GEO. SEYDLER NEW MAYOR
OF GONZALES
In a simple ceremony, per-
formed in the Sts. Cyril &
Methodius Church Sunday
morning, at 10:30, Miss Anne
Moczygemba became the bride
of Cadet George Ulrich, Rt.
Rev. Mons. L. P. Netardus of-
ficiating. The altar, bedecked
with white iris* candytuft and
larkspur, and flanked by bas-
kets holding similar blooms and
tied with white maline bows,
made a beautiful setting for
the impressive rites.
To the strains of the wed-
ding march, played by Mrs. F.
M. Wagner, accompanied by
Miss Irene Kloss on the violin,
the bride entered the church
on the arm of her father, who
gave her in marriage. She was
attired in a suit of dusty rose
with hat and gloves of the
same shade and purse and
shoes of beige. Her corsage was
an orchid and she carried a
white prayer book
with stephanotis.
The bride’s attendant was
Miss Mary Lee Fietsam, who
wore a dress of black and
white with accessories to
match. Her corsage was of gar-
denias and stephanotis.
The groom wore a U. S. Corps
uniform. His best man, Francis
Holbrook, wore a tan suit with
a carnation boutonniere.
At the nuptial Mass, the bri-
dal party received Holy Com-
munion. Following Mass, an in-
formal reception was held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J.
Fietsam after which the happy
couple left on a trip to Wichita
Falls, Oklahoma City and
other points.
The bride, only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. L. Moczygemba of
Hobson, is well and favorably
known in Shiner. She finished
her grammar and high school
education at St. Ludmila’s Aca-
demy and for the past two and
a half years has been employed
i i the office of the Purity
ureamery here. For a number
vbf years she has made her
home with the Fietsam family.
The groom, only son of Mr.
and Mrs. B. A. Ulrich of San An
tonio, is a young man of pleas-
ing personality. He is stationed
at Sheppard Field, Wichita
Falls.
We extend hearty congratu-
lations and best wishes to the
worthy couple.

AMERICANS ASKED TO
CONTRIBUTE BOOKS
TO ARMED FORCES
In his press conference on
Tuesday, President Roosevelt
named Friday, April 17th
as Victory Book Day. The Pre-
sident, at this time, asked
Americans everywhere to con-
tribute as many good books as
they can spare to the men in
the armed forces, the soldiers,
sailors, and marines at home
and overseas who, while fight-
ing and training to fight, still
showered! have time to read and appre-
ciate a good book.
It is very valuable for the
morale of a fighting man to
have accessible good books to
give him courage and the know
ledge to fight. It would be dif-
ficult for the average soldier to
obtain good reading matter
without the public at home
helping—by giving books.
Local depots in all cases are
the local libraries. It is advised
that stores, milk companies
bakeries and other local servi-
ces have their delivery men, on
that Friday, in their contacts
with the public, offer to carry
the books to the receiving de-
pots.
Your cooperation in this
matter is asked, as a good book
may prove a soldier’s most pre-
cious friend during lonely
hours.

tance attended the Ulrich-Moc-

High School Senior
Play A Sell-Out
Playing to a packed house
Monday night, the Seniors of
Shiner High School performed
in excellent manner James
Parker’s “Romance in a Board-
ing House.”
Emily Kubecka, as the hero-
ine, was excellent in her por-
trayal of Mary Anne Smith. A
more beautiful leading lady;
could not have been chosen.
Wendell Howard, as Mr.
Smith, caused wave on wave
of laughter as his antics as the
“loafer husband” showed ex-
ceptional ability.
Ivie Lee Sommerlatte, as
the mother of Mary Ann**
showed all the affection and
worry of the modem house-
wife.
Bill, the jilted suitor, was
outstanding in his role. This
part was admirably portrayed
by August Darilek.
Miss McGillicuddy tried her
best to capture a man during
the evening’s performance, but
had to give up her best chance
to Hettie, the Hired girl. Min-
ola Huber was Miss McGilli-
cuddy, while Bernice Matus
was excellent as Hettie.
Clarence Sembera and Ear-
line Kroulik were Mr. and Mrs.
Throttlebutton of New York.
They interpreted their aristo-
cratic parts to perfection.
Tom Nowlin, the hero, dis-
played his ability as an actor
and also as a lover when he
won the girl of his dreams.
Laddie Janda, the Duke of
Sussex, had a hard time with
two women trying for him. He
made a good member of the
Nobility.
Florine Dolezal, won the
hearts of the audience in her
lovable role as Mrs. Benson, the
deaf boarder. Her inability to
hear caused many humorous re
marks to be made.
The three numbers present-
ed between acts were beautiful
and well performed. The old
fashioned Square Dance caus-
ed many minds to wander back
a few years.
Mrs. Pete Gehrels accompa-
nied the different musical num
bers in excellent manner. She
was presented with a beautiful
bouquet of flowers by the Class
for her work in aiding them.
Mrs. Edwin Pohler, the di-
rectress of the play, deserves
much praise for her untiring
efforts to make the perform-
ance the outstanding success
which it was.
