The Badger girls went 14-1 this year, their only loss to Kellogg, coming early in the season after several of the Badgers found themselves in foul trouble.

Fasteeth Alkaline Dental Powder was sold in the United States until the mid-1950s. The powder was used to form a film on dental dentures to keep them in place to allow a person to eat and drink without fear of their dentures falling out of the mouth. This size container was given to patients by the dentist as a sample. The powder could then be purchased at the local pharmacy. This one and a half inch tin belonged to Ruth Lozier Campbell (1898-1987). You can see this small tin in the medical exhibit on Nurse Chadwick’s shelf.
