This cut our class down to 13 which ma es up tlTclass of CLASS POEM We, The Seniors We had our time as day by day. We came to Polk to work and play. We're leaving now with tears in our eyes. For it s time to give our last goodbyes. Goodbye dear friends that we have known, To us true friendship you have shown. Goodbye to the campus and the school, It was here we learned the golden rule. Goodbye to the times that we had. Whether they were good or bad. For it was through our work and play. We've been prepared for future days. We're going into the wide-wide world. With Polk High learning like a flag unfurl'd; Let's bear that banner really high. That the American way may never die. We're headed for wars, world of trouble. We'll falter not, but work redoubled Polk High has helped each one or us, So let's succeed, nIn God We Trust.” CLASS PLAY f,The Campbells Are Comingn The Campbells Are Coming” is a hilarious farce with hillbilly trimmings, describing the most effective technique for getting rid of an undesirable suitor. Kaye Brannigan returns from a girls' school chock-full of culture. Much to her family's disgust, she breaks with sturdy, dependable Jeff Scudder and announces her engagement to a young snob, Kingston Campbell, Learning that Kingston's aristocratic mother believes that the Brannigans are hillbillies and that Kingston and his mother are coming for a visit to find out the truth, the re- sourceful Brannigans disguise themselves as hillbillies and receive the guests during the absence of Kaye, who has hastened to a nearby city to purchase everything from caviar to tuxedos in order to impre� the Campbells, The Brannigans appear barefoot, dressed in rags and carrying shotguns, frightening the Campbells half out of their wits by mistaking them for Vevenooers.” One riotously funny situation follows another in rapid succession. An old hen lays an egg in Mrs, Campbell's ritzy hat, Jeff starts a feud witn Kingston and chases him with a rifle. Mrs, Campbell faints and is accidentally revived from a jug of moon- shine, under the influence of which she makes some startling revela- tions regarding her past life and identity. At last Kingston indig- nantly refuses to marry Kaye, and the Brannigans rejoice that their scheme has worked. Then, Just as the Campbells are about to depart, in walks Kaye, wrathfully demanding explanations. xhe Brannigans finally explain and Jeff turns cave man in order to win Kaye.

SIDELIGHTS OF THE SEASON The autumn sun rose on a new football season with Polk having a total of twenty-three out for football. Of these four were regulars from the 19li9 team. The season also marked a new coach coming in and with him came a new system. The boys went right out and learned the T of winning football before the first game. It is evident that they were taught well because the seasonb record speaks for itself. All In all it was the most successful season that Polk has had for some time. The Cubs were victorious over St. Paul, Shelton, Genoa, Clarks, Osceola, St. Mary's of Grand Island, and Edgar. The lone defeat was given to us with the compliments of Stromsburg. Because of this we were forced to share the Goldenrod Conference Honors with the Stromsburg team. At the Conference meeting honors were given to several Polk boys with GAYLEN HOLMES, JOHN HOLMES, MAC GLEIM placed on the first team and JIM KLINGSPORN, DUANE JOHNSON, and WALDON MCNAUGHT receiving honorable mention. JOHN HOLMES and JIM KLINGSPORN received Omaha World Herald All-State Class D team honors and GAYLEN HOLMES made the All-State Class D team in the Lincoln State Journal. Besides this our team was ranked first until its defeat by Stromsburg upon which they dropped to third and finished the season there in the Omaha World Herald. GAYLEN HOLMES, JIM KLINGSPORN, WALDON McNAUGHT, and JOHN HOLMES also received Star of The Week honors for outstanding perform- ances in individual contests. The Polk Cubs made a record that we can be proud of-seven won and one lost. The team was a fine example of fair and square football. Coach Phillips D. Nyberg D. Flodman K. Werner M.
