C H A Q S lllilllllllllil 4 nmnnmnnmnnm nmnmu Ellie Ziazzelaerizn PUTT-WISEMAN NUPTIALS A very charming and effective wedding cere- mony was solemnized at the People's Elope- ment Church, Friday evening. The church was taste- fully and beautifully decorated with dande- lions, suniiowers, and asparagus. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, was charmingly attired in a gown of scarlet velvet with a long train, which was carried by two train bearers, the bride's twin sisters. She carried a bouquet of rare orchids and snap- dragons. The brides- maids were attired in yellow brocaded trans- parent drooping green hats ornamented with large red roses. They carried bouquets of, morning glories and sweet williams. The double ring cere- mony was used, after which the bridal party departed to the home of the bride, where an elaborate d i n n e r was served. The menu, which was entirely original, con- sisted of: Frog Cocktail Goat-a-la-king Cow-buttered beans Whipped Irishers Asparagus in egg shells Charlotte Russe Chasse Immediately after the dinner the couple left for New York, from which place they will sail to Europe on the Donforgetchagirl. The b r i d e was beautiful in a sport ensemble of tan. They will be at home at 3609 Main St., Reno, Nevada. All their friends wish them hap- piness, and they hope the Reno atmosphere will have no bad effects upon their wedded life. Page Twenty HALTED ON BRINK OF CHAMPIONSHIP R. H. S. Quintet De- feated by New York Champions Mr. Thomas Wilcox was elected last fall to the position of head coach at R. H. S., where he follows in the foot- steps of E. G. Harrison, who has been retired on a pension. His basket- ball team has just closed a succesful sea- son, having gone to the finals in the national basketball tournament. His Hashy little team was defeated, after a fast and furious battle, by the New York five. It will be interesting to many to know that Lawrence Arnott, one of the older alumni of R. H. S., was one of the sponsors of the tourna- ment. He is now a prominent Wall Street financier but has not .forgotten his love for sports.

Later in the court procedure Miss Johnson was able to appear and she fervently verified CARTUN ING and SINE PANETING Did chepe A U fernish de jack We fernish de brane. Edward Williams, Mgr.

Upon their re- turn there was a death- like silence in the room when the foreman arose to render the decision. Since this was the first oiense of its kind, the jury saw fit to be leni- ent with this couple, and the decision was: Mr. Karry and his home should be guarded ev- ery night for six months, and Miss John- son must not be seen in company of any man for the same length of time. This, it is hoped, will be an example for the other teachers and stu- dents, and it is thought with such enforcement of laws there will exist at R. H. S. a very pious group of students and teachers. WAR DECLARED ON ARABIA Continued From Page 1 tist, now a very influ- ential shiek of Arabia, when in a potato mash- er duel he slipped on a banana peel and caused his Czecky opponent to fall in the way of a weary camel, which po- litely lay down on him, and under no considera- tion would the camel arise until it was re- freshed. Alas, the poor Czech is before his judge and Paulez Goldezbersh has more to think of than Helen Brimstone as he faces the vengeance of the people.

During our freshman year one of our group won the county Latin contest, and one of our boys took first place in the Goodfellowship contest. In our sophomore year we had several men on the varsity team. One of the girls had the lead in the operetta, which is quite an honor for a sophomore. One of our members again won the county Latin contest. This year we entered R. H. S. with sixty-seven juniors. Many honors have been added to the list. Several had leading parts in the operetta, and many of our boys par- ticipated in athletics. One of our girls won Hrst place in the local vocal tryouts. Another one of our girls won second place in the Goodfellowship contest this year. Our class is full of pep',, and we plan to do more than our bit to bring honor to old R. H. S. Nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Page Twcilty-two
