Rocket '66 Coggon of North-Linn Editor: Mary Carol Eiler Ass't. Editor: Karla Henderson Business Manager: Charlene Mollenhauer Ass't. Business Manager: Nancy Emerson Dedication Four years of English taught by “Mac” in the North-Linn Com- munity School District (Coggon) has given us more than skills and in- formation. We have learned that a teacher can be a real friend. His friendly smile and understanding counsel have helped us meet the daily problems of a student and will continue to aid us in meeting the problems of life. In teaching us the game of school he has prepared us for the game of life. We, the class of 1966, respectfully dedicate to you, Mr. McAreavy, our yearbook.

CHARLOTTE AVIS If silence is golden, I'm broke. CHARLENE BATY I was cut out to be an an- gel but someone ran away with the pattern. GREG BRESSLER A Romeo who has found his Juliet. BECKY BURKE Fun is the spice of life, and she likes lots of sea- soning. STAN CALDWELL Never was afraid of wo- men - but business is business. BERTHA BROWN Silence doesn't indicate lack of wisdom.

RUTH KELCHEN Happy I am, from care I am free. Why aren't they all content like me. ART HINTON Quiet until you get to know me.

Maybe he won't notice it if we forget about this part.

Senior High Football PERFECT RECORD; CONFERENCE CHAMPS The first year for the Coggon football squad under the name of North- Linn proved to be extremely successful. They ended the season with a 8-0 overall record and a 6-0 conference record to be named Pinicon Conference Champs. Coach Carney said of the team, The perfect season was the re- sult of an exceptional team effort. It is interesting to note that the team was never behind in any game. The squad was picked by the conference coaches as a second division team. The Senior boy receiving the Jim Arduser Award was Dave Kerr. He was a co-captain with Dave Henderson. On November 1, the Student Council provided for a party for the junior and senior high school honoring the team and coaches. A cake was pre- sented to them. Mr. Carney was the head coach; assistant coaches were Mr. Albers, Mr. Sodawasser, and Mr. Dettbarn.

The first round of sectional tournaments was lost to East Buchanan. Karla Henderson represented the team in the tournament free throw con- test. She placed 2nd in the sectionals, 1st in the district and she won the right to go to the state contest in Des Moines. She did well there considering the stiff competition. The team journeyed to Des Moines in March to attend the tournament games. Block that shot!- Jump Karla! ! Dr. Dettbarn?!?!

Track The Coggon track team had a very successful season. The squad of 16 boys was well balanced in scoring points which meant that they were in contention for the title of every meet entered. The Rockets started the season with a victory in a Triangular Meet at Central City. David Henderson won the mile run, Dennis Henderson won the half-mile run, Doug Shaffer won the shot put, and Dave Kerr won the discus. The 880 yd. relay, 2 mile relay, 440 yd. relay, and the med- ley relay were won also by Coggon. A third-place finish was obtained in the Pinicon Conference Track Meet at Lin-Mar. David Henderson won the mile run in record time of 4:57, Doug Shaffer won the shot put, and Doug Henderson won the pole vault. Coggon again finished third in the All-Ac Conference Meet at Lin- Mar. Doug Shaffer won the shot put with a record distance of 41' 4 1 2 , Chris Franson won the discus, and Doug Henderson won the pole vault. At the District Meet at Cedar Falls, Coggon finished with 13 1 2 points. Doug Henderson placed in the pole vault, Randy Shackelford placed in the high jump, Chris Franson placed in the discus, the 2-mile relay placed, and David Henderson placed third in the mile run with 4:46 which qualified him for the State Meet at Drake in Des Moines.
