TITLE TOWN U.S. A. H 2 HIGHLIGHTS The first recorded history of Green Bay began in 1634, when a bearded French explorer stepped ashore from a birch-bark canoe at the Winnebago Indian's fortified village at Red Banks on the east side of Green Bay about 12 miles north of the city. However, French voyageurs and coureurs de bois, roaming independently through the woods and streams of the Northwest, trading with the Indians, dis covering new waterways without bothering to record them, probably knew of the site of Green Bay before 1634. The French explorer, Jean Nicolet, was a representative of the French Government in search of a westward water route to the Orient. Although he failed in his as signed mission, his report to the Governor of Quebec stimulated the interest of the traders and missionaries to whom the early develop ment and explorations of the vicinity must be attributed. Green Bay was originally known as La B aye. However, after Nicolet claimed the region in the name of the King of France, thus making it a recognized part of New France it was known as Baye La V erte (French for Green Bay) . When the English speaking people predominated, they named it Green Bay. After Nicolet's exploration, very little attention was given to La Baye for a period of approximately 30 years. The first trader to make a permanent home at the mouth of the Fox River was Nicolas Perrot, who first came here in 1665. How ever, it wasn't until after 1669 when Father Claude Allouez, Jesuit missionary, founded a mission here that La Baye and the Fox River became important. In 1673 Marquette and Joliet p 2:1etrated the en tire length of the F ox River, crossed the portage, and founded the way to the Mississippi. Thus a continuous natural waterway was charted between the St. Lawrence and the Gulf of Mexico, and La B aye, located at the end of the Michilimackinac - Great Lakes wa terway and at the entrance of the Fox - Wisconsin, became the na tural trading center and rendezvous for everyone interested in the abundant furs of the Wisconsin region. Father Claude Allouez was the first and probably the most famous of the missionaries to establish a mission here. He named it St. Francis Xavier. Built in 1671, two years after his arrival, it survived until 1687, when it was destroyed by fire. Its existence is commemorated by a tablet on the original site near the eastern end of the present De Pere bridge. Indian villages were settled in and around La Baye, mission aries and French soldiers had temporary shacks and traders built 3 log cabins along both banks of the river. The entire region be came so significa nt in the French occupation of the Northwest that Nicolas P errot, who was the first trader to make a perma nent h ome at the m ou th of the Fox River, was appointed comman d a nt of the region in Hi84. P errot was one of the most brilliant men in N orthwest history. A crude frontier fo rt and trading post was built that same year w hich ser ved as his h eadqua rters. His gr eat know ledge of Indian ways and languages won t he trust a nd confidence of the Indian s. H e m<1 de allia nces a nd t rade treaties, settled inter-tr ibal disputes, and liste rwd to the g ri ev a nce;~ of India ns and trader s. It w as until ] 700 th cit La Baye and the entire Fox - Wisconsin water-way was the most productive fu r ti·ade region in all of New F rance. 1-Iuwever, at1(:•r the turn of the century F rench fur trade di minished. P errot was recalled 1o Canada. most of the trade licenses were rt'vnked and by 170:-l the Fox Indian wars had begu n. By 1716 Pnrnt's diplomatic policy was abandoned for a militar y policy and S1eur de Lou vigny· led an expedition of .500 against the warring F ox. To control the wciterway and keep it open to trade Fort L a Baye was built on the \vest bank of the river. A second Indian w ar flared up and a second military expedition was sent to La Baye in 1728. When the French retre;.1t aml homes a nd to cultivate the land fo r win ter sup plies. The first settler of a ny impor tance was Au gus' i'1 de L anglade who came from Mackinac a nd bu ilt a trading post on the east bank of the F ox River about 1745. His knowledge of the Indian languages, his honesty, gentility and generosity soon won for him the complete support of the Indians and he gained almost complete rnonopoly of thei1 trade. The Langlades, Grignons, and P orliers, all related to one another, controlled the tr ade and commerce of La Baye and the Fox River during the French and British regimes. They owned huge tracts of land, married into the Menominee tribe, and had a consistent policy of friendliness toward the Indians. They managed to produce a self.· contained community all but formally independent of the political and economic control of a distant French King. Trade and commerce continued in comparative peace and pros perity until the French and Indian War of 1755-1760. At the end of this war the British had gained control of the Northwest Territory, a nd in 1761 the old Fort La Baye was occupied by British soldiers under the command of Lieutenant James Gorrell. He rebuilt the fort and named it Fort Edward Augustus. The French citizens continued calling the site La Baye but the British traders called it Green Bay 4 Cotton House, upper De Pere road i.ANDMARK-OPEN TO VISITORS because the water and shore assumed green tints very early in the spring. Between 1763 and 1780 Green Bay was a rich community, carry ing on a lucrative business trade, friendly with the Indians, produc ing its own foodstuff, building graceful cottages, and having da nces and festivities. In 1775 Joseph Roy settled in Green Bay. The house he built was later acquired by Jacques Porlier who sold it to Otto Tank. It is preserved as a historical shrine at its present location in a west side park, and it is known as Tank Cottage. The United Sta tes, in the ordinance of 1787, provided for the annexation of the Northwest Territory, which included Wisconsin. The seat of the United States Government was a long way from the Northwest Territory, however, the English continued to dominate the area. They remained in possession of Fort Edward Augustus until after the War of 1812. In this war the citizens of Green Bay took commissions in the British forces and were greatly impoverished by the demands for food and supplies. 5 • Tru Test Paint • Glass • Black & Decker Tools. • Plumbing Supplies • Electri cal Supplies • Bu ilders Hardware • Fu rnace Filters • Ar iens-Tru Test-Lawn Boy-Jacobsen Power Mow ers, Snow Blowers and Tillers • Garden Tools • Sunbeam Small Appliances • Housewares • Gifts • Rubber Maid Mirro • Pyrex • Sporting Goods • AMF Bikes-Parts and Service • Scotts Lawn Products • Radios • Blue Lustre Shampoo BICYCLES ONE-STOP HAf FREE PARKING - REAR OF STORE 408 DOUSMAN PHONE 437-4373 GREEN BAY 6 A t the end of the war John Jacob A stor's American Fur Com pany gained control of the major portion of the tr ade. Grignon, Lawe, and Porlier were such influen tial citizens that in 1815 Astor found it good business policy to form a trade association with them and make them agents for the Arnerican F u r Company. In 1816 m il itary fo rts were built at the two ends of the F ox - Wisconsin water way, F ort H oward at Green Bay, and Fort C rawford at Prairie du Chien. Fur trade continued to flourish at Green Bay for another 20 years. D uring this time people from New England began settling in the West and they used the easy w ater transportation of the canal, the Great Lakes, the Bay, and the Fox - vVisconsin waterway. G reen Bay again became an important port. It developed as a tr ading cen ter for the people th at were settling in the Fox River and B ay region. General stores were established, h ote ls and inns for the new arrivals were built, domestic c:nimals were bought and sold, passenger boats arrived daily, a permanent, reliable m ail route was established, the Green Bay In telligencer. the first newspaper in Wisconsin , began its weekly p ublication in December of 1833, by advertising the lands of the Green B ay region, and a land office was opened in 1834. Daniel Whitney platted the town of Navarino in 1829. He erecte,, the largest hotel of its day, calling it the Washington House. The town of N avarino w as the first section of present Green Bay. In 1835 Astor and his associates, seeing money in real estate, platted a town to the south and called it the town of Astor. Astor also built a hotel, the Astor Hotel, and advertised it as the largest hotel west of New York. The towns of Navarino and Astor continued to grow and in 1842 they were combined into the town of Green Bay. During the 1850's, German, Belgian, Dutch and Scandi navian farmers settled in the region around Green Bay. The city soon became a farm market center. In this period Green Bay was developing as a wh olesaie and retail food center and pine lumber was in great demand. Lumbering was fast taking the place of fur trading which was almost entirely over. The city of Green Bay was incorporated in 1854 and continued to grow. Sawed lumber was the m ain manufactured product. Whole sale and r etail trade was next in importance. By 1880 the population had jumped from 4,666 to 7,464 and by the turn of the century the population had reached 18,684. Employment agents at New York met incoming Germans, Belgians, and Scandinavians and offered them two weeks room and board, and free transportation to the mills and factories of Wisconsin and many of them settled in Green Bay. Green Bay has continued to grow both in population and manu facturing. There are now manufacturing establishments producing paper and paper products, iron and steel, foods, and building ma terials. 7 The city of Green Bay has an uncommonly high score of the tangibles for which management looks in establishing a home and headquarters. Through more than 300 years of history, through booms, panics and wars, Green Bay has been one of America's most dependable small cities in industry and commerce. However there are also many intangibles, too. With all of those it makes the city a better place in which to live, a better place in which to work and a better place in which to conduct permanent business. Since the first white man set foot on what is now Wisconsin, more than 300 years ago, people have been coming to Green Bay. It is a busy market center with retail establishments and volume reflecting patronage many times the population of the city. It is near bay, lake, and hill side sports, near favorite fish ing and hunting grounds, has varied summer and wi nter resort attractions, ideal golf courses and is a preferred convention city of t he state. It is attractive to executives and employees, conducive to good human relations. Green Bay is the county seat of Brown County and is one of the most beautiful and charming of Wisconsin cities, having superior educational, religious and social advantages. It has many attractive residences, sheltered under the foliage of majestic shade trees surrounded by large and well kept lawns. Its well paved streets are straight and wide. About 65';; of the people of Green Bay own their own homes which greatly exceeds the national average. People, as well as industries and business, come to Green Bay to stay. There are many beautiful drives in every direction and t he scenery along these are unequaled anywhere. Improvements are continually being made to make t he parks places of recreation as well as ornamental. Green Bay is the center of musical and cultural events for the whole northern half of the state. Co ncerts here are sold out Jong in advance and t he seating capacity of school auditoriums limits the budget of the associations and promoters sponsoring these events. Tourists can spend days visiting the many historical monu ments and markers. No small city in the Midwest has more, because Green Bay had most of the firsts in the state of Wisconsin and the new West. It had the first settlers, the first business, the first church, school, newspaper, military establishment, court and judge. This is also where Wisconsin started. 8 AERIAL VIEW OF DOWNTOWN SHOPPING AREA However, all of these things are taken in stride, but they are a part of the life of the city. They are the silent sentinels which remind native born and permanent residents of the rich heritage of courage, freedom and patriotism which is Green Bay's. These are all intangible. They play no exaggerated part in the life of this most modern and cosmopolitan small metropolis. However, this American heritage is a powerful influence for pride and community responsibility, neighborliness and cooperation. This spirit is shown in so qiverse a subject as the professional Green Bay Packers football organization. Green Bay industrial and commercial history has the reputa tion of "never a boom nor a bust." The American Heritage of Green Bay has helped to maintain the proud record of manage ment-employee relations which has characterized the city's whole industrial and commercial existence. The Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce lists 258 manu facturers in Green Bay which shows it to be definitely an indust rial city, producing many millions of dollars worth of products. It is known as the Tissue Paper Capital and Cheese Processing Capital and Cheese Market of America. It is also known for the variety and diversification of manufacturing. The thrill of finding products made in Green Bay in European capitals, on luxury ocean liners, in the State Street stores in Chicago, and in food stores wherever a traveler may stop, is second only to the Green Bayites' thrill when the Green Bay football team wins out over the largest cities in America. 9 W~ To.

Such pride is the reason the city has had the Packers for more than 50 years. The Packers are "our team" to every man, woman and growing child in Green Bay. This makes for a wonderful com munity solidarity and community spirit, which has made not only the team, but the city, famous throughout the land. Among the larger paper mills is the Charmin Paper Products Company, a subsidiary of The Procter & Gamble Company. Established as the Hoberg Paper Mill in Kaukauna in 1892, the firm moved to Green Bay in 1895 becoming the city's first paper mill. It is credited with being one of the first in the midwest to produce sanitary paper products which today include facial tissue, toilet tissue, table napkins and kitchen roll towels. Multimillion dollar expansion projects in recent years has made the company one of the largest paper firms in Green Bay. Present employment is approximately 1,800. Within the comparatively short space of' 50 years Northern Paper Mills has increased its manpower and annual paper pro duction from 25 workers and 800 tons to more than 1,200 em ployees and 68,000 tons. It was established a half century ago at the junction of the East and Fox Rivers in Green Bay and moved from an inconspicuous to a nationally known organization that markets the finest in toilet tissue, facial tissue, handy roll towels and napkins. In addition to the pulp and paper mills in Green Bay, North ern, a division of the American Can Co., owns and operates three companies whose function it is to provide pulpwood for the Green Bay mill operation. Northern not only has its own timberlands, it has its own ship for transporting logs and it is as near to being a completely self-integrated mill as any tissue mill in the United States today. Green Bay is also the cheese processing capital of America. One of the oldest of the cheese companies is the Pauly Cheese Company which has developed into one of the largest manufac turers, processors and wholesalers of cheese in the United States. It was in 1878 that Nicholas Pauly built a small cheese factory. GREEN BAY PLANING MILL 1599 University Ave. has made this book available to you. If you have enjoyed it, won't you please tell them so? 11 SROWN COUNTY VETERANS MEMORIAL ARENA From its beginning in one small factory, the Pauly Cheese Company has grown to where it operates more cheese factories in Wisconsin than any of its competitors. The Pauly Cheese Company maintained headquarters in Manitowoc until 1947 when they purchased the Standard Brands Shefford interests in Green Bay and Monroe, together with their factories in the state and moved its general offices to Green Bay. The Pauly Cheese Company is a subsidiary of Swift and Co. Many things are planned for the future for the city of Green Bay. Green Bay is already a major port for large ocean-going vessels while smaller European vessels also traverse the lake route, bringing foreign cargo, mostly pulp, to the port. The building of the St. Lawrence - Great Lakes waterway serves as Green Bays greatest opportunity. With the lakes-to-ocean seaway this city has become a very important point for the assembling of cargo enroute to E uropean and other worldwide ports. Green Bay is a city of diversified manufacturing. The list of products includes such things as cranes and excavating machinery, other machinery, automoble parts and bodies, processed food s, concrete products, fabricated steel, meat packing products, brick, gloves and mittens, tools, dies and jigs, castings, . patterns, off ice furniture and cabinets, printing presses and paper co nverting machinery. Petroleum products storage has more than doubled, and the figure of more than 150,000,000 gallons capacity for one year may be the largest on the Great Lakes. It certainly is the largest in Wisconsin. Oil men predict the Green Bay capacity will prob ably double again in the next 10 years.

"IJ J I VViJconJin Crossing the Fox River on Main Street, one sees a bronze marker not far from the west bank and close to the street, near the C. & N.W. station. Some 400 feet north of the marker is the site of Wisconsin's earliest fort. Here the French established Fort St. Francis in 1684, rebuilt in 1718 and evacuated in 1760. It was followed on the same site in 1761 by the British Fort Edward Augustus, held by the British only until 1763, and by the American Fort Howard in 1816. Perhaps some day Fort Howard may rise again as a national monument, its six existing original buildings reassembled and the fort reconstructed to the original plan. 17 -~ --- - ~ \ ~~~~ ~ / \ W WEST BRnk&TRUST B&T Broadway at West Walnut I Green Bay, Wisconsin I 54306 BAY PORT BRANCH AIRPORT BRANCH Tulip & Cardinal Lane Airport Road & Pine Tree Lane Village of Howard 54303 Town of Hobart 54303 MEMBER F .D .l.C.

Registration is required if you live in a community of 5,000 population or more. Wisconsin registration is "permanent," but it is easy to get dropped if you do not vote in two years. If you fail to vote within two years, or if you have changed your name, you must reregister in person at your local clerk's office. If you move you may mail the clerk a notice of your old and new address. The office of the Green Bay City Clerk is open from 8 :00 A.M. to noon and from 1 :00 P.M. until 5 :00 P.M. Mondays thru Fridays. Persons who are now registered in the City of Green Bay and who have changed their address since registering, may report same either in person, by mail or by telephone. Where registration is required, and you are qualified to vote but have failed to register, you still may vote. To do this, how ever., you must get two voters who reside in your election precinct and who hold title to real estate to swear before the local clerk or election commission or their authorized representative and file an affidavit that you are a qualified voter. You must deliver to the election inspector not later than the day before election, a certificate showing that you have filed an affidavit, because no voter may be registered on election day. 30 d/-i9hway fhi1tanct:1 9-iom §it:t:n !Bay fJo: Antigo 81 Appleton 30 Ashland 248 Beloit 168 Chicago, Illinois 200 Dubuque, Iowa 229 Duluth, Minnesota 326 Dallas, Texas 1137 Detroit, Michigan 472 Eagle River 145 Escanaba, Michigan 111 Eau Claire 197 Fond du Lac 71 Hayward 264 Iron Mountain, Michigan 99 Ishpeming, Michigan 154 Janesville 157 Kenosha 152 La Crosse ...... 212 Los Angeles, California ...... 2245 Madison 134 Manistique, Michigan 168 Manitowoc 39 Marquette, Michigan 179 Menominee., Michigan 56 Milwaukee 116 Marinette 54 Minneapolis, Minnesota 285 New York, New Yc~k 1032 Oshkosh 50 Racine 151 Rhinelander 121 Sault Ste.

Today the college has l,500 students and 100 faculty mem bers. Some 21 academic buildings and residence halls are located on a 25-acre site along the banks of the Fox River four miles south of Green Bay. Although Latin declensions are still included in the curriculum, a wide variety of traditional and experimental courses offer students unlimited opportunity in independent re search, off-campus study, and determination of their own major programs. Over the years, the college has built its Norbertine heritage into one of the most forward looking private liberal arts colleges in the nation. Much of the credit belongs to Abbot Pennings who led St. Norbert's growth and expansion through 57 painful, frust rating, satisfying years. This remarkable man, in fact, personally designed Boyle Hall, and two months before his death in 1955 at the age of 93, he turned the earth for the Hall of Fine Arts. The Rev. D. M. Burke succeeded Abbot Pennings as president and served until June, 1968, when he was named chancellor. 39 Welcome to Green Bay ... and to WEST Brtnk &TRUST West Bank Customers Enjoy e FULL BANKING SERVICES AT ALL LOCATIONS e COMPLETE TRUST SERVICES e 5 PERSON-TO-PERSON AUTO BANKS e DAILY INTEREST ON PASS BOOK SAVINGS e LINE BACKER ACCOUNT $100 TO $3,000 e GUARANTEED CHECK CARDS e MODERN AND EFFICIENT BANKING FACILITIES e FREE PARKING Broadway and Tulip and Airport and W.

Another influential Norbertine was the Rev. Anselm Keefe biologist, botanist, playwright, play director, philosopher. During the 1920s and 1930s, Fr. Keefe initiated many new academic pro grams, gained accreditation for the college, and was one of Abbot Pennings' chief executives. Since 1952, St. Norbert has been coeducational. Although it still enjoys the services of many Norbertine priests, more than 80 per cent of the faculty are laymen, as are a majority of the administration. St. Norbert now has a layman for president. He is Dr. Neil J. Webb who came to the college in 1959 and was chairman of the psychology department and then administrative vice-president be fore being named president in 1973. In his inauguration speech, Dr. Webb noted that St. Norbert College remains committed to "the intellectual, personal and moral development of ea,ch student," just as it was in 1898 when it was founded by Abbot Pennings.

Johnny Mayasich, a former University of Minnesota All American, took over the coaching rein:s in the second season, and guided the "cats" for the next seven years. Peter Buchmann moved into the coaching slot in 1966, and led the team until Coppo became coach three seasons ago. The Bobcats are one of the strongest and best established teams in the U. S. Hockey League. They have developed many out standing pl·ayers, with several of them going on to hockey careers in the NHL and WHA. In addition, the Bobcats have been selected to represent the United States in several fore.ign tournaments. The popularity of the Bobcats continues to grow each season, as their following of dedicated fans has expanded to many com munities in northeast Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.

While the philosophy shifts from time to time, several principles have remained contant: to give foe opportunity to interested people to work and play together in a worthwhile and voluntary activity, and to present the best possible program of live theater to the community. Through the years, community enthusiasm has been a major factor-some 1,000 persons are our steady support-without sub sidy, but with occasional generous gifts. Encouragement from the Recreation Department, and the use of school auditoriums have facilitated us greatly. In addition, proferred space for rehearsal and meetings, assistance from willing and generous individuals and businesses have aided immensely in enriching what Community Theater could offer. We present four plays a year, our objective being that we will present the four best shows currently available. No one play, or play-bill, can satisfy everyone. Something for everybody-to entertain, and to stretch and grow with our audiences, are our objectives. We invite you to join up with us as an audience; even more, in back of the curtain if you have interests there. Watch for an nouncements regarding tryouts for each production.

In 1948 one hundred acres of the sandy, cut over land, with its scattered hardwood and few stately pine burned unchecked, while the rest was in constant danger of fire. A supervisor of the county board and an ardent conservation ist, Francis Evrard, suggested that the county board dismantle the old workhouse and rebuild on tax delinquent land. This work could be done by inmates of the jail who later would be sentenced to the camp. The land would be replanted with pine to provide some revenue. In 1950 he was appointed Corporation Council but re tained his avid interest in the camp. WEST BANK & TRUST 310 W. Walnut hos mode this book available to you.

There would be no locks on the doors, no bars on the windows, and no guards. Naturally, such an idea was difficult to sell to the County Board members. Finally the board consented, and the task of select ing a superintendent was given to the Agricultural Committee and Mr. Evrard. After reviewing the applications the members selected Harry Barth. He began work on April 15, 1949. Each morning he picked up the prisoners at the county jail, took them out to the camp site where they worked all day, clearing brush, hauling fi lling, and begin ning the building of the camp. In the late afternoon the men were returned to the County Jail. Frank Buerschinger, also a member of the Agricultural Committee, helped in the construction of the Camp. Finally in May of 1950 the building was ready for occupancy. Dedication ceremonies were held May 17th. Well known state and county officials as well as all county board members were invited. Work of the men is varied. When someone skilled in the opera tion of a caterpillar is at the camp, all firelanes are worked and new ones added, furrows for the spring planting are plowed and any heavy hauling is done. On December 10, 1951 Harry Barth died of a heart attack while working in the woods with his men. The project was so new that it had barely begun to show its greatness. County officials were unable to process the more than 100 applications received immediate ly, so they agreed to let Mrs. Barth continue her husband's work as she requested. It would then give them a chance to pick a suc cessor, and allow her an opportunity to show her ability at hand ling the project. At the end of a 6 months probation period they showed their satisfaction by appointing Mrs. Barth to the 48 position of superintendent. A cook and assistant superintendent were also added to the payroll. Mrs. Barth's first big project aside from the forestry work, was a small zoo and park. With the help of the County Board Chairman (Ollie) E . •T. Smith, and the support of the committee, the inmates built pens for birds and animals. Besides the park, inmates with the help of conser vation of ficials and camp personnel have built two nature trails, dug nu merous trout ponds and did stream bank improvement un Hallers Creek running through the property. Trout of legal size are planted each spring. Following the death of Mr. E. J . Smith on July 4, 1956 the County Board voted unanimously to set aside the park area of the Reforestation Camp as the E. J. Smith Park. The park now bo asts new swings, a merry-go-round, nursery swings, hobby horses tumbling bar, teetertotters, and regular swing sets, a large shelter house, barheque stoves and fireplaces. On February 1, 1969, Harve~' Verheyden was hired as Park Caretaker. The latest addition has been 34 miles of well-maintained snow mobil e trails which are open to the public. A new warming house has been built for snowmobilers with money obtained through the Department of Natural Res·ources snowmobile registration funds. Mrs. Aurelia Barth, Camp Superintendent for 24 years of dfdicated service, retired July 1 1973. Robert A. Sheedy, the Assi.st ant Superintendent for the past ten years was then named the new Camp Manager. §i£en !Baff CuiUn9 Cfufr The 1972-73 season marked a highpoint in the young history of the Green Bay Curling Club-the first time one of its rinks reached national competition. The event was preceded by the state curling championship being accorded the Dennis Fonger rink 0f the Green Bay club. Curling with Fonger were Tom Casper. Dean Roberg and Dave Giorgi. From the state championship, the foursome competed in the national event at Colorado Springs, Colo., against winners from nine other states or regions across the country. The Green Bay Curling Club was founded in 1957, but until the 1972-73 season, no rink had even gained the level of state championship play. The Green Bay Curling Club is located on Potts Avenue, two blocks southeast of the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena. 49 WISCOHSIN CHAMPIONS-DAVE GIORGI, DE AN ROBERG, TOM CASPER AND DENNIS FONGER OF GREEN BAY CURLING CLUB (P ress-Gazette Photo) The club has two sheets of curling ice, so that t wo games can be played simultaneously.

Some even tiptoe past the giant pic ture of Vince Lombardi that commands the eye's attention inside the vestibule. The Packer Hall of Fame is a shrine to one of sports' Cinder ella dynasties. If the memorabilia of Don Hutson, Mike Michalske, Arnie Herber, Curly Lambeau, and Lombardi do not impress on the visitor that he is inside a shrine, he is reminded by a con stant monologue over the public address speaker: " ... oldest and most successful team in professional football." The Hall of Fame visitor is not obligated to believe that mono logist, but folks who Jive in Titletown believe him. So do the proud and husky P acker athletes who work out across from the Hall of Fame twice daily. Some observers are more awed by watching the Packer team, a Hall of Fame unit in itself than by walking thru the museum. The Packers practice and live, in fact, as though determined to fulfill the message delivered by one of the signs in the Hall of Fame. That sign detailing part of the Packer history, concludes: "In the early 1950's ... a $100,000 stock sale throughout Wisconsin was required to pull them through. Since then the financial footing grew more solid, although its field accomplish ments wavered continuously until 1959 and the beginning of another era .. . one that hasn't ended." The era that has not yet ended is the most glorious in Packer history: three consecutive National Football League championships, two Super Bowl titles, and three successive invitations to the College All-Star game. This modern Packer era is so magnificent that the Hall of Fame had to recognize it. No sooner does the Hall of Fame visitor pass the picture of Lombardi than he finds himself staring at portrait sketches of Don Anderson, Jerry Kramer, Ray Nitschke, Willie Davis, Bart Starr, and Boyd Dowler. Today's. Packers-John Brockington, MacArthur Lane. Chester Marco!, Scott Hunter, and Coach Dan Devine--are also represented in the same area that houses Don Hutson's traveling jersey and Curley Lambeau's press clippings. The Hall of Fame, of course, also tells the fans much about the Packers' heritage. The yellowed newspaper clippings receive as muoh attention as do the sound movies that preserve the more 51 LAMBEAU FIELD-HOME OF THE GREEN BAY PACKERS thrilling moments in recent Packer history. There are many trophy footballs, some of them as fat as blimps, in genuine testimony that they are relics of an older and less streamlined gridiron era. Two of these footballs are truly representative. One reads : "Packers, 35; Chiefs, 10." The other, also from the Super Bowl, is inscribed: "Packers, 33; Raiders, 14." Significantly, two red-white-blue College All-Star uniforms har;g in different display cases. These uniforms were worn by men who played on College All-Star squads before they became Packer greats, and the uniforms' presence in the Packer Hall of Fame testifies to the prestige the College All-Star game enjoys in the football world. Under one of the All-Star uniforms is the notation that it was worn in the 1937 game, and that the Packers lost, 6 to 0. Another king-size case displays all the major trophies that were acquired by Quarterback Bart Starr, whose #15 jersey was re cently retired by the Packer organization. Thru over five decades, the Packers have enjoyed many splen did and historical moments in football. Lambeau Field itself would not hold all the memorabilia. The Hall of Fame is a must for the newcomer to Titletown. It occupies a portion of the Green Bay Veterans Memorial Arena, and is open from mid-May to the first of September, 7 days a week. As we've said, football may not actually be a religion in T'itle town.

Complete and modern facilities in addition to the heart unit are: surgical intensive care unit, Physical Therapy Department, diagnostic X-ray facilities, specialized Laboratory services, Blood Bank, OB, Pediatrics, Respiratory Therapy Department with pul monary function testing and an Alcoholic Treatment Unit where a patient can admit himself if he feels he wants treatment. A Diagnostic and Treatment Center is available for patients whose physician agrees to meet and treat them at Bellin. Patient\S being treated at other hospitals by emergency room physicians still have the choice, if they need to be admitted to a hospital, to be admitted to Bellin. These facilities along with a high ratio of nurses to patients because of the School of Nursing are factors making Bellin Memorial Hospital attractive to the people of the greater Green Bay Community. ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL is one of the largest non-govern mental health care institutions in the State of Wisconsin. Standing as a monument to the first group of Ho;:;pital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis who came to Green Bay in 1888 to care for the sick, St. Vincent provides beds for over 500 adult patients and over 50 infants. The building is entirely air conditioned and every patient room has controls for temperature and humidity selections. Under pillow speakers for radio and recorded music and remote control TV are available for patient use.
