Mrs. Ted Thompson announced the program and introduced the wedding party of forty years ago: Eleanor Blanchard Anderson, bridesmaid; Ray Hurley, best man; Mary Toll Bergeson, flower girl; Edith Rosene Brooks, soloist; and Edna Hughes, pianist.

Linda Hughes Meyers, niece of Mrs. Nolan, sang several numbers popular in the 30's. Mrs. Paul Beckman and Mrs. LeRoy Mick closed the program with a piano duet.
