)i Oijee ner mi SENIOR CLASS HISTORY By T. Toppen and E. De Vries Among the great number of young people who, either by choice or of necessity, entered the public high schools in the fall of nineteen thirty-three, there was a group of twenty-seven in DeMotte who, as a whole, agreed to make the most of the opportunities offered them. Our class began its high school life with Betty Lageveen as president; Robert Swart as Vice President; Annette Terpstra as secretary; and Calvin Huhn as treasurer. Mrs. Williams accepted the task of sponsoring our momentous activities. A few weeks later our class was duly initiated by the seniors of the year. Still later in the year we chose for our colors blue and gold and for our flower the American Beauty Rose. A party was held in February. After the vacation of four months, we began our sophomore year with Mr. Murray as sponsor; Francis De Koker as secretary; and Robert Swart as treasurer. We very solemnly chose black and white for our class colors. On November the twenty-eighth our class gave a Thanksgiving Day pro- gram. The task of entertaining the school on Washington’s birthday fell to us. The proficiency of our basketball players was demonstrated by our winning the class tournament. We went to Bass Lake one day in the en- suing summer and had a wonderful time. At the resumption of our studies the next autumn we elected Mr. Jarrett as sponsor; Arthur Bunning as president; Billy Bahler as vice presi- dent; Eleanor Middelkamp as secretary and Ceoorge Dykstra as treasurer. Rose and silver were selected for the colors of the class. The appropriate maxim, “Success Awaits at Labor’s Cate” became our motto. After ex- tensive consideration, we decided to present “Marry Before Midnight” to the public on March the seventeenth, nineteen thirty-six. Our strenuous efforts were well rewarded by a successful audition before one of the larg- est audiences a class play has ever had here. On April twenty-eight, nine- teen thirty-six, we gave a banquet in honor of the graduating seniors. We came back the next term to spend our last year in a new school building which is a great improvement over the old one. We bought a ring by which to remember our high school life. The class play for this year, “Lionizing Lionel”, which will have been given by the time this is published, is now attracting much attention. Our high school education is nearing its conclusion. We now stand on the threshold of the life for which we have been preparing these last twelve years. May we all find the places in life for which we are best fitted. Page ten
