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

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY We were strolling around on Sneak Day, and who should we meet but Batman. After talking to him for a while, he invited us to tour his cave. While there, we all gathered around the Batviewer and tuned it in to see what the class of 66 would be doing ten years after graduation. First we saw VICKI BJERRUM wearing a black leather jacket and helmet arriving on her Honda for a NORMal day of teaching. Next was henpecked DENNIS SEALEY. There's his wife BECKoning to him now. Reluctantly Den answers, Aw GEE, do 1 have to come? LOIS WILLIS is married and living on a farm near Hampton. She says all her children were early WOCHers. ARLYCE LIND says that she can't decide whether or not she likes her new job as EDDitor of the POLICEMAN'S Journal . We see that ALLAN NEUHAUS has graduated from pushing grocery carts to baby carts. BONNIE LITTY is seen with her family riding in a Rambler which they pur- chased from EBERHARDT'S in Aurora. BEV GLASSER is now a millionaire. She says she made her millions by capturing the DICKie market. CHERYL JOHNSON was found in Columbus married to a big WHETiL. Cheryl has just purchased a bicycle for the little WHEELERS. We also found PAT STUFFT in Columbus. She now holds a very high position at DALE'S Products. We saw DON HANQUIST in the service of our Country. He has enlisted in the MERCHANT Marines. MYRNA MERCHANT is also in the service of her country. She is working in a PX selling HANkies to the MERCHANT Marines. LYNN SUNDBERG has decided that the North Pole needs a Co-op station. He has established a service station for dog sleds. And LYNDA MYERS has some- how wandered to the North Pole. Much to her surprise she finds SUNDBERGS rather than icebergs. We found LOUISE MORRIS in the test kit- chens of General Mills, working with a new cereal called Little BUDS . MARY DOR EMUS has been quite busy lately, traveling to many new places as a Certified Public Accountant. At last report PAT FLODMAN was seen in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Pat has really turned the tables, she has a haram of 1001 husbands. JEAN LARKIN was seen at Harvard Uni- versity working toward her MRS degree. Just before the Batviewer faded we saw LYNDA VAN OSTRAND in a post office in Hawaii sorting the males. We hope she finds one that's strictly first-class. 14
