No. 21 THE WEDDING ON SATURDAY Miss Norcross Becomes Mrs. Reichart. DR. HULLEY CONDUCTED RITES Auditorium was Beautifully Decorated Many People were Present. On Saturday evening last, Miss Edith Norcross and Mr. Otis Reichart were married in the university auditorium. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Hulley, assisted by Rev. J. E. Oates, paste of the Baptist church of DeLand. Probably few of the people of DeLand had ever realized how very beautiful the auditorium could be made to look by the help of the palms and other tropical plants that are to be had in this land of flowers. The rostrum was heavily and beautifully decorated with bamboo, potted plants, palm leaves and wistaria. Shortly after eight o'clock the bridal procession entered the auditorium from the rear. First came the two ushers, Messrs. Stanley Woodward and Stanley Moffatt; then came Miss Lillian Monday and Miss Preston, attendants of the bride, one handsomely gowned in blue and one in pale pink. Closely following Miss Preston came the three dainty little flower girls, Misses Mary Hulley, Gladys Moffatt and Catherine Haynes. Miss. Norcross entered tbe auditorium on the arm of Prof. G. Prentiss Carson, whose duty it was to give away the bride. Her gown was a beautiful creation of rare India cloth. They were met at the foot of the rostrum by the groom and his best man, Prof. E. G. Baldwin. As the procession moved up the aisle the charming little flow er girls sang a verse of the Wedding Hymn in their sweet, childish voices. Prof. Morse was at the organ and charmed the friends of the bride and groom, who were present, by his delightful reudition of the following selections. : "Laus Deo," from Dubois Marriage Mass. "Nuptial Song," by Dubois. "Introduction to Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin," by Wagner. Mendelssohn's "Wedding March." During the ceremony he played a soft and appropriate improvisation. After the ceremony a very delightful reception was held at the home of the bride and the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Reichait were given an opportunity to wish them every happiness in their married life. Mrs. Reichart has many true friends among the faculty and the student body of the university and The Collegiate wishes to extend very hearty wishes for a happy life to these two whose marriage has been so essentially connected with Stetson. BASE BALL WITH U. OF F. Stetson Won Both Games Total Score, 12-4. TE1M WAS WELL ENTERTAINED The U. of F. Boys Played a Clean Game— Everything Satisfactory. Y. W. C. A. After the yearly elections had taken place the remaining time was spent in the discussion of "Character Building," led by Miss Cramer. Miss Webster gave to the members a selection taken from Oliver Wendell Holmes, whose closing verse "Build thou more stately mansions Oh, my soul, As the swift seasons roll," expressed his view of "Character Building." The hour was both profitable and pleasant. Messrs. Wilder, Walter Carlton and Durrance indulged in a camping- trip down on tbe river last week. Game is said to be very plentiful, the boys having made several successful shots nto browsing herds of mosquitos. l Last Thursday at 2 :15 the University team left DeLand to xday two inter-collegiate games of baseball with the University of Florida, located at Lake City, going via Palatka on the Atlantic Coast line and Georgia Southern and Florida railroads. We arrived in Lake City at 9 o'clock and were given pleasant quarters in the Blanche Hotel. We were shown every courtesy by the U. of F. boys, who gave us an informal dance in the excellent Flagler gymnasium out at the university on Friday evening, and a very pleasant evening was passed. On Saturday morning some of the Stetson boys went out to the range and watched the U. of F. boys at target practice, a feature we have not at Stetson. Some good scores were made, in one instance two bullseyes in succession at a distance of 300 yards. FIRST GAME. The first game was called on Thompson's field Friday at 3:20 with Pelot in the box for Stetson and Carter for U. of F. First Inning.—U. of F. chose the outs.
