A Family Affair: It was "all in the family" yesterday afternoon at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church when six-month-old Anne Despina Sophocles was christened in the colorful traditional rites of the family faith. Rev. Michael Sophocles (right) of Chester, Pa., the grandfather, officiated, while the father, Rev. S. M. Sophocles, who is shown tightly grasping his daughter, assisted. Holding the baptismal sheet and blanket ready to receive the infant, who was wholly immersed in the font, are the godparents, Mrs. John Farris of Ypsilanti, and Theodore Dames.
