Here are two girls who know the good places to while away the time during noon hours at Houghton High School. Aware of the value of a brisk walk, they gingerly cross the bridge and then climb the stone steps immediately west of the Shell station. There they enjoy their lunch and recross the draw about 10 minutes before classes resume. The girls were quite complimentary of the stone work involved in their huge "sofa" and the photo nicely brings out the intricate stone work involved. Main topic of conversation was the fact that the two are so far removed from each other during the summer vacation. Annette Vukonich of Dodgeville will probably not see Danielle Niemi, R. of US-41 near Broemer's twice during the coming vacation. [The two girls took quite a hike to sit on this bench.] Scanned: April 13, 2009 |

Fuel - Wood |
Persons, , |
Frank Osteroth stands beside his unusual wood pile which rests southerly to his home on Hancock's Pine street. Of German descent, he indicated that this is the way the fuel is stacked in his "Old Country." The reason for the style is to conserve space. Solid right through, the high pile takes advantage of the air rather than the ground for its volume. Furthermore, there is no tendency for it to fall. If the American conventional pile were stacked 13 feet high, a light wind would cause it to topple over. A former resident of Painesdale, Frank is quite a carpenter in his own right. He is the proprietor of the traveling "miniature carnival." [Mr. Osteroth poses with the tall wood pile that is evenly spaced and perfectly symmetrical.] Scanned: April 9, 2009 |

Standing at right is Joanne's great granddaddy, Napoleon Campeau, at one-time was head at the old Gay mill.
