60 YEARS AGO
The young people of the
Methodist Church scored a
big success at the lawn party
given Monday evening on
Mayor Goshert's lawn. The
beauty and chivalry of Nyssa
and vicinity attended and
joined heartily in the merry
making, it was a little
different from the ordinary
church function, in that it was
a purely social affair, and had
no financial feature in con­
nection*. thus
enabling
everyone to devote his
energies toward having a
good time. That they suc­
ceeded to a degree that was
highly gratifying to the
management was highly evi­
dent. All kinds of out door
sports were indulged in with
a joyful abandon that dis­
pelled any tendency toward
restraint and created an
atmosphere of social good
fellowship often lacking at
social gathering*. Refresh­
ments of cake and sherbet
were served until the multi­
tude were filled.
