Special Despatch [sic] to Sunday Telegram

Sanford, Feb. 8--York County has one of the youngest radio teams in the State, if not in all New England, known as The Jolly Three and consisting of Irene Luby, 13; Ralph Parson, 14; and Edward Norwood, 15.  They are known by listeners to Station WHEB, Portsmouth, N.H., as Sis, Eddie and Bunky.

The trio is in charge of Irving Cilley, step-father of Irene Luby.  Irene is a pupil in the 7th grade at the Emerson School and is the featured singer of the group.  Ralph Parson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Parson of Blaisdell's Corner, Lebanon.  Edward Norwood lives at North Rochester, N.H.

They present cowboy and modern music and have been received with much favor not only over the air, but also at personal appearances.

Do You Remember?, newspaper clipping, 1936

Do you remember when bid whist was as popular as contract may ever hope to be?  Styles have changed in bridge as well as dress, as shown from the gowns worn by these ladies back in the nineties.  These women were leaders in the social life in Newport and formed the "Happy Hour Club," the first bridge club in town.  They met each week for a supper party and played cards in the evening, the hostess supplying a twelfth member.

Front row:  Hubert M. Wardwell, Jr., now with the Middlesex Fire Insurance Company, Concord, Mass., Mrs. Cordelia Wardwell, dead; Miss Carrie Sawyer; Mrs. Bessie Hunt, dead; Alfred S. Adams, son of Mrs. Abbie Adams and a member of the high school faculty in Watertown, Mass.
