to the radio world as Bill Perry, is

This announcement says in part:
Pill Perry, tall, good looking
CHS announcer, now on the hign
seas to broadcast the total eclipse
of the sun on June 8 from the
mountain Businesses of far off
Peru, has had a life crowded with
adventure ever since he ran
away to sea when he was fifteen
years old.
Born in Chester, S. c. thirty
years ago, he lived on a cotton
plantation until he was six years
old. Then came school in
Augusta, Georgia, and Montgom-
cry, Alabama, and in rebellion he
chose life before the mast. For
three years he sailed everywhere
but to China and then came
home. After a few months in
college and a short career on the
stage, Perry saw other and more
inviting fields ahead and looked
with favor upon radio. He be-
came a member of the announcing
staff Of the Columbia Broadcast
ing system in 1896. During the
past few months Perry has been
specializing in announcing public
events broadcasts heard over the
Columbia network. Outstanding
among these broadcasts have been
his descriptions and reporting of
the school tragedy in Texas and
the burning of the Hindenburg
