Kaukauna Times

Two girls were
injured—neither of them seriously—when a big rock was hurled at them through an
open school bus window Friday night after the Kaukauna–Oshkosh North football
game in Oshkosh. Injured in the melee were Robin Rogers, a freshman, and Jean
McMorrow. Both were X-rayed, treated, and released at an Oshkosh hospital. The
rock was thrown through an open window by a youth believed to be 15 or 16 years
of age. Mrs. Janet VandeHey, who together with her husband Ronald were
chaperoning the bus. The bus pulled out of traffic, and we got some ice at a nearby
house to put on the girls' heads. The girls were accompanied by the Vandehey’s
and a friend to the emergency room of the hospital where they were x-rayed,
treated and released.

The training of nine
volunteer firemen in the coming year will get a second look from the city's
Public Protection and Safety committee, the Common Council decided Tuesday.
Holding off on the volunteer plan came following an impassioned plea from Fire
Capt. Everette Bovee who pointed out that integrating volunteers into emergency
situations could be dangerous, that departments surveyed in a Fire and Police
Commission study all preferred paid firemen and that the move would be
"...a step backwards."
Funeral services for Miss
Carol Ann Walker, a former math teacher at Kaukauna High School, were at
1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Neenah. Miss Walker taught at Kaukauna from 1928 until
1934 when she moved to Menasha.
Smoking is slowly--and
surely--going out of style, according to the Wisconsin Lung Association. The
percentage of smokers is going down in this country. And an overwhelming
majority of the population think smoking should be banned in more public
places.

Funeral services will
be at 10:30 a.m. today for a rural Kaukauna area man and his daughter who were
killed shortly after midnight Saturday when their pickup truck left highway KK
and struck a bridge abutment. William Richard Ertl, 29, and his daughter, Melissa
Ann, age 5 of Route 3, Kaukauna, died instantly in the crash.
Last year, Todd Lunda
was the only Ghost golfer to participate in the state meet. This season, he's
going to have plenty of company. By taking second place in Friday's WIAA
sectional golf competition at New London, the entire Ghost team qualified for
the state meet--the first KHS team to accomplish that feat. Paced by Tom
Schmidt, whose 79 was the fifth best round of the day, the Ghosts counted 324
strokes to finish just five strokes behind first place Kimberly, which will
make the state trip for the second consecutive year as a team.
The suspense for 21
freshman girls was broken on Sept. 13, when frosh cheerleading tryouts were
completed. Eight freshman girls were chosen to lead cheers at football and
basketball games this school year. They include Debbie Huss, Suzanne Verbeten,
Tanya Miller, Leigh VandenHeuvel, Donna Manderschied, Lana McPhail, Karen
VanLinn, and Kathy Meyers.

Star quarterback Reed
Giordana of Kaukauna has set another National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) passing record. Giordana states that the
reason he has suffered no interceptions this year is that he is making sure the
receivers are open before he throws the ball. Otherwise, he runs the ball or
takes the loss. He also says that his experience has helped him in reading the
defenses better and that he isn't throwing the ball into crowds as much. Giordana,
who has led the nation’s small colleges in total offense twice and passing
once, has thrown a record 101 times this season without being intercepted.
Giordana is a junior and is undecided about his major.

Patrolman Tom Carpenter
has, like most police officers, experience with cars hitting signs. As
Carpenter watched Friday, a sign hit a car. The sign, on Third Street at Crooks
Avenue, moved out into the street and collided with a car owned by Evelyn M. Rademacher,
321 Park St. High winds Friday were the culprit.

Junior and Jim Salm,
proprietors of the Darboy Club, have taken over the Combined Locks A & W
and will call it "Salm's A & W." A third brother, Ray Salm, will
be manager of the new enterprise. "We will serve the same delicious food
that we offer at the Darboy Club," Jim said, "and as soon as
equipment changes can be made, we will be serving our famous 'Darboy Broasted
Chicken' at the A & W."
Guy Krumm, the only man to serve
as athletic director at Kaukauna High School prior to this year, will be the
guest of honor at a testimonial dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 26, at Van Abel's in
Hollandtown. Honors aren't anything new for the man who served as athletic director
for the past 34 years. Already, Krumm has been inducted into the KHS Sports
Hall of Fame in 1972 and earlier this year, he was inducted into the UW-Stevens
Point Sports Hall of Fame, after enjoying a brilliant athletic career at that
school. He came to Kaukauna in 1939 and coached basketball and football on the
varsity level. In eight seasons, his cage teams compiled an 83–47 record and
his 1941 team has the distinction of being the only KHS basketball team to win
a conference championship.

of waving and shouting over the weekend as a few bicyclists decided to give a
rough and rutted Third St. a try.
