Birthday Party
Saturday was the 8th birthday of John Peterson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, and the event was the occasion for his parents inviting several of his little friends in to spend the day with him. The time was very pleasantly spent by the youngsters in playing games and having a good time. At noon an elegant birthday dinner was served, which was greatly enjoyed by all present. On departing the guests wished John many more happy birthdays. Those present were Gerald Surprise, John Eskridge, John Iddings, Harold Harrington, Elery Nichols, Donald Petry, John Peterson, Charles Peterson and Miss Gladys Brown.
