"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, June 5, 1917 PUPIL MARRIED A TEACHER. This is one of those secrets that are kept by "telling just the folks and a few close friends." In other words, it isn't a secret at all. And the students of Westport High School are buzzing into one another's ears about the wedding of Miss Miriam SPILLER, who is to be graduated next Thursday, and N. B. MILLER, Jr., a teacher in science in the school. The wedding took place at the home of Miss SPILLER, 3635 Wabash Avenue, Saturday night. Her sister, Miss Grace SPILLER, was married at the same time to H. W. FORD. It was all to be kept quiet, they decided, because of the embarrassment and all that sort of thing. Certain details attendant upon past weddings of teachers and students would thereby be avoided. Of course, Mr. MILLER could tell his best friend, and he'd "keep" it. And Miss SPILLER hadn't the slightest doubt her confidante would never breathe a word. In order to clinch the secrecy, someone told someone else, and he told someone who told it to "The Star." And there you have the story of how it "got out." The young couple will live with the bride's parents until she is graduated; then they will tour the East until school opens next fall. Mrs. MILLER is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. SPILLER. Her husband has taught at Westport four years. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
