ELDA D. HELLER SAYS VOWS IN SAN FRANCISCO
Bridal Party Hears Symphony At high noon Friday, April 2, Miss Elda D. Heller of Two Rivers, exchanged wedding vows with Lieut. Norman E. Schmeichel of the U.S. Army air corps at St. Paulus Lutheran Church, San Francisco, their friends here have
learned. The Rev. F. A. Jacobsen read the ceremony for the daughter of the Hugo Hellers, Two Rivers, route two, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ewald Schmeichel of Two Rivers. Mrs. Robert Hansen, the bride’s cousin, was her only attendant and Robert Hansen was the best man. The young couple, both graduates of Washington high school, Two Rivers, will make their home on the west coast for the time.

Lieut. Schmeichel is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and is a member of the chemical warfare service stationed at the Hammer field air base, Calif. His bride is a graduate of the Wisconsin college of music in Milwaukee, and it was partly on account of her musical interests that the bridal party
attended a concert by the San Francisco symphony orchestra under the baton of Pierre Monteaux at the War Memorial opera house in San Francisco after the wedding ceremony. Later they dined at the Mark Hopkins hotel. Young Mrs. Schmeichel chose a dressmaker suit of aqua accented with brown accessories for her wedding day. She wore a single white orchid. Her attendant, Mrs. Hansen, wore a similar suit of blue with accessories of black, and a corsage of waxy gardenias.
