dered a violin solo. Miss Morse of the
seminary, who was to have read, was
unable to be present. Miss Helen Cut

Gold" being followed by a reading by
Miss Blanche TiIdeu, including an orig
inal poem. Miss Campbell gave an
other violin solo and, as a fitting close
to the program, Miss Rachel Cutler
played the Mendelssohn wedding march.
Miss Tildens original poem, which
was well received, was as follows:
When spring Is gay and love Is young,
And birds sing out their rcundelay,
The poets write in pleasant rhyme
There are 50 many things to say.
But when the years have golden grown
And life's outlook, has changed its view.
Folks still expect the rhythmic lines
Although of somewhat soberer hue.
Warren and Cutler viii not rhvme
Although you try il every way.
II really seems they might for once
Upon this golden wedding day,
Fayette and Nora sound the best
To those who gather here tonight
These are the names you've oft been
called,
Familiar names TO friends seem right.
When the flowers Of May were bloom
ing
just fifty years ago to-day
Then YOU promised to each other
Companionship along the way.
In many paths you did lifes work.
Living while on Goddsrd's hill.
Then dresses Nora made TO fl
The stone Fsyette carved with will
A good home rewarded your work,
Not for yourselves did you build and
make.
Your hearts welcomed those in distress
And never the lone did forsake.
The children focking in and out
Brought with them youthful life and
cheer.
Dav by day they kept life younger,
Forgetful OF the passing year.
Though recalling the loved and lost,
Your gratitude must still be strong,
That together you have labored.
Walked hand in hand the pathway long
While remaining wears reach westward,
Shadows fade into sunsets glow.
As YOU near the diamond milestone,
Nav fortune her best gifts bestow.
