McDONALD CO.-Grand Island, Nebraska DR. R. R. DOUGLAS-Clarks, Nebraska 6 In Memoriam RANDALL ZLOMKE A senior of Clarks High School whose earthly life was ended, November 7, after a tragic accident. I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead,-he is just away! With a cherry smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you-O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Think of him still as the same, I say; He is not dead,-he is just away!

Senior Class History In the fall of 1949. twelve little tots tiptoed to their chairs in the kindergarten room of Clarks Public Schools. They were: Mary Jane Booth. Ronnie Beck, Clifford Colbert, Jimmy Dittmer, Jimmie Hoffer, Cheryl Murphy. Denny Osterman, Jean Pierce, Asa Lloyd Pollard, Roger Richards, Margaret Rose, and Joan Stromberg. Our teacher duringthat important first year was Mrs. Pullen. The following year we all advanced into the first grade where our teacher was again Mrs. Pullen. As we wound our way into the second grade we lost Roger Richards, Margaret Rose, and Jimmie Hoffer. Joan Branting, Linda Schott, and KoAnn Sherrill joined us and Mrs. Pullen was our teacher once more. In the third grade our teacher was Miss Sweet. This year we gained Mary Hardy, and Bobby Hardy and lost them a few months later. Ronnie Beck also left us that year. The following year, as fourth graders, we moved into Miss Messner's capable hands. Don Kelly joined our class that year. In the fifth grade we gained several new members. They were: Floyd Belt, Richard Brauer, Kathryn Cahill, and Jimmie Hoffer. Mrs. Sloan was our teacher. Before the year was over, Don Kelly, Richard Brauer, and Floyd Belt left us. Twelve of us reached the halfway mark in our school careers when we entered the sixth grade under Mrs. Sloan. We traveled on to the seventh grade where Ron Zegar, Joan Zelazny, and Ray Zelasney joined us and Mrs. Craig became our teacher. Jim Hoffer left us that year. Mrs. Craig taught us again during our eighth grade year. We gained John Kohl and Jerry Kohl that year and sixteen of us received our diplomas in the spring. Several new faces were seen as twenty-five excited freshmen started their trek through high school. They were: Ron Beck, Twyla Church, Kathy Dexter, Richard Friedrichsen, Dan Grafe, Gene Heule, Linda Little, Eugene Urkoski, and Marlene Williams. We chose blue and gold as our class colors, the American Beauty Rose as our class flower, and Live and Learn as our class motto. Mr. Strickland became our sponsor. djLOM w 1 During our Sophomore year Jerry Kohl and Joan Branting dropped out of school and Ron Beck left for Central City. As Juniors we lost John Kohl when he dropped out of school. During this year we received our class rings, presented our first class play, If Mother Only Knew and entertained the Seniors of ’60 at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. For this festive occasion we chose A Song In My Heart as the theme. We gained Randall Zlomke and lost him a few months later in a tragic accident during our Senior year. We went to Haberman’s in Hastings to have our Senior pictures taken early in the year and we presented our Senior Class Play, Dear Diary in April. The Juniors entertained us at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 4. The theme was An Evening In Paris . We went to Denver, Colorado on Sneak Day on May 12. The Class of ’61 numbers nineteen as we near the goal toward which we have been working for so many years—graduation. Senior Class Prophecy 1961 Under the Spreading Chestnut tree In the year of 1973 Stands the class of 1961 Reunited together one by one Over yonder we see Mary Jane Who is noted for her fabulous brain She lives in the upper part of New York And makes Magnetic ’ Spaghetti that stays on your fork Twyla’s a detective bold They say she’s worth more than gold She has the robbers on the run Maybe she’ll replace the late Peter Gunn It seems someone has become well-known He bought Russia on a long-term loan Ron Zegar is the chap’s name Who is now seen in the Halls of Fame Why who’s that over in the corner we see? It looks like it could be Gene Urkoski He now owns a famous Polka Band That is heard and loved throughout the land Gene and JoAnn are husband and wife They are extremely enjoying this married life Gene is a farmer who works hard all day But with 12 little kids it just doesn’t pay Here comes Kathy in her working dress Seems she’s become a stewardess Dick’s still employed by the U. S. Air Force And Kathy has got to help him. of course Jim Dittmer is a pilot, you recall He first learned to fly planes in Study Hall He flies through the air in his B-38 At astonishing speeds no one can break We now see a streak—oh—oh, a crash That was Asa Pollard in the 100 Yd. Dash It seems he is a great Olympic Star And also runs his own grill and bar Is that a cowboy I see? Why I believe its Ray Zelasney He owns a big ranch down Texas v ay And is married to Kathy Schutte they say Dennis Osterman is very well-known For the wit and humor he has shown He’s been in Las Vegas, he’s been in L. A. He’ll probably be in Hollywood someday Dan Grafc took some pills to reduce his weight They certainly decided his wonderful fate He's now slim and trim, with the girls at his door And lives in a mansion on South Pacific Shore Joan Zelazny owns a chain of cafes This kind of business really pays She lives in a house with gold-studded doors And has white mink carpets on her floors Our Linda Little now playing with band aids and splints Has earned her reward by caring for a prince And Jerry, so youthful, laughing and gay Found his life-time companion with Linda—You don't say Richard Friedrichsen has become a pro He is a great football hero whom we all know He plays on the Baltimore Bombers Team Just to please, his wife Marlene KoAnn Sherrill is a political success Everyone writes to her well-known address She lives in a cottage on the north side of Rome But everyone knows that Clarks is her home Linda Schott who we see over there She's the one with the long red hair It seems she is cover girl for the magazine Life And is also Jerry Ksiazek's sweet loving wife Kathryn Cahill is now a Librarian Who ran away and married a Siberian They have their own libraries from coast to coast And from here to Siberia they're really the most Marlene is a woman dentist we hear She drills and drills from ear to ear She's married to a man whom we all know Yes, it's Richard the Football pro Each morning sees some task begun Each evening sees it close Something attempted, something done Has earned a year's repose Junior Class CLASS COLORS ..............Black Gold CLASS FLOWER . . .
