Rambling Reporter Reveals School Gossip Rampage
A rambunctious school column dishes gossip about dating, fashion, and pranks. It notes boys chasing female attention, unusual stocking choices, nail polish trends by Ruth Ann Castendyck and Betty Gehring, and lunchtime departures, while poking fun at assemblies and junior girls trends.
Local School Notes Reflect Tension and Games
We can’t imagine band and orchestra starting the year with everyone present. Ruth and Jim not on speaking terms. Johnny Schmidt and Ed Ohnen in school for a week at a time. Big crowds of students at an out of town basketball game. Betty Chamberlin and Leona Drury not in Dixon on Sundays. The assembly in the last semester’s disorderly order. Students not wanting to know how many days till spring vacation about 23 school days.
