School History

July 25, 1973, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

From the 1973 centennial edition of the daily Northwestern comes this concise history of early schools in Menasha.  What amazed me most was that it took almost twenty years for a commencement to be held after students had graduated.  Finishing the course and staying home seems rather anticlimactic but perhaps there was some tenet involved there where drawing attention to oneself wasn't condoned.
