made quite a name for himself in Professional football it seems However Skip says he s getting too old to play and is seriously thinking of retiring to a little farm he owns a few miles from Raymond Oh Mother this boy looks like a cheerleader Yes dear That s Kenneth Waggahoff who was a cheerleader for four years Now guess the only chance he gets to use his voice is to call the children and the pigs l-Ie gets his income from a 1 000 acre farm which he operates himself under the super vision of his wife Next to him is his very close friend Dallas Braye I was told Dallas is one of the most respected eminent men of Raymond And believe it or not they say he has a son who s six feet eleven and three fourths inches tall Mother isn t this a pretty girl? Polston He used to like long hair however the last time I heard of him he didn t have a hair on his head Even has a band of his own it seems Makes at least fzfty dollars for every sweet note that comes from his horn Oh Mother this looks like a nice man That s Paul fbetter known as Redj Broaddus Poor Red had an unfortunate love affair It seems that a crooner stole his lady love s heart but was his heart broken for long No not Red Instead with determination in his heart he went out and found an actress and married her Contrary to what everyone expected the actress turned out to be a perfect farmer s wife Due to the work they have done together Paul has be come one of the most respected farmers in that area I m so glad to hear everything turned out all right for him Mother He looks like such a nice man Oh who s she? Let s see why that s Barbara Lewey She was married right after graduation I think The last time I heard of her and her husband they were travelmg in foreign countries It seems he made his fortune in the Bell Telephone Company which he ceived as a wedding present Oh yes here is Ruth McGinnis I saw her picture in the Glamour magazine just the other day She has just started a new series of the lectures on 'Latest Paris Fashions She is considered an authority on fashions and has been chosen one of the Ten Best Dressed Women in the United States 18 u Cl . . .
