PROMIN ENT YOUNG PEOPLE WED THRICE Miss Julian Schnaiter of Martins- ville and Mr. Chadwick Kelso, also of this city, were married for the third time at the Downey Avenue Christian Church, Indianapolis, by Reverend Lloyd Jordan. Mr. Kelso was attended by Richard Griffith, best man. The wedding was a most elabor- ate occasion. Live ivy vines and cactus plants decorated the church's interior. Miss Schnaiter's gown of red cheesecloth with violet and yellow accessories was a Paris creation. The maid of honor, Jeanette Gray, was lovely in green cretonne beach pajamas with orange accessories. The blushing bride gently tossed her bouquet of a dozen cactus plants amid the host of excited bridesmaids. Miss Leah Kerkhof, the lucky girl, is now in the Methodist Hospital of that city. LOCAL MEN START NEW ENTERPRISE Wilbur Skaggs, James Walsh, Henry Mosier, and Chester Strat- ton, local young men, have started a side show in a carnival that will tour Indiana this summer.

Chet Stratton will be a roustabout, taking care of the equipment and driving the truck from town to town, while James Walsh will bear his share of the burden by per- forming the duties of the leather- lunged barker. These boys have worked hard to make their show a success and are expecting a large audience from their old friends and class-mates when they come to Martinsville. Terrible Accident Narrowly Averted Dunkers Adopt Motto Last Friday night a terrible acci- dent occurred as a party of ladies was returning from the convention of Allied Dunkers of America. This convention was held in the City Hall at Mahalasville. While the car was rounding a curve, it is believed that the steering wheel must have snapped. The ladies were Martha. Terrell, Oreal Williamson, Ileene Gray, Margaret West, and Caroline Watford. The motto When Better Dunking is Done We Will Be the Dunkers was adopted.

She has gained a nation-wide reputation by her stump speeches. In a recent cam- paign a certain man begged her to renounce her fame and fortune and live in his humble home. It is be- lieved that she acquiesced. DATE BUREAU BIG SUCCESS The former Miss Nettie Caldwell, who now resides in New York. owns and operates the Imperial Date Bureau of New York . In the main office of this gigantic struc- ture she sits daily beaming on couples who have made their first dates through her Date Bureau.

The Senior Class, Signed, Virginia Zenor. .UP ,m'Q MEMORIES Attached to every class that stalks through the portals of their alma mater are certain particular memories which they cherish through the long years that fate has allotted them. The class of '32 also has memories-some good, some bad. Those famous Sclmaiter parties will al- ways linger in the minds-or maybe, heads -of the members of this class. julian had a big Hallowe'en party the freshman year. This was one of the biggest events of our first year in high school. The members of the class will remember that dark haired Romeo by the name of VValsh that had all the girls a'flutter. Another incident which the students that took English under Miss Overton will certainly remember. That's Miss Overton's monocle with the black silk ribbon which hung around her neck. It was not known exactly why she wore it, but the surmises were numerous. The big event of the junior year-espe- cially for the sad Brooklynites-was the discontinuation of the interurban line. It goes without saying that certain Martins- ville boys also suffered. Never will the members of the class for- get that yellow issue of the school paper which contained screaming headlines about various startling crimes. This issue was secured for the class through the efforts of the junior member of the staff. That kid party of the juniors when all the boys rolled up their pants legs and the girls wore short dresses will always remain as one of the good times of the past. One has to admit it was unusual, but that hay ride of the seniors really had some trucks, and-hay, hay! No one wants to for- get that swell time the class had out at the Johnston home when certain couples took one of the trucks and had a little ride of their- own. Everyone that took senior English will remember the time Miss Stevens was handed secrets of the past, present, and fu- ture which probably no other person had ever been acquainted with. It was those autobiographies that were written for an English assignment. One will remember how our worthy principal attempted to sep- arate some of the inseparable couples. Ah. me, those were the days. This page through the courtesy of Cure 3x Son
