Chris Lord
I Spotlight
A Senior Princess of Job's
Daughters is Chris Lord, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lord, and
in May she will be installed as
Honored Queen in which capacity
she will ~rve for six months. The
tollowing spring she intends to
enroll in Peterson's Business
School in Seattle.
She plays clarinet in the band
and her studies include sociology,
speech, civics, and math, with
speech as a favorite. She hopes to
learn data processing.
Fond of cats is Miss Lord,
wffo is at present limited to five
felines. "I used to have a lot
more," she says, "but they got to
be a pro~." She has a dog,
also, and one gerbil.
At one time, as a science
project, she had a pair of the little
creatures, but as they reproduced
every 24 days and as each litter
numbered from two to 12
offspring, she decided that just
one gerbil was sufficient.
Chris was born in Shelton on
Dec. 5, 1952, and she has an older
half-brother. She likes sports, and
participated in Powder Puff
Football. She usually spends her
summers salmon fishing at
Westport, and she enjoys
smelting.
"I hope to visit Maine next
summer," Chris stated.

I had a perfectly wonderful
New Year's eve last year, marred
only by a minor but rather
embarrassing incident. May it
never happen again.
It started when, in my normal
state of solitary splendor, I was
preparing for the evening's
festivities. I was donning a
delightful new dress styled with
long and fluidly flowing sleeves
and with a zipper up the back
which was long but neither fluid
nor flowing.
I have worked out a very
satisfactory system for dealing
with such dresses. As I am

It was then that I discovered,
to my utter horror, that it was the
long and fluidly flowing sleeve
that was entrapped. I confess that
I panicked. The pain in my
dislocated shoulder was as
nothing to the mental agonies I
endured as I visualized the
humiliating possibilities of my
predicament.
When one's pipes burst or
one's car sulks one can call on a
neighbor, but who could start the
New Year by facing his fellow
man in the wee small hours while
straight-jacketed in her own
dancing dress?
The dawning of the first day
of the New Year found me still
locked in mortal combat with my
zipper. If I had failed to wrestle
my way out of the arm-bar, at
least the zipper knew I'd put up a
fight.

a mighty sucking-in of the
diaphragm and a lengthy holding
of the breath, and I have
sometimes blacked-out in the
process.
On this occasion, however, all
went well. My real problem
presented itself upon my return
to my home. I unzip myself in
much the same manner as I
accomplish the zipping, simply
reversing the process. It was after
I had pushed the zipper down
from the top and had placed my
right arm behind me to pull from
below that I ran into difficulties.
It stuck.
"Oh-oh", I thought. "Now

Tupper of Edmonds.
The bride, whose white satin
princess-line gown was styled with
long pointed sleeves and built in

father. Lace embroidered with
seed pearls trimmed the high
collar, the empire waistline and
the front of her frock. Satin
petals and seed pearls held her silk
illusion veil, and she carried
yellow daisy mums with orange
rose buds.
In the bridal shoe was a
six-pence brought from England,
and the bride wore a 100-year-old
locket worn by her Grandmother
Gwinnett on her wedding day
and subsequently by all brides in
the family.
Matron of honor Mrs. Kraig
Kennedy, cousin of the bride, and
bridesmaids Mrs. Tom Jeffries and
Mrs. Steve Witcraft wore identical
dresses and hats, and each carried
a single gold pom-pon
chrysanthemum. Their moss green
floor-length dresses were styled
with high collars and long,
gathered sleeves. Gold and green
flowers of embroidered lace
trimmed the empire waistlines,
collars and cuffs. Hats were
Mr. and Mrs.
fashioned of gathered bows of
dress material to which was
attached green net.
Candles were lighted by Steve
Boothe and Bill Hillieary and the
250 guests were seated by Steve
