KENDRICK-THAMES WEDDING PARTY HONORED
Among the delightful parties given in honor of the Kendrick-Thames wedding was a banquet tendered Mr. Kendrick and his bride-to-be by the Ramblers. Mr. Kendrick has long been a member of this popular club and after many speeches by his club brothers he responded with a very touching talk, wishing the continued success of the organization.
The banquet table was decorated in the colors of the club, different novelties being placed at each guest plate as souveniers [sic] of the occasion. The following Ramblers and young ladies were present:
Claud Kendrick, Miss Inez Thames, George Spencer, Miss Rosa Belle Zoll, Robert Boggan, Miss Bertha Acosta, Hewlett Parker, Miss Lamoine Lavender, Fred Hahn, Miss Ella Mae Lawley, Martin Scott, Miss Essie Mae Webber, Harry Watkins, Miss Amanda Parker, Jack Hale, Miss Lillian Fern, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Foster, Mr. and Mrs. James Armstrong, Jessie Duke, Miss Elsie Fuller, William Lee, Miss Hopkins, Walter Blackwell, Miss Florrie Webb, John Rogers, Miss Vivian Dill.
