Ninety-six forsaken, not knowing where to go, freshmen marched through that door to the first of their four memorial years spent within its walls. After a few weeks of ex- citement and exploration, they settled down to the business of obtaining them- selves an education. This class of 49 then celebrated the annual wearing of the green, and under the able leadership and guidance of Iohn Boeve as president and Miss Whit- nell as class sponsor, they soon over- came the difficulties which only a Fresh- men can realize. These Hdauntless Frosh not only ob- served a roller skating party but also gave an eventful beach party in honor of the class of 48 . This Sophomore year was passed in much the usual wayi The class sponsor- ship was taken over by Miss De longe. At the elections, lohn Boeve was again chosen president, and then the class passed on to the Freshmen the thrill of initiation. The major event of the year was a fun-filled tobogganing party at which 85 Sophs were present. The to- bogganing took place at the country club and refreshments were served at the Youth Center. As forty-niners, the class settled down to a busy Iunior year under the direction of a new president, Arlene Wal- ters. First came a competitive magazine IACK SHERIDAN Gull mm' rnnzr and girfv nmv gn but I rnmzzu l0n':'1'r.

The lunior-Senior Banquet at the Spring Lake Country Club, given in honor of the seniors, climaxed the event of the year. With this annual, spring, social high-light we successfully ended our lunior year. All too quickly arose the Senior Class. The thrill of becoming an upper classman had somehow been left be- hind, ninety-six eager freshmen had been cultivated until only 67 determined Seniors remained. Shirley Heyboer, as class president, very ably held the reigns throughout the Senior year. With enthusiasm the forty-niners entered the annual magazine drive and sponsored numerous bake good sales to build up their treasury. Once again the class play, 'The Baby Sitter , under the direction of Mrs. lanssen, proved to be a great success. Then the edition of The Stepping Stone, the Iunior-Senior Ban- quet, the long anticipated boat trip to Chicago, Class Night , Baccalaureate, Commencement on Iune 8, 1949, moved them on toward their destination- graduation. This caravan of covered wagons has reached the crest of the hill-the future lies ahead. - B11 LORRAINE BEKINS Sfxf' hay ll :fluff Innlc, lm! funky arf' l1r'l'r'l1'1'1xg, Glee Club l Home Economics Club 2 Y-Teens 3, 4 Class Play 4 Commercral Club 4 Annual Staff 4 Athletlc Slsters 4 Bowlmg 4 Chorus 4 NORMA BEl.TlvlAN EL'.f'1' lfmughtvzrl, lglnrf, und' przfifrzlf' Home Economrcs Club 2, 4 Cwlee Club l MARCIA BERGHOHST I llufr1,ul'0l1,w l1nmnr.

Let's see-here it is: SURVEY OE THE CLASS OP '49 REVEALS VARIETY OE VO- CATlONS. Now, that remains to be seen, Looks as if they're all listed : Lorraine Bekins has been working very hard lately as secretary to the lazy gover- nor of Michigan, Iohn Rookus. Norma Beltman has been appointed coun- selor of an All-Boys' School at Boys Town, Nebraska. Marcia Berghorst has made great progress as director of Zeeland Philharmonic Sym- phony Orchestra, composed of Eleanor Pul. playing a bass horn, Nelson Gebben a pic- colo. Soloists are Carol De Iongh a soprano, and Gordon Vander Meulen, bass. Larry Dickman is following in his father's foot-steps as principal of Zeeland High School. CAlso losing hair.l Gordon Huizenga and lim Poortenga, run- ning the poor farm in Borculo, have been fined for stealing from one of their best cus- tomers, Mickey Wyngarden. They took one of her treasured bracelets, which was given to her by Dick Carlson, who broke her heart when he deserted her and married another classmate, Carolyn Bol nan. Abbott and Costello have been run out of business by none other than the world's greatest comedians, Odell De Ionge and Kenneth Van Haitsma. Their latest picture is We Kill 'Em All. Their leading lady is Betty Vander Kolk. Marvin Huyser is taking over his father's grocery business in Beaverdam. He is as- sisted by his wife, the former Muriel Boon, who takes care of his egg route. Iohn de Vries, who is Oaklands first photographer, has been having wonderful success all because of his able assistant, Shirley Hungerink, who helps him in the dark room. Marilyn Romeyn has set up her cat shop in Vriesland. Of course, if it were not for her most frequent customer, Ted Vander Ploeg, who loves fuzzy wuzzys as she does, her business would fail. Clarence Timmerman, better known as Weeds, has become sampler at the Lucky Strike factory in Kentucky. - Psychiatrist, Bernard Ozinga of Benthiem has been making frequent trips to Calvin College where Shirley Heyboer is an English Professor. Since the death of Al Iolson, who was heard over WGN, people have been turning their dials to WEAE to hear none other than lack Sheridan, who has been coaxed by all the glamour girls to begin his career as a famous crooner. Harvard Meyers, the flirtatious playboy, is now an eligible bachelor. He has just moved to Overisel where Mildred Berghorst and Rhona Smidderks are diligently taking care of him, Lois Boes, who has settled down to a peaceful home life with her four children, has now started a ballet school, where her manager, Sherwin Nagelkerk, and assistant instructor, Geraldine Schaap. have made progress with Babe's children, in hope they will become future cheer leaders. Ronald Meeuwsen, Wayne Nykamp. as industrious carpenters, have made four push carts for Donna Martinie, Ellamae Meeuw- sen, Audrey De Ionge. and Wilma Papp who have gone to Hollywood and are selling fruit on the street corners. Peter Roon and Bill Harmson have gone into the Ford business. Their associate busi- ness women, Marilyn De Ionge and Ruth Vcm Bronkhorst, have invented a new radio combination of whistling with a piano ac- companiment which they installed in their Fords. Bernice Cook, Iune Henderson. Coralee Nies, Donna Veldhuis, Lorraine Lokers, Nor- ma Tanis, and Norma Van Ham have gone to New York and surprised the aristocratic alumni with their smash hit Chorus Girls. The Rev. Arthur Lenski and his wife, the former Eloise Bosch, have now moved to Pearline where he is a minister. Wendell Lubbinge has become a famous surgeon in Burnips. His success is partially due to his capable wife, the former Arlene Walters. By the way, they also have two secretaries, Ruth and Mary Wyngarden. Harold Hodge and his wife, Nella Pyle, have been going from coast to coast with their three children, staging dramatic plays. Mr. Iohn Boeve and his wife, the former Verna Smallegan, have been writing novels. Their latest edition is Advice to the Love- less. Miss Merilyn Post is employed by the H. I. Heinz Company as superintendent of the dieting kitchen. Anne Holstege, known for her scientific ability, has just invented a way to stop mice from sgueaking. For people who hate mice - go see Anne. Leola Van Koevering, Dorothy Hall. and Betty Boelofs have started their own model- ing shop in Rusk. They attended many dif- ferent modeling schools. Harriet Gruppen is counting beans in The Bean Bag Manufacturing Company. As she works you can hear her mutter, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not! Marilyn Broersma has taken over Miss De longe's position as Mathematics teacher of Zeeland High School. ' E 3 11 .Las-ug Q .' x ' 'Q '.,s'2 . 'vm'- 1 f '., ' flux' i' 4- ,fff 'A - ,wi nf .

Led by Mrs, Walchenbach and Mr. Cour- ter, two excellent sponsors, they had a very successful year at Zeeland High School. Their guidance has meant a lot to them as everything was quite new and strange. OFFICERS President .,.......,,. Roger Snow Vice-President ,.....

Queen J-llyhlife Sfeeilrall Season A hard-fighting line and a speedy back- field, headed by Coach Elzinga, was given its first encounter of the season when the Chix bumped up against a powerful and scrappy Cfrandville eleven which walked off the field with a 14-U win over the Chix. Having lost the first encounter, the boys met Fennville the next week with high hopes of beginning a winning streak. The Chix got off to a bad start and were on the short end of a 7-O score at the halftime. However, in the second half Zeeland began to click and the first touchdown was made on a pass from Baterink to Carlson. After this Zeeland scored twice more to put them out in front, l9-7 at the end of the game. Next, the Chix tangled with Wyoming Park in a slightly one-sided game. Wyoming scored twice in the opening period and once in the second, placing the Chix behind, l8-U. The following week the Chix squad took a beating from the rugged and scrappy Coop- ersville eleven which scored in the first quar- ter. Zeeland held their foes during the next half, but due to a blocked punt in the third quarter, Coopersville netted a touchdown. ln the last quarter a penalty on Zeeland brought the ball on the 3-yard line from where Coopersville made their last. The game ended with a score of 22-0. Before the Chix defeated Otsego, 20-14, on the home ground, there was a colorful dedi- cation of the new lights and the crowning of the first Football Queen. ln the game Zee- land featured a series of long runs and sev- eral passes. In the first quarter Raterink lugged the ball over for a 6-O score. ln the second Zeeland again scored on an inter- cepted pass on the 41-yard line which ended in a touchdown as a result of a pass from Baterink to Carlson. The conversion was good. Then Otsego retaliated. But in the last stanza, both teams shared in the scoring making it ZU-14. The next week Zeeland traveled to Paw Paw and romped over the Redskins, 137, After two hard-fought victories in the two previous games, the Chix played Allegan the following week and were defeated loy a strong Allegan squad, 36-6. On November 5, the Zeeland boys took their second league loss from Plainwell in a very thrilling game with a score of 19-13. Plainwell drew first blood, ln the second period Plainwell scored again, Then 8 plays after the kickoff, Zeeland scored and made good the conversion, Plainwell came back and pushed the ball over and also added the conversion. ln the last frame Zee- land scored its final touchdown to make the score at the end, 19-13. Thus ended another thrill-packed season for the Zeeland High School football team, Zeeland won 3 out of 9 games, two of them Q .. ex, NX W A K X fi I is A s. being league victories.
