October 11, 1929, Menasha Record
The recently formed St. Mary High School (1928) performed a dedication to Christopher Columbus on the occasion of the holiday named after him. While I'm sure the program fell into line with what the Governor had declared, I found it humorous that the headline simply said the program was "appropriate." I'm not sure what the orchestra and the students could have done to have been "inappropriate" to the occasion, but better adjectives like "stirring," "patriotic," or "memorable" would have made for a more appreciative entry in one's scrapbook.
