In past years not as many students had completed their entire education from the students who had climbed the ropes. The staff asked Steve Fleming an articulate junior to share his reflections on Mr. Polk. A A certain man in the Lower School has probably had more influence on more students than any other instruc- tor at Woodward Academy. Respected and liked by the students in the Lower Middle and Upper Schools- Mr. Lindell E. Polk is one of those rare individuals who always has a smile and a warmth that perpetuates love and happi- ness. Mr. Polk s first assignment in l956 to the then GMA was machine-gun instructor while he was still in the army. Assigned to Korea and later Germany he always seemed to return for visits. After retiring as a Major in l965 Mr. Polk obtained a position as the Assistant Dean of Students. In I969 he moved to the Lower School as an elementary science teacher. ln I972 he became the assistant principal a post which he still holds. Engrossed in his work and in the welfare of his students Mr. Polk works effectively as an administrator and as a friend and counselor to his present and former students. The Phoenix the Academy and his students salute Mr. Polk for his outstanding contributions to education. I S lids I Lower School up, however, this year there were many Y! 71 1 1 , . ' 2 x
