The outdoor movies will be short travel and educational films, to be shown Friday nights in Fowler Grove.
Danforth Works Overtime As 18 Scramble To Altar
The noon rush at the corner of Mississippi and Jayhawk drive is nothing compared to the traffic down the aisle of Danforth chapel where closely-scheduled final week weddings will be solemnized.
One glance at the black wedding book in the Chancellor's office led one observer to predict that the heaviest rice crop in the state would be sowed along the chapel's front walk.
Next will be Betty Parks, College junior, and Ensign Irwin G. Chronister's wedding at 4 p.m. The final ceremony of the day will be that of Norma Huff, College junior, and Edwin Grey, College senior.
This heyday for ministers and florists (who have the job of changing the decorations every hour) begins Sunday with the wedding of Ann Trosper and Stephen Underwood.
The first two weddings listed in the chapel book for Saturday have only the names "Thompson" at 3 p.m. and McBride" at 4 pm. As there are exactly 20 unmarried Thompsons listed in the student directory, and six McBrides, it isn't certain who is getting married.
Parade Begins June 12
Thursday, June 12, processionalals will begin at 11:30 a.m. when Mary McKevitt, College senior, will become the bride of Joe Beeler, Jr., Engineering junior.
At 5 p.m., the ceremony of Elaine
Lovers of "Because" and "Oh Promise Me" should hear their favorites to their hearts content Sunday when the two way processionalals get under way.
Carlson, College junior, and Robert Crawley, Engineering sophomore, will begin, to be followed at 8 p.m. by that of Betty Kieffer, College junior, and Glenn Lessdenen, senior in the School of Medicine.
One hour later the strains of "Lohengrin" will cure Cathrine Osgood and William Perkins, College sophomore, to the altar.
First down the aisle at 3 p.m. will be Marilyn Rosenau, College junior, and Harry Livingood, College freshman.
Although the chapel weddings will necessarily be small, they will vary from informal street dresses to 6-foot bridal veils.
