UNKNOWN NEWSPAPER none
  A July 30 wedding is planned for Miss Lois Robinson and Lawrence H. Somers. 
Both will graduate from the University of California in June and plan to leave 
Berkeley soon afterwards for nuptials in Hawaii.
  Miss Robinson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Selwyn A. Ribinson* of Kauai. 
She is affiliated with Alpha Phi sorority on the campus.
  Mr. Somers is a member of the Zeta Psi group. He is the son of Mrs. Leslie 
Van Zandt Somers of Berkeley who plans to leave for Hawaii in July.
  An afternoon service at the Waimea Foreign church, Waimea, Kauai, will be 
followed by a reception at the Makaweli home of the bride elect’s parents.
  Bridal attendants will include Miss Robinson’s sorority sister, Miss 
Marjorie Goodwin and Miss Helen Marie Sheehan of Kauai, a Kappa Alpha Theta at 
the University of Washington.
  The bride elect’s brother, Warren Robinson, will be best man. He is a Alpha 
Delta Phi at the university.
  Ushers will be Russell Robinson, a cousin of Miss Robinson’s, who attends 
Menlo Junior college, and three Zeta Psi fraternity brothers of the 
prospective benedict. They are Joe Burroughs, Bill Sharon and John Hoogs.
  Miss Robinson’s father, Selwyn Robinson, is the manager of the Gay & 
Robinson ranch on Kauai. She is the granddaughter of Mrs. Aubrey Robinson and 
the late Mr. Robinson of Makaweli and Niihau.
  Her great-great-grandmother was Mrs. Elizabeth Sinclair, the widowed 
Scotswoman who brought her entire family to Hawaii and settled at Makaweli in 
1863.
  Mrs. Sinclair and her husband had originally left Scotland and settled in 
New Zealand where they raised their family. After the death of her husband, 
the widow sold her property; loaded a sailing vessel with cattle, lumber for a 
house and household furnishings and set sail for Vancouver to start a new home.
  In their floating home, the family wintered in Hawaii. King Kamehameha IV 
persuaded them to stay and sold them the large property at Makaweli on Kauai 
and the island of Niihau.
