This Day in History: 1949-08-31

Lois Schweizer of 38 Maysenger Rd. departed for freshman orientation at Fairleigh Dickinson College. She received a $200 scholarship to help her in the study of Merchandising and Fashion Design. At Ramsey High School she was listed as having belonged to almost every club on campus from the Etiquette Club and the Biology Club to the Yearbook Staff and the Student Council. She was Chairman of the Junior Prom Committee and participated in the Junior and Senior plays and the Glee Club. She had recently appeared on the “Junior Town Meeting of the Air” over radio station WAAT. She gave a prepared talk on what to expect in the Far East, answering questions from the audience. With all of these activities she still managed to be on the Honor Roll scholastically, and be active in the Girl Scouts and church youth activities. Perhaps she went to college for a rest. (Bristow)
