Kfddd prop ecy Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. America! Here it is April 1, 1960 and you have with you again your on-the- spot commentator, Shirley Cowbarn, bringing you the high-spots in the news and speaking to you from Shangri- La. While glancing through the records today, 1 came across a portion of my files on graduating classes. My interest was immediately drawn to the achieve- ments of a certain high school class of Rockingham, North Carolina-a city of only 100,000 population. It will be inter- esting to our listeners to know that so many of our famous men and women of today are graduates of this class-the class of 19418. Washington, D. C. this morning proudly received new Congressman Robert Hutchinson, a graduate of this class. Upon his arrival he waved a greet- ing to his life-long friend, Neal Cadieu, who was seated in the press-box having just returned from watching John Moss successfully coach his team, HMoss' Lossesfl to victory through one of the seasonis toughest games against his old schoolmate, Wesley Smith, who coached the opposing team, Wesley's Wrecksf, Report has just come in that Mary fo Phillips, nationally known Dean of one of our foremost women's colleges, the Sadie Hawkins University, is vacationing in Cuba. She is accompanied by .laniee Covington and .lacqueline Harrison, who are her assistants. The Museum of Fine Arts has added to its collection another priceless portrait, 'aGeorgia Boyv, which was painted by the prominent artist, Martha Haywood. At the unveiling, such notables as Farrell Hardin, Clifton Andrews, and Bobby Melton were present. The famous woman doctor, Norma Gwen Baxley, and her assistant, Mildred Terry, last night performed a delicate spinal operation on Hal Currie, saving his life after a seemingly fatal accident in which the bus he was driving over- turned. Lewis Robertson administered vital first-aid on the way to the hospital in the ambulance driven by Ned Yates. Wealthy financiers, Leo McKay and Lester Adeoch, had previously donated funds which made experiments on this type of operation possible. They have done much toward furthering medical knowledge through their generous con- tributions for research. And now for Hollywood doings! It is rumored that Ida Hamer is in the lead for the Academy Reward for her out- standing performance in her latest picture, MSkyline Terrorsf' in which she co-starred with dashing Tommy Taylor. Marian Bullard is signed up to do the leading part in the forthcoming pro- duction of Charles Brown's School Days, co-starring Jimmy Ratliff, and produced byT. G. Long and Bruce Gailes. . . . Bobbie Sue Milliken has accepted a position as model for the Glenn White Photographic Agency . . . Entertainer Geraldine Brand is now making a person- al disappearance tour of the country, accompanied by her secretary, Carleen Wadlcins. After many years, Rockingham, North Carolina has completed its Dorothea Andrews Memorial Hospital, and the city takes pride in announcing that the medical staff is headed by Drs. Daniel Robinson and Adele fones, both dis- tinguished in the Held of surgery. Head nurse will be Mary Elizabeth Irvin and her assistant, Carolyn Horne- Isabelle Williams, Virginia Watts, and .loyce Sanford of the Medical Society were present at the dedication, and a speech of appreciation was made by Alta Clem- mons, mayor of the city- Now for a word from our Sponsor: 4'At this time we should like to pause to inform you that it is the Elbert Penegar Wrecker Company that makes this program possible. Remember our motto, 'You wreck and we rescue.'
