CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1954, twenty-three courageous Cubs entered the Polk Public School system, Sharren Cohagen, Mary Doremus, Pat Flodman, Dennis Green, Donnie Hanquist, Harry Johnson, Jean Larkin, Arlyce Lind, Bonnie Litty, Myrna Merchant, Jimmy Morris, Lynda Myers, Allan Neuhaus, Eddie Ruzicka, Ronnie Skaden, Pat Stufft, Lynn Sundberg, Neal VanHousen, Greg Wilhelms, Evelyn Steward, Judith Ann LaValley, Bobby White, and Connie Bolton. Our first teacher was Miss Hanquist. With the exception of Connie Bolton, who left us at the end of the first year, the members of the Cub den remained the same. Our teacher this year was Mrs. McNaught; Mrs. Hill also substitute taught part of the year. During our second grade year our den was vacated by, Dennis Green, Greg Wilhelms, Evelyn Steward, Judith Ann LaValley. However we gained Beverly Glasser and Connie Bolton. Our teacher was Mrs. Sterner. Dennis Sealey put his fingers in our Honey jar in the third grade. Our teacher this year was Mrs. Doyle Howitt. Leaving our lair were, Harry Johnson, Ronnie Skaden, and Neal VanHousen, but we gained Carol Petty. This year's teacher was Miss Hanquist again. The grizzlies gained one! Louise Morris joined us our fifth grade year. Our teacher was Mrs. Sterner. Eddie Ruzicka and Lynda VanOstrand exchanged porridge bowls, as Eddie left and Lynda came during our sixth grade year. Our teacher this time was Mrs. Shostrom. Goldilocks , Cheryl Johnson, joined us in our seventh grade year, with Mrs. Johnson as our teacher. As we entered Junior High the number of Cub counselors increased, but we neither gained or lost any new members. From den leading Junior High schoolers, the next year, our freshman year, we fell under the influence of the growing grizzly seniors, but we decided to grin and bear it! With shaking paws we welcomed Lois Willis. With our bear tails bristling with buck shot, we borrowed some watermelons for our sophomore sale. The bear budget was credited with one addition--Vicki Bjerrum joined us. As Juniors, distinguished den dwellers all, we decided to bear a larger share of the high school responsibilities. The Junior Class Play, Cowboys and Indians was a howling (growling) success. The Teddy Bears Picnic, our Junior-Senior Banquet, was held In the Misty Moonlight , the banquet's theme. Lair Leaders at Last! Our high school career just bear-ly begun was nearly a closed Cub Chapter. Sweet was the honey of our senior successes. Savoring this nectar were the eighteen graduating seniors of Polk High School Class of 1966. We lost one member, Sharren Cohagen, leaving the final Cub count, Vicki Bjerrum, Mary Doremus, Pat Flodman, Bev Glasser, Donnie Hanquist, Cheryl Johnson, Jean Larkin, Arlyce Lind, Bonnie Litty, Myrna Merchant, Louise Morris, Lynda Myers, Allan Neuhaus, Dennis Sealey, Pat Stufft, Lynn Sundberg, Lynda Van Ostrand, and Lois Willis. 12
