IRC Reviews
Events of 1955
On January 30 from 10:20-
11:20, preceding the Snow Queen
Coronation, the IRC presented
Monitor. This IRC program depicted various highlights and
sidelights of 1955 through the
medium of radio, audio, and
Monitor.
The various scenes included: an
"Eye Witness" launching of the
Nautilus, a lively and heated
Foreign Policy Discussion, and the
atmosphere that prevailed at the
"Geneva Spirit." Last year's
Snow-Queen Coronation was recalled and its details such as the
date, February 7th, and our
beautiful and regal 1955 Queen
Carol Orpen. Such serious news
items as President Dwight D.
Eisenhower's heart attack of September 24, 1955, merited reverence and a silent prayer for his
speedy recovery. Not all was
as serious as Ike's heart attack.
Bob and Ray were there to make
like comedians in the laugh and
chuckle department. Bob and
Ray were again seen and heard
at the Gourmet Club opening the
"Sandwich of the Evening." The
sexy and appealing tones of Miss
Monitor were heard by all. The
temperatures in all the "cool"
and "torrid" locations were given.

was on record. The chief male
announcer was Roger Nelson, and
