I lived across the street and one block south of Kemper Hall for 18 yrs as a child. The Durkee Mansion is on the west side of 3rd Avenue directly across from Kemper Hall which is on the east side, right along the lake. I also attended Kemper for 2 years. Kemper might have started as a college, I'm not sure, but was not one during my lifetime - it had grades 1-12. While only girls could board, local boys were also admitted by the 1980s - not sure when that practice started. As part of school spirit activities, all new students were put in one of two groups: Awisisas and Nikiwikas ( probably not spelled correctly), known affectionately as Sissies (team color red) and Kookoos (team color green), and each new student was assigned an experienced student from the same group as a guide for the first year, referred to as a big sister/brother. Since they were chosen by drawing a name, it was possible for a big sister to be substantially younger than the little sister; I was in 4th grade and my little sis was in high school! In a fashion that would be understood by Harry Potter fans, the two groups competed for members, glory on field day, and in other activities throughout the year. The nuns made communion wafers on site as a means of supporting themselves. When the school closed the nuns (who were all elderly) moved to Racine, Wi to the Dekoven Center.Jilsdottir (talk) 12:33, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
