RNNOUCING HLRS5 HISTQRY As we are about to leave our Alma Mater, our thpughts and minds flash back to 19U6 when we were freshiea. Our class was made up of eighteen members which will all graduate together this year. We elected the following as class officers during our freshman year. Marilyn Dahlia------President Jo Ann Lind--------------Vice President Dorothy Hanquist-—— Sec. and Treas. Wayne Creech-------------News Reporter At the beginning of our Sophomore year we were happy to wel- come Roger Long from North Carolina and Norval Nielson from York. Our officers for this year were; Charles Ziegelbein--President Dale Nyberg--------------Vice President Leonard Anderson----Sec. and Treas. Burdette Flodman---------News Reporter Coach Wilhelms--------Sponsor Doyle Hahn, Burdette Flodman, Roger Long, Charles Ziegel- bein, Phyllis Rhode, Dorothy Hanquist, Shirley Scott, and Marilyn Dahlin were elected by the Juniors to be waitresses and waiters at the Junior Senior Banquet. All of the Sophomores returned for their Junior year. The officers for this year were: Dorothy Hanquist--—---President Marilyn Dahlin--—--Vice President LaVonne Lyle——————--Secretary Wayne Creech--------Treasurer Jo Ann Lind--------------News Reporter Mr. Hartmann--—--—----Sponsor Our Junior Play, It's a Great Life, was given on December third. On May 6th we entertained the Seniors at a Banquet given in their honor. We carried out the theme of a Nigi.s Club • Phyllis Rhode and Burdette Flodman lead the Seniors at Bac- calaureate and Marilyn Dahlin and Ralph Kahler lead the Seniors at Commencement. The second semseter of our Senior year Norval Nielson did not return with us. the entire class will give to this school a distinction in musical, atheltic and scholastic affairs. As th© mouthpiece of the graduating class of 1950, I feel it my duty to broadcast to you the great feats that this class will have accomplished in the next 20 years. Gloria Adelson is found on her dude Ranch in Kentucky were she breaks horses. She is also part time groom at the Person pros- pering ranch. It seems she is really in love with the owner and is trying to win his affections. Leonard Anderson is now head auctioneer at the Shanghai, China livestock markets. Len also has another profession namely, being a health officer. He is busy now inspecting all city dumps. Wayne Creech and his wife are seen coming down the street pushing a baby buggy. We look in and what do we find --Groceries 1111111 It seems Wayne is also doing his best to win a place on the High Praire basket ball town team. Since Rolland Dahlin didn't have any sons he was noping one of his daughters would follow in his footsteps, so Marilyn did. She is only a part time electrician, however, the rest of her time is spent in exploring foreign countries digging up old fossils for museums• I find Burdette Flodman in New York City playing basketball with the Midgets• He has a hobby of Ballet dancing in Times Square. I find Doyle Hahn in his observatory in Siam, where he has Just discovered a new planet. He has decided to name it after one of his favorites--Phyllis Rhode. He is going to call it Philroyll Pete is really busy, too, with harem. He is having quite some time with all his wives. Dorothy Hanquist has been seen in Switzerland where she is a part time cheesemaker, her specility is Dort's chosey cheezies. Dur- ing the rest of her time she is a Fertilizer saleswoman. One more thing we can say for Dort anyway 13 that she has had success in most fields. Ralph Kahler has been found in his hermitage in New Zealand where Tie is hardly recognized because of his long, black, curly locks and his black beard. Ralph is really busy working on his scien- tific report on the life of an earthworm. Next we venture deep into th© forests of Kentucky, we look up into th© sky and who should we see but Jack LaVelle in his helicopter, cruising over th© timbers. It seems he is a timber cruiser. As a hobby he is a pure seed inspector. His day off is spent inspec- ting seeds. We hear Swede Lind, JoAnn1s father, is rather dissapointed in his daughter since he paid Her tuition to four years of college and what does she do, but turn out to be head scrubwoman in Sin Lu's bar in Chinatown. N I i One afternoon In North Carolina, X ran across Huger Long. He d come back to his home state where he was planning to be a tobbacco farmer, but he didn't succeed In this, so he took up tne mortician profession and it seems he is really making a killing. LaVonne Lvle has gone to New York City where she's head bottler at the— Little Squirt factory. She Is also taking a great Interest In crime prevention so has decided to run for police captaincy. LaVonne also writes love stories for tne crime magazines. As I was strolling down the street one day I accidently ran Into Glenn Hill. As I conversed with him I discovered that my old school nh„m—Dale( Crow-hop) Nyberg—butlerlng at his home. He gained his position through Glenn's charming daughter, Dale s high scnool sweetheart. As they say, true love never falls . We find Elsie Ostrander In Hawaii where she has opened a blubber extracting plant. It seems she Is doing a wnale of a business. On the side Elsie Is a swaying hula hula dancer. She dances to the music of Charles legelbeln and his whining, walling qultar. Since Einsteins recent death we find Donald Persjon working like a slave on his latest formula, that of proving to the world the theory of gravity. Don will call this tneory X marks t.-.e spot------ 1-2-3. Phvllls Khoue always had the desire to be a nurseso in order to really learn the skill s:.e became a taxidermist. I found her In Alaska Stuffing olives. After a long search Shirley Scott has finally found her seat in In the Senate where'she recently Introduces a bill advocating that all seats be padded. We hear she just threw her hat in the ring and her platform this election Is free coinage of silver. If she loses the election she has decided to try her hand at wres- tling. I found borrell Shostrom as head barber in Sing Sing prison. Don't pet the laea that Dorrell is an inmate, but it aeems e pas- sed his barber's exams with flying colors and has made progress working up to this position. His main duty is the shaving of heads, before the last mile, that's why so many of our Seniors are bald. It seems Charles Zleglebeln had no Intention of becoming a guitar player but it appears he just couldn't make a go at street clean- ing so he went to Hawaii where he has a band, raises cocoanuts, monkeys, and teaches girls the hulu hulu dance. f (r CLASS PDEM How glorious the class of 1950; Pour years ago with minds quite thrifty, Embacked upon the journey long With ne'er a thought of going wrong. As Freshies green we were a sight. Worked all day and wept at night; Our upper classmen we did fear And stayed our distance that whole year. As sophisticated Sophomores we thought we knew. Everything that we should do; We finally found to our dismay That teachers wouldn't stand for play. As Jolly Juniors, you could say. That we worked hard on our Glass Play; But on our banquet we worked harder still A night of enjoyment for Seniors fulfill. Now, as Seniors, we can see That dumb forever we will be; But, we'll try to make the best of life And overcome this world of strife. Sitting down and becoming serious, Forgetting times that were delirious; We will mention, because we should; Polk High School days sure were goodl CLASS CCLCRS KELLY CREEN AND WHITE CLASS FLCWER WHITE CARNATION CLASS MCTTC TODAY WE FDLLDW TQMDRRDW WE LEAD II SENIDR CLASS PLAY THE OLD HOME TOWN Henry Irving, a email town druggist---------------------Burdette Flodman Irene, his wife............--------------------- La Vonne Lyle Andy, their high-school age son--------—---------Ralph Kahler Alice, their ambitious daughter---------------- Marilyn Dahl in Tom, Henry's bachelor brother— ------------------ Roger Long June Miller, a new neighbor---------------------Shirley Scott Clark Kent, Alice's former sweetheart------Charles Ziegelbein Carol Brewster, the banker's daughter-------------Jo Ann Lind Student Director------------------------------Dorothy Hanquist The action revolves around the Irving family of father, mother, daughter and high-school son, Andy, who is inter- ested in the nextdoor neighbor. Henry, the father, is a druggist whose business goes on the rocks when a chain store moves into town. Henry is badly in need of a thousand doll- ars, and tidies to get everybody to loan him the money, in- cluding Alice, his daughter. Alice, the daughter, has been in New York where she has written a novel that everyone in town is talking about. She was engaged to Clark Kent, but she broke up with him, since than Clark has been going with Carol Brewster, daughter of the bank president. The story develops into a highly entertaining drama which ends with Henry getting his money and the crowd rolling in the aisles.

Thorpe, secretary for the Laurences—--George 8cott FIXIT, INCORPORATED concerns Itself with two young college men and a girl who attempt to create their own places in the world. The plot entails many humorous situa- tions which arise on the first day of their business exper- iences, as they organize Fixit, Incorporated, and enterprise dedicated to fixing the ills of the nation. Lack of money in the company treasury necessitates the use of boxes which they find In their deserted office, instead of furniture. To this office comes an unusual group of people who need some- thing fixed which furnished a multitude of rib-cracking laughs. I '4 ' • v ' Senior y ° On the eve of May 6, 19l(.9� the Juniors were hosts to the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme was the Silver Star Night Club. A large silver star representing the sign of the club, greeted the Seniors as they came In the door. Upon entering the auditorium everyone checked their coats at the hat check stand which was managed by Jeanette'Cramer and Arlene Van- Ostrand. They went Into the lounge, which was dimly lighted and fur- nished with davenports and easy chairs. At 7 o'clock the french doors were opened by John Holmes, the doorman. As Junior and Senior girls and their escorts entered the open air terrace a large spot light followed them to their respective seats. After they were seated a program w s held which consisted of: PROGRAM S alute to Seniors........... Dorothy Hanqulst I deals Rowena Light L ady In White...............

Below the stage was blue crepe paper, stret- ched to the floor upon which hung the seniors motto Not at the Top But Clumbing . In front of the stage was a huge silver star. In front of which the entertain'd !?' stood. All during the evening different colored lights were played upon this star. The tables were arranged in a semi circle around, the outside of the floor. The center pieces consisted of candles, which furnished the light during the dinner. The waiters for the banquet were chosen from the Sophmore class. They were: Jim Klingsporn, Jack Myers, John Holmes, Mac Gleim, and Roger Werner. BACK HOW: Dennis Light, Jack Myers, Waldon McNaught, John Holmes, Mac Gleim, Hlchard Rosno.

Burdette Flodman, Norval Neilsen, and Roger Long made all Conference: Jack Lavelle, Dorrel Shos- trom, George Scott and Jim Klingsporn made all Conference honorable mention. Long made florid Herald all-state honor- able mention at left half. The 1949 football squad chose Roger Long as their honor ary captain for the year. Polk finished second in the Conference, losing to Clarks in the championship game in the last minute of play 6 —0 The football team featured a rugged hard-charging line plus a fast hard-hitting backfleld. The line gave proof of this by holding six of the opponents; the backfield proved itself by scoring a total of 124 points. On November 15, at the athletic banquet JoAnn Lind was crowned Queen and Roger Long King of Football for 1949. This banquet was sponsored by the Commercial Club and the featur- ed speaker was Cregg McBride. V V V V t BASKETBALl Left to Right: Burdette Flodraan, Charles Ziegelbein, Jack Lavelle, John Helves.

Jack Myers was to go along with us, but the mumps interferred, as they so often did throughout the year. DECEMBER: This was the month the mixed chorus. Boy's Glee, and Girl's Glee tried an all out effort to combine for the 2nd annual Carols of Christmas concert. Big things were planned but had to be abandoned because of the mumps. So many of the students were absent, it was impossible to think of such a program. The chorus classes turned to enjoying Christmas carols and fun songs. Wed. 21--Mixed Chorus, or those of us who were not out of school having a swell time, went caroling to approximately twenty-five homes and then had a chili feed at the school. It was cold but our hearts were warm with the Christmas spirit. JANUARY: Thure. 5-0rand Island Chamber of Conmerce showed the Harvest of Harmony films to the Polk community. It was a thrill to the bandsmen to see themselves on the screen. Throughout January and Pebruary the members of the Pep Band again showed their loyalty by playing for every home basketball game. They assisted the Pep Club in a few half-time shows. The most outstand- ing of these was perhaps the Friday 13th show in which superstition was defied, even to the black cat hoodoo. PEBRUARY: Prl. 2I4.—We were still harrassed by the mumps but came through with a band concert. It was our first con- cert appearance all year.
