Approximately twenty women were there to wish Lois and her fiance, Allen Wilkening, much happiness! The young couple received many beautiful and useful gifts and the guests enjoyed the delicious sandwich loaves, jello molds and tasty punch served by Bev. Each guest was given a little velvet heart trimmed with lace as a remembrance of the evening. Lois wore a lovely heart shaped corsage given to her by her bridesmaids. Games were played and the guests had a most enjoyable evening, as did Lois and Allen. Those on hand to wish the young couple much happiness were Lois' mother, Marcella Raiford, Allen's mom, Mrs. Clarence Wilkening, Lois' great-aunt, Mrs. Willie Meyers, Barbara McDonagh, Ester Hoven, Glady McHale, Autry Haper, Joanna Bauesties, Alice Hoffmann, Mrs. Alice Sullivan and daughters, Ann and Betty, Frances Kostka, Anny Arthurs, Millie Palmer, Lynne Dickson, Jackie Roy and Irene Roy, and of course Bev Walinski and her daughter, Linda.
