' DEDICATION MRS. ANNA MAE FLOURA The Senior class of 1987 is proud to dedicate this year’s yearbook to Mrs. Anna Mae Floura. Most of us have had Mrs. Floura for a class or two. She has been a great teacher and a great friend. Mrs. Floura graduated from Blackduck High School in 1946. She continued her education at the University of Minnesota, where her major was Home Economics. She was inspired by her Home Economics teacher and her father. She chose her profession because she always liked home cooking. She has been teaching since 1951 and has been at Blackduck since 1954 where she started teaching part-time. She says that what she enjoys most about teaching is being with young people, she can be creative, and the variety in her job — since no two days are ever the same. Mrs. Floura has four children: Mary, Pat, Warren, and Joan. In her spare time she likes to bike, cross-country ski, fish, work in her garden, read, sew, and cook. Enjoy your retirement Mrs. Floura and once again, THANK YOU!
