      The fingertip-length veil, which was also worn at the weddings of two other members of the family, will fall from a headdress of real orange blossoms.

      The ceremony will be performed by Rev. Heber St. Clair Mahood.

      Bride Is Local Teacher

      In college, she was affiliated with Epsilon Lambda Sigma. During the past year she has taught at the Gault school in Santa Cruz.

      Everett S. Hillard, who will wait for Miss Byrne to come down the aisle to say their "'I do's" together, was graduated at Santa Cruz high school, and has been in the army for three years. He served in Europe and was in the "Battle of the Bulge."

      Hillard To Continue Studies
