Have you always wondered what the

Wisconsin Longitudinal Study

conducted by the University of Wisconsin, Madison

  from 1957 is all about?  Maybe this article appearing in the Journal/Sentinel in December, 2010!

We have become known as the "Happy Days" generation!
 

Several students from the SHS Class of '57 have been involved in this study done by the University of Wisconsin since we graduated!  This recap shows the trends of education, family life, health, and offspring over the past 55 years.  This information is used in producing surveys, comparable studies and comparisons showing behaviors in certain age brackets.  When an article is written showing behaviors of seniors (also known as "seasoned" citizens) the writer often uses statistics from this Study as a comparison.

Now the Class of '57 is being surveyed to see how we are handling the second "Great Depression!"

You Need to be from Wisconsin to Appreciate This:

 

 
The year is 2016 and the United States has just elected the first woman president, who happens to be from Wisconsin .  A few days after the election the president-elect, whose name is Susan, calls her Father and says, 'So, Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?'
  
'I don't think so.  It's an 18 hour drive."
  
'Don't worry about it Dad, I'll send Air Force One.  And a limousine will pick you up at your door.'
  
'I don't know.  Everybody will be so fancy.  What would your mother wear?'
  
Oh Dad," replies Susan, 'I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by the best designer in Washington ..'
  
'Honey,' Dad complains, 'you know I can't eat those rich foods you eat.' Do they serve tap beer ????
  
The President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Dad.  The entire affair will be handled by the best caterer in Washington , I'll ensure your meals are salt
free.  You and mom just have to be there.'
  
So Dad reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan is being sworn in as President of the United  States .  In the front row sits the new president's Dad and Mom.  Dad noticing the senator sitting next to him leans over and whispers, 'You see that woman over there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States .'

The Senator whispers back, 'You bet I do.'
  
Dad says proudly, "Her brother played football for the Green Bay Packers."
Proudly shared by Fred Bloom from sunny Florida, but still a Packer fan!

In Memoriam 

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
