and Mrs. Charles T. Fisher, of Boston who'll speak her marriage vows on Thursday, June 17, to Lieut. John Leonard Drummy, son of Mr. and Mrs.

William Joseph Drummy, of Lexington, Ky. The little bride-elect, who is as attractive as she is gracious, is pretty excited on a couple of counts at this point. In the first place, she has just heard that John is planning to arrive in Detroit on Sunday or Monday, arid in the second place, there's the business of getting prepared for life in a small Texas town. It's in Pecos that she and John will be living shortly after their marriage. Intermingled, however, with her dreams of sage brash, cactus and airplanes (the bridegroom-elect is an instructor at the Air Field in Pecos) are matters of a frothier nature, among them the party given yesterday afternoon by Franny Fisher out at the Detroit Golf Club.

Each senior has the priviledge, if you please, of telling her sophomore hostess what kind of sandwiches to bring providing little red stamps don't have to be used to buy the fillings. How to keep the cokes cold will be sort of a problem but the gals have figured out that they can dangle 'em in the drink. OTHER SOPHOMORES besides Nancy Joos. who had the bright idea for the outing are Virginia Roney, Eileen Hickey, Susan Carey, Maureen Flanagan, Gloria Moriarty, Carol Chaput, Shirley Hewitt and Beverly Skillman.
