fPropL ropnecy It was the year of 1970 that I decided to go back to earth from my planetary home. Here I found what I had predicted when I graduated. My first stop was unexpected, for a patrolman stopped me. Here was Gary Stohl one of the meanest cops in the Midwest. Donald Morris I found in New York playing middle line backer for the New York Giants. In the winter he helps the New York Knickerbockers play basketball. Now don't laugh but Gayle Stromberg is the number one comedian in the nation. His partner is Red Skelton. Lynda Dornburgh, after fishing for an occupation, has finally become a secretary for the J. W. Fisher's aquarium. I found Fritz Otte in Kansas City wrestling with the midgets. For a sideline he instructs in ballet dancing. In Hawaii was Karen Ang, the most famous hula dancer of the island. She dances to the music of Presley and Company. Glenn Dobberstein took up the mortician profession and is he ever making a killing!! It's not surprising to me to find Roger Merchant driving a red and white milk truck for Louie Lindburg of Stromsburg. Donna Flodman was on her way to her secretarial job in the State Capitol Building. She is private secretary to the governor. Joe Fisher was in Washington D.C. as the top scientist working on a rocket to hit the planet Pluto. His hobby is keeping an aquarium (and other things). Warren Bedient was in Columbia University as a Professor of English. He says he owes all his success to his high school English teacher. On my return trip I felt slight pangs of hunger. Upon going to the rockets kitchen, whom should I find as cook but Dianne Dor emus. She was mixing one of my favorite dishes. 4mbition$ Roger Merchant: make it to the Olympics Warren Bedient: become a Romeo Karen Ang: secretary for Elvis Presley Donna Flodman: secretary Gary Stohl: receive Doctor's Degree Glenn Dobberstein: a farmer Joe Fisher: head of the Physics Department at Columbia University Dianne Doremus: a reservationist at an airport Don Morris: a businessman Fritz Otte: to make the Navy his career Gayle Stromberg: become a millionaire Lynda Dornburgh: become a nurse

We, the Class of 1960. Have been able from the start To make our way completely Into every teacher's heart. Listen, while we tell you Of the special things we've done-- How we helped to make decisions In the way the school was run. First, there is the English class. All quiet, you can see; But suddenly, a lot of noise; Who else but Warren B. In algebra, the brains are clicking As they figure x plus y plus z Ah there; Lynda has the answer. She says it's J. F. plus L. D. In chemistry, it is well known That formulas will vary; They added heat to nitric acid Boom! There went Joe and Gary! The Home Ec. class was learning To do dishes with a bang. Who cooked up this mess of hash? Donna Flodman and Karen Ang. jPoem But wait a tiny minute. Here, as serious as can be. Is a girl who really wants to cook And then get married--Dianne D. The Annual Staff was working-- Plans for pages being made. Where are all the photographs That Roger has mislaid? The study hall is crowded And is it noisy? Very! But here is one who knows his words Fritz reads the dictionary! The shop boys are learning fast At metal they were a whiz. And when it comes to welding Gayle and Glenn are the best there is And then we have a student Who's good in every course Who could this senior be? Why, indeed, it's Donnie Morris. Now the roll has all been read Each student called by name With all these many talents We're in Polk's Hall of Fame. Kelly Green and Silver White Rose
