We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Practicing what they preach, this 1936 group of breakfasteers "start the day with a smile, music and an extra cup of cawfee." Left to right, Carl Fasshauer, Bill Short, Earl Roberts, Walter Blaufuss, Helen Jane Belke, Don, Frank Papile, Clark Dennis, Bill Krenz and Eddie Ballantine. "A believe-it-or-not organization, composed of miracle men and miracle women,” read the in¬ scription on a radio medal of merit. It was Breakfast Club’s first national recognition, but believe-it-or-not, it didn’t produce a sponsor. Don McNeill celebrated his 1000th Breakfast Club broadcast in September with two new singers. Clark Dennis of Flint, Mich, and Helen Jane Behlke of Bemidji, Minn, had replaced Jack Owens and Edna O’Dell. Walter Blaufuss and Don composed the hymn "My Cathedral” and it was performed for the first time the morning King George of England was buried. This was also the year Don brought Minnie, the singing mouse of Woodstock, Ill., to the microphone. Annette King joined the show in November. 21
