SCHOOL PRINCIPAL MARRIED.
MISS MILLEN OF FAIRHAVEN.

Miss Millen, principal of Fairhaven High School, was married by license last week, to Councillor D. H. Speight, of York. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Canon, Hawkins, assisted by the Rev. T, W. Pym, and was of a private character. The Prayer Book used by the bride was that used by her great-grandfather in 1811.

Only a few members of the family were present. On the return from church the pupils drank the health of the bride and bridegroom. Mr. and Mrs. Speight had a hearty send-off from Ansdell Station with fog-signals and ringing cheers. A small fancy dress dance for the pupils took place at the school in the evening.

Mrs. Speight will conduct the school exactly as before, with the assistance of her sisters, Miss Millen and Miss Agnes M. Millen. St.Annes Express, 26 October 1910
