School Days was sung before Loura Cook gave the invocation followed by the meal, served by Gallatin Chapter XIXI. This was the sixth year they have catered for the banquet. A nice meal was prepared. Sisters Ruth Ann Parton and Tokey Sue Gardner have graciously agreed to cater our meal next year.
Memorial tribute "Snowflakes"was given by Francie Toney in memory of classmates: Alice Kober, Carolyn McGinnis Terry, Helen Uthe Becker, Catherine Schoonover Wolfe, Ruth Hibler, Merle Carey and Patty Schroff Estes. Loura Cook gave a reading at the close for the deceased that were lost during the past year.
The program was music by Ivan and Ruth Ann Parton and Loura Cook. Jewell Pendleton had a drawing for potted plants and ceramic items, enjoyed by those receiving them.
