by Millie Hogoboom Would you believe there is a shortage of dandelion leaves? I had read about the nourishing soups and salads that can be made from their tender leaves, but I did not take this lowly weed seriously until last Friday when I saw lettuce priced 49c per head, and at the same supermarket, I discovered dan- delion leaves selling for 49c a pound. It was then I went look- ing in my own backyard, only to discover their short supply. Isn't that typical? Usually: “April showers bring May flowers,” but the shower which occurred April 1 was in honor of a May bride. Diane Aston was honored by her atten- dants at a variety show and buf- fet luncheon at the Jackson . Township Fire Hall last Sunday. The hostesses’ were Mrs. George Stofila, Marilyn Cigar- ski, Theresa Cigarski, Cathy ‘Aston, and Penni Wesley. Mrs. “Carl Aston, mother of the bride, and Mrs. Charles Kreller, mother of the groom, assisted with the food and decorating for the party. The decorations were “in shades of pink and each table “was adorned with a pink brides- ‘maid doll. Eighty-five guests ‘enjoyed the festivities. © Mrs. Kenneth Kreller of Sweet Valley entertained at a surprise personal shower in honor of Diane Aston, March 4.

Attended by over 200 Miseri- cordians and their escorts, the Ball was held in the Redwood Room of Merrick Hall on cam- pus. Traditionally, freshman and sophomore dances are held on campus, and upperclassmen dances are held in town. The theme for Saturday night’s affair was “Saturday in the Park”, with decorations created around a spring theme of pastel colored crepe paper streamers and strawflowers. A wishing well dominated the dance floor and also served as one of the photo ceniers for the evening. Music for dancing was sup- plied by ‘Tomorrow’ of Hazle- ton. During the evening, the Freshmen were served hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and were given miniature flower baskets as table favors. Chairman of the Inaugural Ball was Linda Cappiello, assisted by several freshman committees. The Inaugural Ball is the last of four major dances held at College Misericordia each aca- demic year, including the Sophomore Cotillion, the Junior Ring Dance, and the Junior- Senior Prom.
