Homecoming 1959
This comes from the same 1960 MHS annual, The Nicolet, that featured last week's basketball photo, so this had to be the 1959 homecoming. But seeing this photo with the neat convertible and the backdrop of Menasha merchants on Main Street meant I just had to share these photos. The car is approaching the intersection of Main and Mill Streets, judging by its position in front of Hidde's pharmacy. In my mind, there aren't enough depictions of Menasha's downtown in its heyday so having this "found" backdrop in this context was a real find for me. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, too.
