September 2, 1913, Oshkosh Northwestern
Earning the admiration of everyone south to Oshkosh, our Miss Brooks performs the dignified dance, not the unvarnished scandalous ones enjoined by the younger set. Befitting her national costume, this young lass has captured the imagination of the social set who wished to revert back to some degree of dignity and decorum, or so they thought. For is it not true that every generation has its squawkers and Henny Pennies who decree the sky is falling in a scandalous manner? One's thoughts must now wander to the next decade, and one can only imagine the angst brought upon by "The Roaring Twenties"-- punctuated by flivvers, flappers, and fur coats.
