Birthday parties in the 1950s and the early 1960s were different from today. Friends and classmates were often invited to the birthday boy or girl’s home for games along with ice cream and cake.
The Montezuma Republican newspaper took their picture which was printed in the next weeks’ paper.
Here is the second in a 12-week series of birthday party pictures that will run in The Record and on Montezuma Magazine.
We hope you enjoy seeing yourself or perhaps a loved one in these photos taken by the Montezuma Republican photographer nearly seven decades ago.
This week, we flash back to a time in the mid ‘50s for Chris Swanson’s birthday.
