In the fall of 1937, twenty-three boys and girls, all very anxious to become wonderful scholars, enrolled in toe DeMotte High School. We were all very “green’ and very anxious to please our teachers. During our first year we chose Mr. Boron as our sponsor. We elected the following class officers: Cor- nelius Sweringa, President; Kenneth Zeck, Vice Presi- dent; Chris Walstra, Secretary; and Jack Evans, Treas- urer. We chose scarlet and silver for our class colors, nd our motto was Success Comes in Cans, Not in Cants.” A few weeks later we were initiated into the High School. Shortly afterward, on October 8, we had our first party. On December 1 1, we entertained the rest of the high school with a short Indiana Day program. We gave the senior c ' ass a party on February 5th, and on April 22r.d, we vis:ted the C ame Preserve near Medary- ville. The next fall ! wenty-one members returned. We also d w.th us a new member, Jean Barry. We were guided t- rcugh this year by our new sponsor, Mrs. Ber- nard. Other officers elected w e: Jack Evans, Presi- de ’ l; Chris Walstra, Vice President; Shirley Stroup, Secrtary; and Kenneth Zeck, Treasurer. We kept our s: me colors and motto. Our first party of the vear was held on October 5th, and the second one on [anuary 3rd, at the home of Mrs. Bernard. Tf e second wrek of October we visited the Field Mi ’seum in Chicago. This year we presented the Thanksgiving Day pro- gram. Soon afterward, about the first week of January, we ordered our letters bearing our c ' ass numbers, “41”. On April 28th, we gave a one act comedy play entitled “Ding Dong Dumbbells ’. In the fall of 1 939, onlv eighteen members return- ed; the others thinking they knew a little more than our teachers did. Robert Recker was chosen President; Kenneth Zeck, Vice President; Margaret Bahler, Secre- tary; and Chris Walstra, Treasurer. We kept the same colors and motto we had had for the two previous years. Mr. Jarrett became our sponsor. Our Junior play, “Three Days of Grace”, was suc- cessfully given on December 12th. Page 7
