Time Machine Trip to August 1960

 

Kaukauna Times - August 1960

August 3, 1960
Preliminary census figures indicate Kaukauna has passed 10,000 in population, according to Mayor Joseph Bayorgeon. He will immediately take action to have the city recognized as a third-class city. This change in classification will make it possible for the city to receive additional highway funds. Other changes include changes to the library and voting regulations.

Ratification of a new contract between Thilmany Pulp and Paper Company and the union was completed. The contract affects 1250 employees. The contract grants pay increases of 4c per hour to all female employees and a 9c rate increase to all male employees.

25,000 people jammed Kimberly Saturday evening as the village celebrated its 50th Birthday.  Fourteen marching bands were interspersed among endless floats, revamped jalopies, horse drawn carriages and displays of modern business equipment. Governor Gaylord Nelson addressed the gathering by praising Kimberly for the time and effort put into the celebration.

Bill Mitchler fired a sizzling one under par 36 on the first round of the President’s Cup Championship Saturday to pace the field and win the gold cup at Fox Valley links.


1960 assessed valuation of property in Kaukauna nears the $23,500,000 mark. This is the highest in previous years. It is interesting that cattle and steamboats have declined greatly over the past three years. Last fall saw the final tugs and barges operating here in the Fox River.

Kaukauna High School principal, Walter Schmidt this week issued a reminder to students and parents of the dress codes set by the school board. Dress for girls during school hours should consist of blouses, sweaters and skirts or simple dresses. Make-up should be kept to a minimum. Girls are not permitted in classes wearing slacks or with their hair in pin-curls. Party dresses including high-heel shoes are not permitted. Recommended dress for boys include dress or wash trousers and a shirt or dress shirt. Boys usually wear sport jackets for dress-up events.  Jeans and Bermuda shorts are forbidden, and boots are not permitted in classrooms by boys or girls.  Extreme hair cuts, such as ducktails for boys are not acceptable and long sideburns are regarded as inappropriate for school.
