Desk
The desk was made by me as a manual
training class project in West High School,
Green Bay, Wisconsin, during the school
year 1928-29, the first year in the new
building. Mr. Leaonard F. Stacker was the
teacher.
The desk has a flat top on tapered legs.
There is one wide drawer. Lumber species
is butternut, stained walnut color.
Dimensions: 29 inches high, 30 inches wide,
and 18 inches deep.

OldThings.html#lamp
Desk Lamp
Flexible (goose neck) study lamp was
purchased for my use when I enrolled at
the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in
September 1931. The dark green color was
chosen to harmonize with the green
stained dormitory furniture. For two
school years I lived in Room 202, Tarrant
House, Adams Hall on the university
campus.
The lamp was used by me during four
student years and subsequently in all
the various roominghouses until I entered
the army in March of 1941. After the war
it continued as part of our household,
but was not used so much. During the past
few years it has served as an auxillary
shop light in the basement.
The electrical cord was replaced once.
