Saturday afternoon twenty-five classmates and friends, happy-go-lucky and full of pep, helped Bobby Tarvin celebrate his ninth birthday anniversary which occurred on the following Tuesday, February 20, 1951.
The youngsters were entertained at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Tarvin, with his brother, Billy, in charge of the afternoon’s entertainment.
Bobby received many gifts and refreshments were served. The event was carried out at an earlier date for the convenience of many country children.
Incidentally, this is the first time Bobby has ever observed his birthday with a party.
