Kaukauna Times - By Lyle Hansen
September 2, 1959
The 27 girls of the Kaukauna High School class
of 1942 held their 17th annual reunion, August 27, at Babe Van Camp’s Supper Club,
where they met for a 7 pm dinner, cards and read letters on those who couldn't
be there.
The Kaukauna girls’ softball team finished
their season with two wins to give them a final 8-2 record. The girls defeated
Omro 14-8 and downed the Kimberly-Clark team 15-7. Judy Jacobson started as the
pitcher in the Kaukauna/Omro game and was relieved in the fifth by Mary Nienhaus
who received credit for the win. The Kaukauna nine scored 11 runs on 12 hits,
Marilyn Hilgenberg, Judy Borree and Mary Nienhaus slap triples for the winners.

While the prayer to God for peace in the world
was the main purpose of the holy hour here Monday night, the spectacle was
impressive. A crowd of 5000 filled the
bleachers and rimmed the high school athletic field forming a reverent, living
outline for the event. At the sound of the trumpets the procession walked down
the center of the open area. 150 altar boys in cassocks of red and white or
black and white along with 25 priest in red vestments.

A large Unite States Flag with only 45 stars
was a surprising find by two men removing the cupola from the Kemp building on
Lawe Street last week. The 8 foot flag was raised there on national holidays
until 1907. The flag was from 1896 when Utah was made a state.

Kaukauna recreation department and the Rod and Gun Club. Left to right John

The issuance of two new home building permits
during the month of August has raised the total number to date for 1959 to 40

total of 36 home permits were issued.
Two girls and two boys,
now in the senior class, attended Badger Girls’ and Badger Boys’ State this
summer. The girls were Jane Barribeau and Judith Haen. They were on the
University of Wisconsin campus at Madison in June. Attending the Boys State at
Ripon were Dwight Bastian and Thomas Verhagen.
Karl Wundrow, 7, died Monday evening as a
result of injuries sustained when he was struck by an auto on County trunk N
about a half mile south of Kimberly. The youngster was going across the road to
show one of his playmates a new pair shoes he had just received and although he
waited for a truck to pass before going onto the road, he failed to look the
other direction from which a car was coming. He is survived by his parents,
three brothers and two sisters.
THESE SOBER-FACED YOUNGSTERS are not waiting
for the doctor to say “next” for a shot or have they heard school will remain
in session all next summer. The above scene takes place throughout the summer when
they are required to leave the pool due to storm clouds over head.
Individual game tickets for the Green Bay Packers
final three games to be played at the city Stadium are now available from Art
