Little did he realize that he would soon have this one special waitress waiting on him. We've watched you grow from the tiny baby your Mom and Dad brought home to now, soon to be a happy bride on your father's arm. You've survived crinolines, curls, fancy frills and starched bows. These didn't faze you if you decided to climb on the roof of the little shed behind the hall on the night of a garden party or anywhere else the other boys and girlS were going: Needless to say, there were often torn dresses and scratched arms and legs, but Mother still persevered to make a lady out of you, You Were always full of life, Lunch was served during a social hour of visiting.

You have taken a very active part in this community with your singing, choir, C.G.I.T., Young Peoples, and you always had time to take a carload to the movies or Family Paradise.

Now, we couldn't let you go without some advice - When you marry Ken - love him, After y ou marry him - study hiin. If he is honet, honour him.,• If he is generous, appreciate him. When he is sad, cheer him.When. lie is cross, ignore him. When he is talkative, listen to him. When he is quarrelsome, keep -out of his way. If he is noble, praise him. If he is confidential, encourage him. If he is secretive, trust him. If he cares not for pleasure, coax him. If he favors society, accompany. When he deserves it, kiss him. Let him think how well you understand him, but never let him know you manage him. And now, as you view and. make use of these gifts, which are given as a slight expression of our love, may you think of us one by one. All the very best to you and Ken. Your friends.
