Germs, Beware!

March 6, 1959, Appleton Post-Crescent

As if you haven't had your fill of coronavirus news, yours truly brings this out of retirement.  But unlike today's climate of fear, this is a more innocent time when all these kids had to do was to get through the health skit and move on, for Pete's sake. 

Of course, as of the date of this photo, we aren't that far removed from the days of polio and every kid pictured here could relate somewhat- whether knowing a friend or relative who had been affected or maybe by just remembering getting the polio vaccine.  Even I recall that, only too well.  

I wish you all well in your self-isolating routines and please continue to be safe.
