Weddingos Take
Place During
Spring Season
Announce Betrothal Of
Louise French, '36, To
Dewitt Snyder, '36.
The spring hplida) season was
marked with especially impressive
weddings and announcements of en-
gagements of students and alumni
of the University.
One of the loveliest ceremonies was
that of the former Virginia A. Burt,
daughter' of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Burt, Ann Arbor, and Richard Mont-
gomery Shick, son of Mr. and Mrs.
John B. Shick, Laporte, Ind.
The ceremony was read by the Rev.
R. Edward Sayles in the Ethel Foun-
tain Hussey Room of the League in
front of the ivory mantel which har-
monized with the all-white gowns of
the wedding party, and the Bermuda
lilies, white snapdragons and stocks,
on two white fluted standards at
either side of the fireplace banked
with palms and huckleberry foliage.
Prof. Arthur Hackett sang "I Love
You Truly," before the wedding, and
"Beloved It Is Morn" afterwards. Vir-
ginia Hunt, '38, played the wedding
march as the bride, escorted by her
father, took her place with the at-
tendants.
Miss Burt chose a model of white
peau d'ange lace with a square neck,
sleeves pointed over the wrist, and a
long train for her wedding dress. Her
tulle veil extended to the waist in
front, swept down beyond the train at
the back, from a quaint cap, flaring
at the sides, and made of rose pointe
lace from her mother's wedding gown.
She carried a bouquet of white or-
chids and lilies of the valley.
The gowns of the attendants were
also in white. Elizabeth Ann Shick,
sister of the bridegroom, was the
maid of honor while Betty Aigler, '35,
Mary Neal, '37, and Edith Hamilton,
'37, were the bridesmaids.
Mr. Shick chose Richard Lyons,
'35M, for his best man. The ushers
were: Walter Work, '35M, Russel R.
de Alvarez, '35M, Kendall B Holmes,

'35, Dan Bulmer, '35M, James Logie,
'35M, and Philip Bourland, '35M. '
After a trip through the-South, Mr.
and Mrs. Shick will be at home in
Ann Arbor. Mr. Shick will receive
his degree in medicine in June. He
is affiliated with Phi Gamma Delta
and Nu Sigma Nu fraternities. Mrs.
Shick is a member of Delta Gamma
sorority.
An engagement of interest that was
announced during the holidays is that
of Louise H. French, '36, to DewittI
C. Snyder, '36. The announcement
was made by Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Per-
kins, Bay City. The wedding is
planned for a few weeks after the
close of school.
Miss French isa member of Kappa
Kappa Gamma sorority, and Mr. Sny-
der is affiliated with Chi Psi frater-
nity.
