---an accurate, authenic tabulation of the station's taste in popular music---
The eight-year-old skinny little boy who won first prize in a talent contest in a local synagogue by playing "Open the Door, Richard," on the violin is none other than our News Director, IRV MARGOLIS.
That was the beginning of Irv's career, and he's continued to win the hearts of all who know him.
Irv grew up in West Oak Lane, and attended Central High. Here he was an S.A. representative, played JV baseball and Intramural football, and was a D.J. on the Radio Workshop.
Irv admits that he became interested in Radio and TV when he heard Neil Harvy speak at Central. From then on he was done for.
Starting his WRTI career in the traffic department, he worked his way up to music assistant. From there he went to his present job as News Director.
Where Irv finds time for all this is a mystery...he has two outside jobs, one running his own delivery service and the other in the credit department of Sears. He even finds time to go steady with Judy Lieberman. Irv plans to enter the directing field after graduation.
Music Mystery Box being dropped temporarily pending arrival of the prizes from Lucky Strike...red tape slowing the free cigarettes...
Gail Eveland and Steve Yedenock made it "an evening at the opera" Thursday nite.
