Right: 1956 Polka Band with Jerry Book at the Helm Left to right: Jerry Book, Connie Petersen, Ronnie Strother, Julie Cox, Nadine Safly, and Mrs Voigt. Notice the very young age of some of participating members in all these photos. This is one of the advantages of a school such as ours-- One could participate at most any age and ability, just have the desire to be a part of the organization. Or, start your own.
