The long dining table was beautifully decorated in keeping with the anniversary. A two-tier wedding cake in white and gold topped with gold roses, and on each side were potted yellow mums which formed an attractive setting for the gift table; where the guests were served to cake and coffee. Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Jewel Hunsucker cut the cake and did the serving.
