There were dresses, skirts, blouses and sports outfits. Fully gathered and
circular skirts were particularly popular.
Girls who participated in the show were Donna Ahrendsen, Judy Atkins, Carol Beck,
Leone Bosche, Barbara Bruck, Marilyn Brus, Beth Eckholdt, Dorothy Fink, Frances

Judy gave me a number of items and pictures to scan over the years and in 2007, I scanned this diploma of Russell Atkins, uncle to Judy.
Russell & his parents, Oscar, Sr. and Carrie (Peasley) Atkins lived in the current home of John Altenhein and also in a home on Third Street.
