Miss Betty Kleinstick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kleinstick, exchanged marriage vows with Orville Van Slett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Van Slett, in a double ring ceremony, Tuesday morning. The Rev. John Novak read the service in Sr. Mary‘s rectory, at Greenwood.

The bride wore a pink wool suit, a small black hat, trimmed with pink roses and the bride and her attendants all had black gloves and purses. Her corsage was made of pink gladioli and white narcissi.
