set in the school room with covers
laid for 125 guests and in the base

as no other, than farmers wives could
prepare. The menu consisted of roast
ed chicken, mashed potatoes, chicken
gravy, dressing, pickles, salad, coffee,
cake, ice cream, candy, nuts and mum

the spread. The tables were served
by young girls of the community in
a very efficient manner.
