This is your local news commentator, Lou Rowland, speaking to you through the courtesy of Station L.B.C., or more commonly known as the Lovell Broadcasting Company. Our Broadcast today centers around a group of people who graduated from Salem High School just ten years ago. A class, we are proud to say. which has progressed well and shall continue to progress. The Class of '-47! CSince it is considered to us a great honor to have the privilege to discuss such a well-known, and well-cultured group of citizens, applause should now follow. CGee, Thanks lj FLASH ! ! ! ! The former Betty Schmidt of Lovell City has returned from a New York shopping spree to take over the job as Matron Nurse in the Lovell Charity Hospital. Rumors have it that her husband, L. K. Mastergoon, is doing well in the 'revised Schmidt Machine Shop.' The Lovell Plain Dealer, our city paper. is under new editorship. XVe know very little about this prosperous gentleman editor evceot that his name is Mr, Donald Orians, and he was a graduate from Salem High School in the year of '47. However. we do have one important item about Mr. Orians which l'm sure will prove that he is a worthy man for the editorship. lt seems that the new editor has also been elected XVvanrlot County Livestock Inspector, by the President of the United States. Good Luck, Mr. lfditorll A Brooklyn school teacher, and a member of the United States Labor Organization, has arrived in town for a hve day visit with her parents. Her name is Betty Karg. and word has it that she is flashing' a lovely diamond on her left hand. Can this word be true?? David Snyder. who had been voted the most unattainable bachelor eve' to graduate from Salem High School, has bachelor's quarters in a fashionable hotel in New York City. Some of Dave's closer friends say he has sat up a small laleoratorv in one corner of the room. Perhaps yo'.1've heard more about him as that queer Dr. Snyder? But what's so queer about trying to invent technicolor bublzle g'um??? l see by the Society Page in todav's lllain Dealer that the former Miss -lanet Koehler has been electefl one of the ten best-dressed women in the world. She and her husband have started a modeling school on Fast Chip- pendale in lovell City, and plan to starr their two younger daughters as 'feature' models soon. A few weeks asfo the Mayor of Lovell Citv threatened several emi'ent builders in the Southwest Section. lt seems these builders were working UO YY ..- WWZ4-.. -Tia . v Y . ..,,. ,,.-,1:'v, ,Y i. + 1 -... . ...IGV
