Memorial Day Parade
Eighty-first Annual Memorial Day Program Held Tuesday Under Sunny Skies
Ideal weather, sunny but slightly cool, formed a perfect backdrop for the eighty-first annual Memorial Day Parade held in. Sewickley on Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds, of people lined the sidewalks along the traditional parade route to see the spectacle, while hawkers sold flags, gaily colored balloons and other articles to add to the holiday atmosphere.

However, the parade, itself was shorter, with fewer units and fewer marchers in each unit The, Sewickley Police car led the marchers, followed by the Quaker Valley High School band in their quaint Quaker uniforms and gold sashes. The grey-clad Counfyjmlicemen were next on their spirited steeds. The Marshal, Russel W. Richert of Post 4, American Legion was followed by the only military unit, the 5th Missle Battalion of the I8th Artillery
