The family and friends of Mr. Marion Green surprised him on Monday night, April 4th, by gathering in his home for a party. After greetings and registering, Mrs. D. O. Smith, conducted games such as "Going Fishing," "Spinning the Bottle," Barnyard," and "Chewing the String for an Easter Egg."

Mr. Green cut the birthday cake, followed by his four brothers, who have passed the three score years with him. Delicious punch was served with the cake.
