Changing Times

February 1, 1972, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

Menasha High students get a chance to earn money using the work-study program.  I found it interesting to read that the girls were harder to place than the boys with no reason given.  Of course, this was 1972 and attitudes were sometimes hard to change about what women could do. Perhaps a lack of inside office type jobs might have been the reason, since i would think that was where most of the girls went.  I can sense the resistance against allowing girls to be "lot boys" or working at a gas station or car wash.
