Vaden- Wehmeyer Exchange
Vows at St. Thomas Service
Bless Paces Aggies
Miss Mary Eleanor Vaden be
came the bride of Fred L. Weh
meyer of Bryan in the St. Thomas
Episcopal Chapel Saturday at 5
p. m. The Rev. Samuel O. Capers
of Christ’s Episcopal Church, San

Mrs. Weymeyer is the daughter
of Lt. Col. and Mrs. Frank S.

of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Wehmeyer of
Bryan.
Mrs. N. B. Baty, organist, played
the traditional wedding marches
and accompanied Lamar McNew,
who sang “O Perfect Love” before
the ceremony, and “The Lord’s
Prayer” following it.
The bride, given in marriage by
her father, wore a white satin
gown with a white chantilly lace
skirt and jacket over it. The skirt
formed a train _ and the fitted
jacket with an empress collar
buttoned to the waist with pearl
buttons. The long sleeves termin
ated to points on the hands.
Short Veil
A nylon tulle, finger tip-length
veil fell from a crownless polk
bonnet made of white satin and
lace. She carried a white orchid
on a prayer book. Her jewelry was
a pearl necklace with matching ear
rings, a gift from the groom.
The bride was attended by Miss
Phyllis Arhos of Bryan, maid of
honor, and Miss Peggy Wilcoxen
of Galveston and Mrs. John A.
Blasienz, Jr. of Brenham, brides
maids.
Blasienz Best Man
The groom’s attendants were
John A. Blasienz, Jr. of Brenham,
best man, and Frank Vaden III,
brother of the bride, and Jimmy
Maniatis of Bryan, groomsmen.
A reception was held in the
MSC ballroom following the wed
ding. The house party included
Mesdames M. T. Harrington, Joe
E. Davis, W. L. Penberthy, John
Bertrand, and Robert Melcher.
Miss Nancy Mosses was at the
bride’s book and Mrs. Baty played
piano music throughout the recep
tion.
The bride chose a green linen
suit with a purple duster as her
going away costume. She wore
purple accessories and the orchid
from the bridal bouquet.
After a wedding trip to New Or
leans, the couple will make their
home in Cameron where the groom
is employed as an inspecting engi-
eering with Alcoa Aluminum Com
pany in Rockdale.

the low hurdles in 23.5, placed 3rd
in the 100, and ran a leg of the
winning 440 relay for a total of
12 1/9 individual points. Bless is
the defending SWC champ in the
low hurdles.
All-American shot putter and
SWC record holder Darrow Hooper
came through as expected in win
ning his specialties, the shot put
and discus, easily although neither
distance was spectacular on this
chilly March 1 afternoon. He is
also defending SWC champion in
the discus.
13’ 5” Vault Mark
Probably the two finest individ
ual performances came in the pole
vault and mile won by Ags Mal
colm Marks and Jim Blaine re
spectively with standards of 13’ 5”
in the vault and 4:22.9 in the mile.
Blaine, a sophomore, is the SWC
cross-country champ and was un
defeated in cross-country compe
tition last fall.

Besides McWhiter, Houston’s
best performers were Nick Spillios
who took 2nd in the shot and dis
cus and Robex-t Carlson, co-winner
in the high jump with Farmer
soph Marvin Swink.
Paul Leming, Beaumont / senior,
turned in a 14.6 in wim/ing the
high hurdles and also garnered on
2nd in the lows for A&M.
880 and Broad Jumps
Ed Wilmsen and Bill Henry took
their favorite events, the 880 and
broad pump with good marks of
1:57.3 and 22’ 9”.
A couple of pleasant surprises
for A&M track fans were two more
sophomores, Pete Mayeaux and
Verlon Westmoreland. Mayeaux, a
football letterman, won the jave-
line with a throw of 169’ 9”, while
Westmoreland sprinted home in
9:57 in the two mile.
The closest and perhaps best
race of the day saw Ags John De-
Witt and Bob Mays run a very
near dead heat in the perennial
strong A&M event, the 440 yd.
dash.
Basketball and Baseball
DeWitt, a three year letterman
in both basketball and baseball,
Won the event with a 49.1 time.
A&M’s mile relay won easily
in 3.22.1, But Bill Stalter barely
held off Larry McBride of UH on
the 440 relay finish to win in 42.7.
Statler, high point man in last
year’s SWC meet and 100 and 220
champ, was disappointing as he
managed only one place in his
favorite events, that being a 3rd
in the 220. Down with flu and
bothered by soreness in his legs all
winter, Stalter is hoping to come
around in a few weeks.

Take telephone wire, for example. It now
costs 96% more than it did in 1940. Cable
has gone up 100%. Poles, 119%. ^Trucks,
140%. Buildings, over 100%. And so with
almost every item.
Any way you look at it, the cost of provid
ing telephone service has gone up and up.
In spite of all this, we’ve continued to’
expand, and we’ve been able to provide good,
low-cost telephone service that keeps on grow
ing in value, day by day.
Telephone service could cost more than it
does and still, in comparison with other things,
he a big, big bargain.
