MOCK WEDDING Although the boys were not yet engaged in minstrel practice, or out-of-town on a baseball trip, the Y. W. did have the Mock Wedding on the evening of March 16, at the home of Mrs. S. C. Wright. Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. Work and Anna Jane Wham presented a short musical program. Miss Wham sang "0 Promise Me" and "I Love You Truly". Mrs. Work played "To a Wild Rose" and Lohengrin's "Wedding March" from Wagner. The handsome groom, Mr. R. Smith, with his best man, Mr. N. Stevenson, followed Rev. Basore into the room. The bride Lois Cultice, with her father, Mr. E. Robe, and her attendants, descended the wide stairway. The bridesmaids, Misses Bull, Watkins, Hartman, and Pyles, were dressed in pink, with shoulder corsages of sweet peas. The Maid of Honor, Miss Jane West, was also dressed in pink and wore a shoulder corsage of sweet peas. The flower girl, Miss Kimble, scattered rose petals in the path of the bride. Miss Kim- ble wore a dainty yellow dress with white accessories. Master Mary Linton carried the ring on a satin pillow. Ushers were Messrs. Anderson, Ritenour, C. Brill and Mount. You'll have to admit, boys, that we put it over on you. A toast for Carolyn Brill, the Bride of '35. FACULTY RECEPTION, 1933 At the invitation of the faculty, the student body trooped to the Alford Gymnasium on the evening of June I, 1933, to enjoy the annual faculty reception. A program consisting of short speeches and musical selections by the various college musical organizations, under Mrs. Work's direction, was presented to the audience. After the formal program, group games were played, and the students and faculty joined in singing college songs. Refreshments were served, with Miss Angevine at her traditional place behind the punch bowl for the last time. "BLARNEY STREET" The Junior Class presented the Irish comedy, "Blarney Street," at the Opera House on March 22. The action of the play took place on the porches of the Breen-Flanagan duplex. The members of the Breen family were Pat (Bob Harriman); Maggie, his wife (Eleanor Bull); and Rosie, their daughter (Dorothy Lunsford). The members of the Flanagan family were Mike (Arthur Donaldson); Bridget, his wife, afflicted with tumors (Carrie Mount); and their son Dan (Ralph Tindall). Levi Levinsky, a Jew, (William Waddle), tried to buy the business of Breen and Flanagan. Nora O'Leary (Maxine Bennett) kept members of both households informed of the happenings about town. The furniture dealer, (Paul Rife), made life miserable for Mrs. Breen, and the milkmen (Gilbert Christian and Eugene Spencer) interrupted a lasting "good-morning." The stage manager, Carl Ferguson, and stage director, Carolyn Brill, de- serve much credit for the stage setting. Though these two families lived side by side and though the son and daughter were in love with each other, they fought like cats and dogs. The quarreling was climaxed by a tug- of-war in which the members of both families took part. But after they thought themselves rich and found themselves poor, they made up and all went well. The Wilberforce Male Chorus added to the enjoyment of the evening by singing sev- eral numbers as only they can sing. The play was directed by Miss Basore. Page Sixty-three
