SENIOR HISTORY In September of 1939, twenty-four freshmen entered DeMotte High School to increase their knowledge. During our first year we were guided by Mr. Ely. Our clasij officers were Cordelia Kooy, president ; Helen Bailey, vice-president ; Alice Sytsma, secretary; and Dale Schwanke, treasurer. We chose old rose and silver as our class colors and “We Build The Ladder By Which We Rise’’ as our motto. On the night of September 29, we were duly initiated by the seniors. We had a roller skating party on October 13. The next fall twenty-two members enrolled. This year we chose Miss Keever to be our sponsor. Our officers became as follows: William Hoffman, president ; Dale Schwanke, vice-president ; Alice Sytsma, secretary; Ruth Moolenaar, treasurer. In October we invited the juniors to join us in a skating party. OUCH ! 1 his fall, 1940, the Junior class elected Rose Schlarp as president, Cordelia Kooy as vice- president and Delpha Heimlich as secretary. We retained our sponsor, Miss Keever. Our class was greatly de- creased in number. We gave a skating party early in the fall. We gave the sensation of the year, “The Campbells Are Coming,” on March 17. Towards the spring we received our class rings. In the spring we gave the Seniors a banquet. When we returned this fall our class was more decreased in number than last year with thirteen members and by December two had dropped out. In January Bertha Vander Molen joined our group. On November 24, we presented “Aunt Abby Anwers An Ad.” We are now working on the eighth edition of the Keen Keener. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
