lier above was shaded in pink tulle ;
from this was suspended large pink

place. Pink-shaded candles in silver
sticks were at each corner; pink
minis and sailed almonds were in the
tall silver compotes; and the delect-
able iced drink in the tall glass at
each place was also pink.
The favors were little white satin
suitcases for the men, and white satin
hearts for the ladies, each tied with
valley lilies The place-cards were
painted in charming little bridal
! couples. On the table, also was an
| adorable Kewpie bridal, the groom
resplendent in "swallow-tail" and

Football Squad Dined by Professors


DR.. Kinnamon, principal of the
high school, and Professor Bray ten
dered delightful dinner to the foot
ball squad on Tuesday evening, at
the Marietta Golf Club.
Covers were laid for twenty at a
great square table on which the deco
rations carried out in every detail the
high school colors of green and white,
White tapers in crystal candle
sticks wore fluffy green pompons, the
crystal chandelier in the center bore
green candles; the lace centerpiece
and mate were over green; and the
two big Jack Horner pies were
wreathed in white morning glories
with their green leaves. A grand
turkey dinner, with all the accom-
paniments was served to the very APP
preciative guests. Then the very
cute favors, with clever little verses
attached, were drawn from the big
"pies" by the guests. DR.. Kinnamon's
card said:
F'Mr. Kinnamon is the idol of Mari
eta High School,
He's what the boys call regular fell
low.
His hair may be red
But whatever else is said
There's nothing about him that's vel
low"
Professor Brays card read:
"Mr. Bray's tall man, but it comes
in pretty handy;
In playing basketball he can throw
a goal handy.
He's a grand guard, too, but he's
better at the basket
If you expect to guard him, go or
der your casketp'
! Wallace Montgomery, Captain OF
the team:
''Wallace, I'll admit, is a pretty good
player,
And (when in Rome) he's also pref
ty good slayer
But at making touchdown he's simp'
ly fine
Specially when Louyse is on the side
line"
Lee Sessions:
CAT half-back Lee is simply fine,
He never fails to buck the line,
He carries the ball like the players al
Tech,
And if you will notice you'll find I'm
correct"
Louis Hibble:
Louis, the center, is rather small
But no one passes him without fall
For if they are too big for him tc
hold
He scares them so they just CAM
make goal.
| And so on!

back ground. Artistic baskets of
Golden oranges, crimson apples, pink
and pale green grapes, and deep vel

centerpieces for the tables.
After the delicious regulation
