The ceremony was performed May. fifth at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Corpus Christi, Texas. Rev. John Schwer, former missionary priest of Albany Ore. officiated. Mrs. T. W. Watts, sorority sister of the bride, was matron of honor and Ensign Watts, a fraternity bro ther of the groom, served as best man. The bride attended University of Oregon and is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi. Mr. Boydell is also a graduate of the university where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta. He now is a naval aviator in the United States Naval Reserve. After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Boydell left for Jacksonville, Fla. where Ensign Boydell is to be stationed. t n I sit . . . Marsh the military police agree that instead of ruining discipline, 3.2 beer sold in Army camps pro vides our soldiers with a mii.1 form of relaxation without im pairing their efficiency. Well, Pete allowed that the chaplains and military polico are a pretty good authority on what's right for soldiers. I've no ticed lately he's been confining his remarks to the broader phases of strategy.
