PRESIDENT All the members of the Reception Staff wish to convey their best wishes for the continued good health and happiness of our president who reaches his forty-ninth birthday on July 19th. May succeeding years find him equally as successful in his endeavors as the year 1935 has endowed him with an abundance of opportunities to help round out a long, energetic and successful career. The Japanese hav“ a word tor it "Omedeto-gozaimasu". REVIVAL OF BRASS BUTTONS REVUE WOULD BE WORTHY PROJECT After the last issue ot the "Brass Buttons Review" it was agreed by all hands that this should be made a permanent feature to appear at least four times a year. Either the lack of initiative or just plain inertia has resulted in nothing be'ng done in this direction. We hereby submit our jte in favor of the proposal to continue these . nows. Are you with us? • INDUCEMENT TO TIDINESS The Locker Room, where pages and guides spend many a spare moment, should be as comfortable as possible. This is the philosophy behind the project under way to replace the less attractive furniture with new and more useful pieces. Thus, in the near future there will be several long tables and accompanying benches to allow the staff to eat its lunch under pleasanter conditions. It is hoped that this will be an inducement to t I d i ness. # WELCOME Miss Ruth Osborne, our newest hostess; Foster Whitlock, back from the University of Wisconsin; and Gerard Sexton who returns to us after a long absence. Greetings and our warmest welcome. • ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Credit should be given where credit is due. The RECEPTIOH STAFF REVIEW extends its. THANKS to the following persons for their able assistance; Mn.

Judge, late assis tant to Mr. Mills, Guest Tours Department, died suddenly on the afternoon of Thursday, July 4th, while swimming in Chesapeate Bay , Betterton, Md. Heart attack was tKe cause of his death. He was on vacation with his bride of, one year, Mrs. V. C. Judge, when death occurred. He was twenty nine years of age. He and his wife 1 ived at 1910 University Ave., Brorx, N. Y. Mr. Vernon C Judge attended Colgate University and the Harvard Business School. Before being employed by the NBC, he was connected with the Rodney-Boon organ i zat ion. Mr. Judge's loss to NBC will be felt by all of us who knew and respected him. We offer our sincere condolences. DID YOU KNOW THAT Alice wood used to trip the dramatic boards with the Marx Brothers and as you may have guessed, the combination must have been pret-ty good! Sydney Evans appeared in the Follies at one time, and many were the hearts that fluttered! She al so model led. Georgia Price is a harpist of erminence, and her concert tours of one time were very highly considered. Ruth Thomas was a model not so long ago, and is still the appl e of our eye! And the new hostess. Miss Osborne, has modelled for two years and gave it all up just to grace our fori orn hal 1 s. Elouise Dawson rates a long list of accomplishments, for she was an NBC Hostess in Cleveland, Ohio, a dancer, and was (and still is) a dramatic actress of no mean talent. Adele Fort was another former NBC Hostess, at WAPI, in Birmingham, Alabama, and also sang over that same station on several commercials a week. Florence Tyner was a model too! (Wp'll have to look into this modelling business), and once displayed the too, too gorgeous clothes of Be rgdor f Goodman. Martha Trueblood was a professional artist before coming to NBC and if you aren't good, she will draw a wicked caricature of you! And that is all for today.... isn't it enough??? MANY THANKS! Mr. Wi Ilian Burke Miller. Evening Program Manager, does not believe in allowing "tempos to fug it". When asked to cooperate with the Guest Tours Dept by supplying an annouhcer to help entertain a special group, three announcers appeared on the scene within fifteen minutes, insuring a perfect afternoon of pleasant memories to 250 guests who traveled many miles to visit the NBC. Action seems to ba the Burke Miller by— word. As Bud Fail lace says; Are you listen? We're wondering what's causing Jack Brennan's sudden interest in writing those lovely poems — "Little rock-wool in the wall" etc. — Weir and "the best cabarello in Mejico" nearly sued the Rtvitv for calling them dreams a'walking. St. George maintains Weir is not a dream but a nightmare. Tsk, tsk. — Does Alice Wood practice her quips on her favorite mount? — The boys haven't followed Aristides Rene' in his choice of summer headgear — maybe they've seen what he looks like in a straw— Pete Bonardi's batting average has dwindled to a mere .590 — Is Mr. Tart's look of pre-occupation due to reception troubles or an "affaire ducoeur"? — ^Yes, Davison, it is a beautiful day out! — What is Al Simmons doing with that nudist magazine?— Mrs. Bill Callander wants to know who the excellent cook is who's fattening Bill up. Mr. Carey's fishing trip was not in vain. He came back with a swell tan. — The force lost a good program man when Eric, the Red, went to Auditing. Good Luck, kid! — Guide Joe Cook stepped in as a singer-entertainer at the Newark Essex House one evening and got a big hand ^Whalen the Cynic wants to know where the hand landed John New — house's "enamorada" from the Majestic still has failed to show up for that date. A stand-up John? — Our own K-7 ha's told us Mrs. Heerdt is peeved because" Ho rse-h a i r" Heerdt has not as yet appeared in CBATTER. After all, Mrs. Heerdt, "Horse-hair" must keep his dignity — ^Van Bergen, now promoted to press, and Otto Brandt's idea of sport is looking for a spaghetti place at 1:30 in the morning — Puck it almost got into trouble for not speaking clearly over the phone the other day — if you want a laugh, ask Ed Deming to tell you the story of Ernie Clark's adventure with "the Gypsy" — Al Peterson is worrying 'cause lately he's had nothing to worry about, which makes everything all right. — When Zack Halpin was appointed Reserve Seat Lieutenant, he decided to get in trim so he went out to get his appendix extracted. Welcome back Zack! — Stick out your chins again, will ya, hey? — FAMOUS REMARKS "If not drastic actior^will be taken..." "Malta will take the fifth studio this evening.." "May I see Mr. Del monte?" "Second floor lieutenant, Campbell!" "Major Bowes auditions are in studio 2E... through the doors on the left... no! beyond the staircase. Look, the doors on the left! Not the Guest Tour Department! ., .through the doors on the left.... to your left!... Yes, that’s right" (collapse of the hostess) . "Spruce up! " "Is this NBC?"
