NBC Transmitter (Jan-Nov 1936)

1936 K ( C ( Acquainted You ought to know Gerard “Jerry” Wolke our guide captain — because — his progress rates your recognition. In two years he has successfully filled several officerships on the reception staff to finally arrive in his present office last October. because — his education was found in the Woodrow Wilson High School of Weehawken, N. J., Marquand Prep, of Brooklyn and the University of North Carolina. because — his activities in college sports have gained him three letters, two minor and one major. He only regrets that there was no marble team on the roster of the U. N. C. Athletic Association. When he was a youngster he was the “kijuckle down” champion of every town he lived in. Only last year he got into a neighborhood game and won two handfuls with five. Because he was wont to leave his winnings scattered hither and yon about the house his mother still entertains a gnawing fear of Stepping into an urilighted room lest a loose marble result in her assuming involuntary “horizontality.” because — his travels (California is the only state in the Union he has missed and he spent eleven months in Colombia, South America) have made of him a very interesting conversationalist. because — of his previous experience as salesman, usher. Wall Street clerk, and railroad dispatcher — We give you (if he will sit still long enough for the photographer to snap him) Jerry Wolke.

Wow! > > € < We learned that after only two years of employment in Radio City Bill Hoffman managed to get around to seeing a show at the Music Hall. » » « « And then there was the Guide taking his first tour; who faced his party on the fourth floor, eyes aglow, knees knocking, and was heard to gurgle: (Breathe) “Now that we are all here physically and some mentally . . .”. ’Sa fact! ! > » C C D’jever hear of “nomenollogy”?
