Girl of the Month
Jeanette Vinegar.
My life story.
My name is Jeanette Vinegar. I
am 16 years old and a sophomore
at Lincoln High. My home is in
Detroit, Michigan. I am now stay
ing at 1928 U Street with my
grandmother, Mrs. Mary Scott. I
came to Lincoln in September of
1946 to attend school. I found Lin
coln to be a beautiful, clean, quiet
city and its people very firendly.
I first attended Whittier Jr. High.
I graduated in June and now I go
to Lincoln High.
The schools in Detroit are some
what like the schools here, only
in junior high we never go on
civic league trips which I enjoyed
going on while at Whittier.
I went to several different
schools in Detroit but the school
I like best and last attended was
Carver Junior high which is
named after our great Negro
scientist, Dr. George Washington
Carver. Colored children mostly
attended and we had colored
teachers. It is a large school with
a lafe cafeteria, auditorium and
gym. The gym is the place I was
most interested in for we girls
had a fine basketball team and
would invite teams from other
schools out to play us and in re
turn they would invite us ,to
play them. (I really miss the
, team.)
They also have a school paper
called “The Carver Flash” which
I named and was editor.
Being a Girl Scout, our troop
went on many interesting tours
and learned many things about
Detroit I did not know, nor will I
forget.
It is nice to be in a quiet city
after living in a large noisy one
all of your life. I intend to finish
here, go to college and major in
art. I am now taking an art
course on Saturdays at the Uni
f versity of Nebraska.
