Gridiron Club 60th Anniversary Menu

Gridiron Club 60th Anniversary Menu | Print | Wisconsin Historical Society
Menu from the sixtieth anniversary dinner of the Gridiron Club, with a half-length cartoon view (by Clifford K. Berryman?) of club president Lyle C. Wilson holding a gavel and shaking hands with another man (Ben: Perley Poore) whose speech bubble reads, "Congratulations, Lyle, you're holding to the good old traditions and going like Sixty." The years "1885" and "1945" with the gridiron emblems flank the two figures.
