While millions of students all over the country are going back to school and fussing and fuming about "what to wear" and hoping to be sure to portray that "cool" image; it is well to remember that many of their grandparents went to school under very different conditions.
For example, students at District 4 in Lake Prairie Township a few years ago were content to have two changes of clothes to wear to school. "We wore the same set of clothes all week," said Fred Hanson Jr. Then the Mom's would launder that set and the following week the students wore the second set of clothes. Alternating like that got them through the whole school year with little "to do" about "what to wear".
There was probably some changes from short sleeve to long sleeve shirts or the addition of a sweater when the winter weather came along. The District 4 alumni have some interesting stories that will be published in our Norseland History book. Keep the information coming. Send your stores to norseland150@gmail.com end
