Special Appearance

April 10, 1964, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

I apologize for the bite someone took out of this photo but it still showcases how Menasha, once in a while, got a name brand guest speaker to entertain the students with a provocative presentation about love, sex, and marriage.  And what could be more timely for high school students in the 60's than those topics?  In a few short years, the decade would really start in earnest and all bets would be off.  At the time of this photo, aside from The Beatles, it might just as well have been the 1950's. (With the demise of her venue as a regular part of people's routines, Miss Landers might have had a hard time getting a footing in today's newspaper-less media environment.)

  1. I don't ever recall seeing Ann Landers referred to as "Miss Landers." That takes me back to Leave it to Beaver and the ever-patient teacher, Miss Landers.
