4 NBC TRANSMITTER Swing Session The Champ by Lynn Brandt munications became the father of a baby girl. Weight, 7 lbs., 314 ounces. Rolland says bis little television actress of the future is to be named “Grace.” I Do! Loretta Dwyer of Network Sales is now Mrs. Eric Halbert! Loretta left our studios several weeks ago for the avowed purpose of vacationing here and there. Two days later, her friends received an ordinary vacation postcard with the usual “wish you were here” comments. But in small printing could be seen the words announcing her marriage in St. Louis to the Chicago businessman. They honeymooned in Texas. Congratulations, Loretta. Before and After Before radio . . .

Irene Shields, Cashier’s Picnic Party The summer outing of the Chicago NBC Athletic Association, June 22nd, proved to be a most successful party. With a capacity turnout, everybody had a swell time from a. m. to a. m. Golf, baseball, tennis, swimming, bridge, and a candid photo contest induced everyone to enter some form of activity. A luncheon and dinner were included in the day’s program, with dinner as the occasion for the awarding of activity prizes and door prizes. Prizes ranged from radio sets to loaves of bread. Another outing of similar nature is planned for the latter days of August. All success credit is due to hard-working Merritt “Mac” Schoenfeld. Network Sales, president of the NBCAA, and his committee members. Pictures on these pages bear proof of a grand party.
