OAK GROVE

Inc Oak Grove hockey team ac-
cepted defeat on Saturday morning
with sportsmanlike spirit that
could bring honor to any school, in
the match with the Coburn girls that
, gave the visitors a victory of 9-6.
I The preceding game had resulted in
an 8-S tie that made each team covet
victory in the second match. When
the condition of the Coburn field
made it impossible to play the game
in Waterville, the Vassalboro girls
offered their athletic field for the
match, although the Oak Grove team
was suffering the temporary loss of
five able players and the Quakers
knew even tl.eir supreme efforts
could not be expected to bring vic
tory over the strong Coburn team.
Every time the fast Coburn players
scored a goal the Oak Grove girls
gave them a c&eer. The Who'll, game
was marked by the finest sportsman
ship on each team. The Misses Nc
Dougal, Rollins and Dean played
brilliantly for the visitors, while the
playing of Misses Colony, Perkins
and Hinkson shore for the Quaker
team. The referees were Miss Nes-
bit of the Coburn faculty and Miss
Crossley. the physical director at Oak
Grove.
The girls on the Oak Grove hockey
team were given motor ride from
4 to 6 z. M. that included shopping
in Waterville. Miss Dayton, Miss
Cofran and Miss Holmes chaperoned
groups to town on Saturday.
Mr.. Owen and a group from the
school attended Quarterly Meeting at
South China all day SATURDAY..
4 One of the most elaborate and
original social functions Of the year
was staged at o'clock Saturday
evening when a group of dozen
girls staged a very beautiful church
wedding. Unlike the proverbial mock
wedding, nothing ridiculous entered
into any part of the ceremony and
it was made beautifully impressive.
The long and spacious senior corri-
dor was transformed into church
with ferns and decorations. AS the
orchestra played the Lohengrin We'd
ding March the bridal procession adj
vanced slowly with clergyman, flower
girl, ring bearer, bridesmaids and all
the retinue of a stylish wedding. 1t
was double wedding and the brides
with their white satin gowns and i'm
provised wells were truly charming.
1t must be admitted, however, that
at least In a girls school, the hand
some grooms, ushers and attendants
in white flannels and dark coats at
tracted the most attention.. The
guests came in their finest clothes,
wearing hats and gloves. and the
whole affair was prettily carried out.
After a brief reception, the girls
served a delicious repast, prepared
entirely by themselves, and the rest
of the evening was passed enjoying
a musical and literary program with
several impromptu numbers into
which everyone entered spontaneous
ly.
Mr.. Pollard was at the school CIV
ing riding lessons all the afternoon
six mile ride. There Is great deal
of enthusiasm at Oak Grove for
trip of two weeks, Immediately at
the close of school next June, to the
White Mountains. Most of the teach
ers are also taking lessons, and 1t
is quite likely that a cavalcade from
Oak Grove may take two weeks next
June for a joyous adventure on
horseback when the country Is most
beautiful. Seven of the girls have
already ridden 20 miles In one day
and by June they should be real cav
alters.
The following girls had honor
grades of 80 or more in the number
of subjects indicated, for the past
week: four, Barbara White; three,
Jacqueline Clark. Caroline Wuzzy,
