wedding march, old, but ever new
and sweet, the happy pair entered,
and were met under an archway of
flowers and tulle by Rev. w. S:
Brooke, who spoke the solemn
words uniting their lives as one.
The bride was never more attractive
and beautiful, in wisteria silk coat
suit, all details in harmony, and
carried shower bouquet of brides
roses and valley lilies. Congratus
lations and good wishes were ex-
tended.
While sweet music was enjoyed a
repast was served by Misses Lizzie
Wright, Eufa Satcher and Emelle
Thacker.
The brides bouquet when thrown
was caught by Miss Eula Satcher.

The commencement sermon was
preached on Sunday morning IN the
school auditorium by DR.. John E.
