SAUNDERS-DINES
CEREMONY TODAY
The marriage of Miss Mary Jane
Saunders to William Ralph Dines
was solemnized this morning at
7:30 o'clock, Mountain time, at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Mark Ashton Saunders,
440 South Vine street, City of Kewanee,
County of Henry, State of
Illinois, United States of America.
This promising young couple was
united in the holy bands of matrimony
in a delightful no-ring ceremony,
the Rev. Father Owen Houston
presiding. The house was attractively
decorated with milk-weed
and geraniums in keeping with the
season. The piano bench, banked
Avith ragweed and blue grass, comprised
their clever and original improvised
altar. Only the relatives
of the immediate family were present,
the only attendants being the
K. H. S. 1930 football team. Just
preceding the ceremony a solo,
"Rescue the Perishing", was sung
by Mr. Joseph Thomson, accompanied
by Warren Rouse. Immediately
following this selection, Mr.
Barney Peter Yanuskus gave a
short talk on "The Good Old Football
Days". Among other things,
he told of how the training rules
were kept "way back when". He
gave adequate proof that smoking
was new to him when he was
forced to bring his talk to a close,
having choked on the ninth cigarette.
Mr. Yanuskus was later compelled
to leave when he became ill
on his second cup of milk at the
wedding breakfast. The football
men, remembering the unusual
feed of 1930, gave a rousing cheer
in behalf of the young bride just
before the ceremony.
At the first strains of "Around
the Corner", the blushing bride galloped
joyfully down the stairs. She
was charming in daring black gym
bloomers and a white middie. Her
two charming little flower boys,
Chalmer Price and Harold Strom,
danced before her, each carrying a
lily. At the tune of "Lead Kindly
Light", the groom, Mr. Dines, appeared.
He was preceded by the
dashing young Wendell Philip
Swain, who carried the minister's
fee of fifty cents on a pin cushion.
The bride and bridegroom met at
the altar where they were united in
sacred wedlock. In all, the flashlight
ceremony was very impressive.
Immediately following the nuptials
a light breakfast was served

NEW FRATERNITY
HAS INITIATION
A member of the Jeering Journal
staff was privileged to be present
at one of the most unusual and impressive
ceremonies ever to be held
in this vicinity when he attended
recently the grand installation and
initiation of the new fraternity just
organized at the Kewanee High
School, namely, the Royal Order
of Asses. Since the service and
ritual have been declared secret, he
has no right to divulge them, but
he has succeeded in obtaining permission
to publish their constitution,
which is as follows:
"Grand Chapter of Physics Lodge
No. 304.
"We, the Kewanee High School
Physics class, with the exception of
one lowly junior in our midst, do
hereby create and establish an organization
which shall henceforth
and forever and even after that be
known as the Royal Order of Asses,
on this the 26th day of February,
B. G. (before graduation), 1931,
having been christened the same
by the Grand Exhaulted (or Exhausted)
Eugene Stevens, B. A.
(Bachelor of Asses).
"Hereafter we do work and meet
every eighth day of the week all
during the year, starting with the
32nd day of January and continuing
to the 96th of December (Ilr2).
Our flower will be Pillsbury's. Our
incense will be (H,S) hydrogen sulfide.
Our emblem will be the
horse's cousin's hind quarters.
"To which we do set our sign
and seal. A. M. (Another Mess)."
(A picture of the charter members
will be found in the rotogravure
section.)
NEW ARRIVAL IN CITY
On the 19th of April, Kewanee
was the scene of an event that will
probably change the history of the
world. The following morning Ross
Anderson was seen about the town
passing out cigars and cigarettes

as the members of both

smile extended across his countenance
from ear to ear. The Ander-
organizations will testify.
sons were the proud parents of a
baby boy! Joy reigned supreme,
but even papa was forced to admit
that, judging from all appearances,
Dean Frederick would probably
make a better cheer leader than he
Avould quarterback.

YOUNG BLOODS
HAVE MEETING
The Aveekly meeting of the A. J.
C.'s was held this noon. A delicious
lunch of toothpicks and salt Avas
enjoyed by all those present. The
meeting Avas called to order by the
president, Warren Rouse. Jane
Moore, acting as treasurer, took up
the dues, Avhich are used to further
the campaign against mosquitoes in
the Sahara desert. Chalmer Price
preferred sending the money up to
Alaska to help keep the Eskimos
warm, but his motion was overruled.
The debate question, "Whether
or Not Warren Rouse Should Marry
Addie Baethke," was discussed
freely and fully, and the supreme
ruler, Jane Moore, decided that he
should marry her and let Adelaide
go on with her career as caretaker
at the Home for Deaf Dogs.
Anyone wishing to attend these
uplifting meetings is requested to
find the meeting place—it's somewhere
Avithin the limits of Henry
county.
RIVALRY CROWS
AMONG CLUBS
The J. B. C.'s. an organization
that has long served to further its
noble purposes in the portals of
K. H. S. (supply the purpose if you
can; the reporter Avas unable to
understand it as the president dictated
it to him in pig-Latin—and
any kind of Latin is a danger signal
to him). Any Avay, this organization
is fully convonced that it
was the first of its kind on the
campus, and that the A. J. C.'s
modelled their club after it, although
the latter group admits no
such thing. However, it is fine for
good clean competition, as each
club is continually inveigling the
other into stimulating contests, the
most recent one being that of seeing
which member, Warren Rouse
of the J. B. C.'s, or Margaret Ann
Curtis of the A. J. C.'s, could most
accurately count the number of
"ands" which Mi'. Robinson uttered
in his last lecture on school spirit.
Many worth-while developments
Up at the track meet at Ottawa
a few weeks ago, Warren Rouse
brought home a strange story. In
his own words he said: "Well, I
guess the team was a little outclassed.
At least one of the fellows
from Joliet threw the discus
farther than I threw the javelin."
