Santa Cruz Sentinel/1945/05/09/Engagement Revealed Sunday

Engagement Revealed Sunday. Betty Edmund, Lt. Perry Olsen At Beautiful Afternoon Party. Miss Betty Edmund, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Edmund of King street, surprised a group of her friends who accompanied her from San Francisco Sunday, by revealing her engagement to Lieut. Perry Olsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Olsen of Oakland. A group of Miss Edmund's Santa Cruz friends who were classmates in the local high school, joined the group at the Pasatiempo home of the Edmunds for an afternoon party. Centering the beautifully appointed serving table was a miniature May Pole and at the end of each streamer was a small card concealed in the heart of a snowball, lettered, "Betty-Perry." The news was a complete surprise to the group and the young girl was showered with good wishes. No definite wedding date has been named. It was a "bridified" party as all white flowers were used: watsonia and snowballs artistically arranged on table and about the room. Mrs. Edmund, assisted by Mary Edmund, twin sister of Betty, served dainty refreshments. Miss Edmund was graduated from the local high school and then enrolled in the University of California at Berkeley. It was there she met her future husband, when both were freshmen at the university. Following two years study at the university Miss Edmund enrolled as a cadet nurse at the U. C. hospital in San Francisco and has been there a year. She affiliated with Chi Omega sorority during her first year at the university, and next Monday night will pass the traditional box of candy to her sorority sisters at Chi Omega house. Lieut. Olsen is a pilot on a B-17 and has completed his missions in Italy, and expects to return home soon.
