To many of us you are still a little girl, hopping and skipping about at play. To others you are still the gangly -legged girl in the dirndl skirt. Some remember you as a brilliant high school girl, while others see you as a kind and successful teacher. But we, your friends, who have watched you pass through all these stages know you simply as Ruth, a good friend and com- panion We have found that at work or play you enter whole- heartedly into the task' at hand, to carry it to a successful clim- ax, so we feel your future hus- band is a very lucky fellow to have such a capable and willing helpmeet. Our feelings are a mixture of joy and sadness, joy in the fact that you are soon to have a home of your own, and sadness in that, that home will take you from our midst. How- ever marriage and a happy home are every young girl's dream and we hope and feel as- sured that all your dreams will be fulfilled in your new home in Woodstock. ' So on behalf of your friends and neighbours assembled here we ask you to accept these gifts as a token of the respect in which you are held.
