Last Thursday evening was perfect for the annual Garden Party held at the Dan Schlotman home and sponsored by the ladies of the Sheldon Methodist Church. One hundred and seventy-five guests gathered for an enjoyable program of music which had been arranged for their pleasure and entertainment.
The air was warm, the moon high, together with soft lights, throughout the garden, made a very inviting place to spend an evening. Small tables each decorated with miniature bouquets were scattered around the lawn, at which the guests were seated as they arrived. Large baskets of flowers were placed around the garden. The following musical program was given:
Vocal solo: Clara Ingalls.
Piano solo, Patricia McCarty.
Vocal solo, Mrs. Naomi Darrough
Piano solo, Phyllis Schlotman.

Several numbers by the Tonett Players, Marcia Jones, Marcia Schlotman, Joanne Courtright, Jo Ellen Kusch, Mary Jo and Sharon Trummel.
Tuba solo, Irvin Hollingsworth.
Trio, Mrs. Mabel Nichols, Miss Helen Bussert, Irvin Hollingsworth.
At the close of the program refreshments of sandwiches, cookies, and coffee were served.
