i il ll lm - Senior Class Drfopliecq AST EVENING, Mr. Richard Wray, delver into records and other historical matter, delivered the following speech over Station RRI. He has been giv- ing a series of lectures on school life of about 1932. As a climax, he devoted y-esterday's speech to little snatches of news about his classmates, the illus- trious alumni of the Rochester Union High School class of '32. Excerpts of the speech are: Good evening, radio friends. This evening I shall speak on a subject very close to the contents of my pericardium, that of the vicissitudes and ultimate successes of each of my classmates of 1932, which year we graduated from school in the old high school building, the picture of which gives us such a marvelous idea of the old architecture with its bunglesome windows and queer materials of construction. First may I thank Mr. Merle Johnston for letting me use, free of charge, his station for these little speeches of mine, Since I have already mentioned him, I shall add that he was a classmate of mine. Miss Sadie Hardebeck, kept young by Moores' Snazzy Cosmetics Claughier from those in station auditoriuml, has gone to Sweden to make her first tour there with her entire theatrical troupe, Swedish Snowflake Sisters. Hm- I remember that I am to announce tha-t Wayne Kanges, theatre magnate, has billed this troupe for next Friday evening at his Michigan Hill theatre. Mayor Gust Tapio of San Francisco is in town and may be found at Ye Modele Hotel, a distinguished hostelry for a distinguished clientele, managed by Miss Sylvia Erkilla, also a classmate of mine. Miss Edyth Bretthauer is Mr. Tapio's social secretary. I have learned that Miss Violet YVi1liams is now Dean of Women at the University of Nevada. The leader of our RRI trio, Virgil Nostrand, departed from Rochester last. week on a tour to Chicago. His old pal, Ki-rby Shipley, the Gushing Gigolo will be his guide through the vast metropolis. RRI has just secured Marjorie Tuohey as soprano soloist. She left the world-famous Paris Revue, to return to Rochester. Miss Tiuohey informed us that her school-chum, Glennys James, resides in Egypt, where she paints snow- scenes for fame and fortune. Professor Raymond Kimball, after spending his winter vacation with his mother, sailed yesterday for Hawaii where he will resume his duties as teacher of Modern Languages and Cosmetical Application at the Hawaiian Academy. Our air reporter, Sigrid Carlson, discovered that Signe Strand was pianist for Paul Whiteman II's orchestra., and we were surprised to find that Paul Whiteman II .is none other than Loren James himself, the former strawberry magnate of Grand Mound. Angie Carr, famous for her drawling voice, is the busiest telephone opera- tor in the VVest today, despite the fact that most operators have been re- placed by the dial system. Her telephone headquarters are on Rochester Heights. Rumor has it that Angie, the fair divorcee, will be lead into matri- mony by Charles Curtis before the old year dies. Because of his bravery and daring in reciting Thanatopsis before the Brit- ish Parliament, Frank Bigler was knighted by the English monarch. Last month, Lord Frank lFrank Bigler, of courseb and Lady Frank, the former Follies beauty, Sennie Mattson, went into the interior of New York on a big game lprobably bridge? hunt. Miss Marguerite Lorang needs hardly to be mentioned for she is the famous discoverer of demand, that intangible substance that economists say is necessary to balance supply. PAGE FOURTEEN all
