Kaukauna Times
By Lyle Hansen KAHS
September 1, 1936
During the next week nearly 2,000 Kaukauna youths, boys and girls, young
men and women, from kindergarten age up will start on their march back to
school after three months of summer vacation. The enrollment of 536 as the high
school is the largest in the history of the school, officials have announced.
Last year's enrollment of slightly over 500 held the record up to that time.
Thirty-five candidates for the 1936 Kaukauna high school football squad
reported to Coach Paul E. Little Monday to receive their suits and equipment.
The day's activities were concluded with a chalk talk by the coach at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon.
Aspirants for the various positions who received equipment yesterday were
W. Peterson, G. Driessen, R. Van Drasek, R. Bootz, C. Vanevenhoven, W.
McCormick, S. Hanby, W. Bedat, G. Hilgenberg, A. Radermacher, E. Kalupa, L.
Lambie, C. Pendergast, A. Koehne, C. McCormick, G. Noie, E. Vanderloop, J.
Frank, F. Biselx, P. McLaughlin, Schubring, C. Watson, G. Patterson, D. Femal,
C. DeBruin, E. Koglin, F. Hooyman, A. Hooyman, E. Ludtke, D. Van Abel, W. Van
Abel, Kersten, J. Jansen, Derus and Duffy.
Bob Feller, who is only seventeen years old and was a Cleveland Indian’s rookie, is now a big leaguer.
Concrete is being poured this week for the new sidewalk leading to the
high school, civic auditorium and gymnasium from Main Avenue. The work is being
done under a WPA project and six men have been employed. The city pays for the material,
and the federal government pays for the labor.

Phil Zwick, the Kaukauna, Wisconsin flash, whose gallant display against
Laurie Stevens at the Wanderers is still fresh in the memories of Johannesburg,
South Africa fight fans, has returned to Johannesburg after a three week's
shooting trip on the Portuguese border. Zwick went to South Africa with the
avowed intention of "nailin' Laurie Stevens and baggin' a lion." He
dropped Stevens for a count, but it was not long enough to help him much and
the punch injured his right hand. He has, however, got his lion which, with an
express rifle bullet through the brain took the full count.
Arthur Kromer was installed
commander of post No. 41 of the American Legion at the annual installation of
officers at American Legion Hall Tuesday evening during a regular meeting of
the post.

The employment of drouth stricken farmers by WPA will more than triple
the rate of progress of farm to market road improvement during the next few months,
the state administrator declared today. More than 10,000 farmers, or about 90
per cent of the 11,399 farmers in need of drouth relief who are already
employed by WPA have been given work on farm to market road projects.
The entire north side of the city was in darkness Sunday evening from
10:30 p. m. to 1 a. m. when a high wind caused a contact between two feeder
wires leading to the north side and burned the wires in two parts. Employes
were summoned immediately and repairs were made. Candles and lamps furnished
light for north siders while the current was cut off.

More visitors viewed the historical Grignon home during August than all
who visited the home last year, according to a report received today from Mrs.
Ross Grignon, custodian at the home. There were over 800 visitors at the home
last month. Mrs. Grignon attributes this to the fact that attractive highways
signs have been erected on all highways leading to the city. Immediately after
the signs were placed on the roads, visitors began to flock to the home and a
steady stream of persons from all sections of the United States, east and west,
north and south, are stopping to see the home.
A story will be published along with a picture of the tree in the
Wisconsin Horticultural magazine. The tree has a circumference of 15 feet,
seven inches and has a branch spread of 104 feet, according to Mrs. Ross C.
Grignon, custodian at home. The picture of the tree has been taken by Nic
Bruehl of Sherwood, well known state photographer. The tree is considered one
of the largest of its kind in Wisconsin.
First prize in the industrial division of the Labor Day
parade here Monday was won by this float entered by the Kaukauna Lions club.

Kaukauna high school scored a 39 to 14 victory over Clintonville in a
Northeastern Wisconsin conference game on the local field Saturday in the
opening of the season for both teams. Kaukauna scored in the first quarter when
Bill McCormick broke off tackle for 45 yards and a touchdown and plunged over
for the extra point. Then Coach Little retired McCormick in favor of
sorrel-topped Koehne who on his first try at the line peeled off 40 yards for
the second touchdown.

Coach Paul E. Little, the high school football squad and Athletic
Director Clifford H. Kemp, will be guests of the Kaukauna Lions club at a 6:30
o'clock dinner at Hotel Kaukauna on Tuesday evening, Sept. 29. The feature of
the program will be the appearance of Earl L. "Curly" Lambeau and
Richard "Red" Smith, coach and assistant coach respectively of the
Green Bay Packers National Professional league football team. The appearance of
these two coaches in Kaukauna will set a precedent as it marks the first time
that any National pro league coaches have ever appeared here to address a
gathering of this kind.
