1932 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS MOCK WEDDING Mr. A. B. C. D. Goldfish announced the engagement of his daughter Anemone Pteridophita (Eloise McLaughlin) to Mr. Percival Archibald Sylvester Metemsycho- sis (Martha Waddle) February 13, 1932. The wedding was to take place early in April at a time supposedly unknown to the boys. Friday, the eighth of April, the boys were looking wise; some of the girls were in small groups talking, and others were worrying. The arch was gone from the college store room, and the ferns were gone from the library. "It's a shore sign," said the boys, and they were right. The girls had quite a problem getting themselves, the eats, and guests to Nina Stevenson's where the wedding was to take place. The decorating committee went out early in the afternoon and were hard at work when, to their surprise, in walked Marion, who furnished lots of work for them by slipping out of the ropes with which they tied him—but he caused no real trouble because he was the only boy there. All members of the bridal party arrived in due time in spite of the close watch kept by the boys.

First came the bridesmaids (Misses Douthett, Chance, Harbaugh, and Pyles) dressed in organdie of pastel shades and carrying bouquets. Then came the little flower girl (Lois Cultice) in pink, scattering rose petals along the path. She was followed by the maid of honor (Wilda Auld) dressed in coral, carrying a bouquet of pink sweet peas and yellow roses. 'Then came the bride in pale pink, carrying a bouquet of pink sweet peas and roses, on the arm of her father (Glenna Basore). The double ring ceremony was performed. Only one objection was made, and that by Charles Spencer (Mrs. Borst); but it was overruled as trivial so the ceremony proceeded amid laughs, jeers and comments by the uninvited guests. The young couple received the congratulations and best wishes of their friends, and the boys received souvenirs from the bride's bouquet. Refreshments consist- ing of veal salad, wafers, ice cream and cake were served to all. The decorations of the wedding hall were in pink and white. ceived many beautiful and useful gifts.
