KATHRYN DRENNON PLEDGES TROTH WITH ROLAND JAMES MILES AT CHAPEL Culminating a romance that had its inception during high school days, the marriage of Miss Kathryn Ann Drennon, daughter of Mrs. Evah Drennon of Long Beach, and Mr. William M. Drennon of Downey, to Roland James Miles, S1/c (PhoM), son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren L. Ashleigh of 809 North Clementine street, was solemnized last Saturday evening at 7 o'clock at Capilla de San Antonio with the Rev. Hayden Swift Sears, pastor of White Temple Methodist church, of which both the contracting parties are members, performing the double-ring ceremony before 80 friends and relatives. The double rings were identical to each other. Kneeling on a white satin cushion, the young couple pledged their vows before an altar beautifully decorated with white stocks, sweetpeas, gladioli and delphinium, with lighted tapers in tall candelabra casting a soft glow over the setting as the pastor read the sacred rites. The bride, given in marriage by her father, was lovely in a white slipper satin gown en-train made with lace bodice with long sleeves of the lace, sweetheart neckline and lace tier insets in the front of the skirt. Her full-length veil falling in soft folds was held to her head by a heart shaped lace hat trimmed with orange blossoms. A single lavender purple throated orchid resting on a white Bible and enhanced with white velvet streamers, made up the bridal bouquet. For sentimental accents, the bride wore a single strand of pearls, a gift from her groom; for something old, a cameo ring belonging to her maternal great-grandmother; something borrowed, the beautiful veil she wore and for something new, a bit of this color tucked away in her dress. Marywood Central To Present 'Song Of Bernadette' The senior class of Marywood Central Catholic high school will present the play based on the famous book, "The Song of Bernadette" by Franz Werfel and which has been made into a motion picture, on the stage of Anaheim Union high school on Friday evening, Feb. 22, with curtain time set for 8:15. After enjoying outstanding success as a book and motion picture, this beautiful and tender story now is dramatized by Jean and Walter Kerr. One unusual but commendable feature of this play is that it deals with a saint's life, not in attitude of awe and respect but in a wholly human attitude. The facts about Bernadette Soubirous are simple and familiar enough. In Loudres, about 80 years ago, the daughter of an impoverished family was visited by a vision of indescribable beauty. She alone saw this Lady of the Grotto. Despite efforts of the church and state to prove the girl a fraud, and despite the fact that County Women’s Clubs Meet for Board Meeting The morning session of the range County Federation of men’s clubs board meeting held in the Congregational church in Buena Park last Friday, 8, at which time the men were privileged to hear an esting talk by Chief of Police Johnson of La Habra on “Jewish Way Safety,” outlining the lems facing the enforcement officers of this state as we those over the entire nation. Mrs. Arthur May, Orange city president, presided over session. She introduced the Paul Neerman, pastor of the congregational church in that who gave the invocation. Mrs. J. A. Henle, county man of motion pictures, graphically presented a paper “Motion Pictures in Mexico” the problems they face in producing pictures and type of material they use in the motion pictures they present. Lois Rees Auer, county chairman, in her charming manner, gave a play review. At the conclusion of the meeting session, the members enjoyed a luncheon served at the men’s clubhouse. To open the afternoon meeting, the contest songs were presented. These will again be presented at the April meeting the award for the best entry be made at the June meeting. Special guests welcomed Mrs. Mary E. Gemmel of San Diego, southern district chairman motion pictures, and Mrs. Isa Churchill, southern district clerk. ing on a white Bible and enhanced with white velvet streamers, made up the bridal bouquet. For sentimental accents, the bride wore a single strand of pearls, a gift from her groom; for something old, a cameo ring belonging to her maternal great-grandmother; something borrowed, the beautiful veil she wore and for something new, a bit of this color tucked away in her dress. Miss Mary Burden, a chum of the bride since baby days, was maid of honor, wearing a formal gown of yellow net over taffeta and carrying a nosegay bouquet of yellow roses and violets. Serving the groom as best man was William A. Spencer of Fullerton, a chum through high school, while Frank D. Ashleigh, brother, and Cpl. Ralph D. Osborn, brother-in-law, were ushers. Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. A. F. Faust, at the console of the organ, played the traditional processional and accompanied Miss Edith Browne who sang the ever beautiful "Always" and "Ave Maria." As the bridal couple pledged their vows and at the conclusion of the ceremony, Miss Browne sang Mallots "The Lord's Prayer." A reception was held at the chapel with the lace covered table centered with a three tiered wedding cake topped with a miniature bride and groom. To bring happiness as they go through life, the bride and groom cut and shared the traditional first piece of cake after which Mrs. Betty Burden Lewis presided, Miss Lois Anne Ashleigh, sister of the groom, served at the punch bowl, Miss Betty Ream in charge of the guest book with the Misses Nancy Belden and Mary Webb lighting the candles and assisting with the serving. Mrs. Ashleigh and Mrs. Drennon each wore for the occasion, black afternoon dresses with black accessories and a corsage of Talisman roses. The bride is a graduate of Anaheim Union high school and attended Fullerton Junior college for one year, then attended Woodbury's school in Los Angeles where she was an honor student. Mr. Miles is a graduate of Fullerton Union high school, attended Art Center in Los Angeles and joined the navy May 7, 1944, and is a photographer with a naval air crew and under overseas orders. The facts about Bernadette Soubirous are simple and familiar enough. In Loudres, about 80 years ago, the daughter of an impoverished family was visited by a vision of indescribable beauty. She alone saw this Lady of the Grotto. Despite efforts of the church and state to prove the girl a fraud, and despite the fact that Bernadette claimed merely that a beautiful woman had appeared to her, all France was swept by the conviction that the Mother of God had appeared on earth. Miss Charlotte Yorba, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Yorba of Santa Ana Canyon, will portray Bernadette while other leading parts will be played by Pat Heffron and Pat Kirsch of Anaheim, Claire McDonald of Placentia, Mary Clare Dominguez of Santa Ana Canyon, Chole Perez of Brea and Mary Osterkamp of Santa Ana. Tickets may be purchased from Marywood students or at Marywood high school at 407 West Broadway street. The admission price is fifty cents, tax included. At last reports ticket sales are going fine and a capacity crowd is expected, this school presenting a fine play each year, building a reputation that demands the highest of respect from its patrons and friends.
