We’re really on the beam today, So don’t you dare try any tricks. First on the list is our sponsor, Who is Mr. Stucker by name. We give him a lot of credit For helping us to “play the game.” Don claims he doesn’t like women, But it’s a statement not at its best ’Cause when it comes to street corners, He whistles louder than the rest. There’s only one thing that our Kathy Will ever say “I hate!” And that is to just most anyone Who refers to her as Kate. “Just leave it to the brain,” says Bushy, But, alas, we all must agree When it comes right down to anything, He’s no brainier than you or me. We wonder what the Government would do If it weren’t for Frieda Mac, ’Cause just think of all those postage stamps On all those letters every day. When it comes to swiping watermelons, Denny is just as good as the others. The only time he ever got caught— Was when he tried to swipe his mother’s. On the third finger of her left hand. Charmaine wears a ring. Walt’s the only interest in her life; School books don’t mean a thing. Should you ever be hunting for Eddie, The best place for you to look Would be in some secluded corner. Behind a physics book. Virginia just laughs and giggles all day, And makes life really worth-while. She says if you don’t carry a grin on your face, You’re definitely out of style. And did you know that Calvie Has an eyebrow that goes up, And that his hair’s as curly As that of any little pup? June has a wardrobe that’s as complete As those you read about in books. And no matter when or where she goes She’s followed with admitted looks. GlcUA, Po m Well now, I know that there is something. That I could say about our Ella But for first-hand information, You’d better ask her sailor fella. To only put Rhoda in this verse Would he a dreadful shame, ’Cause there is one who must go with her — And he is Denny Swart by name. Evelyn is quite widely known For her cheerful little “Hi !” But she ' s known just as widely, For her quick and short, “Bye, Bye !’’ You’ll have to look a long, long time To find a sweeter girl than Jean. She ranks the “best’’ with all of us I For she ' s a girl that’s really keen. Right here is the place to put Bethel. She’s a girl that you simply must meet, The most amazing thing about her, Is her tiny five-and-a-half size feet. Laverne is our blonde bombshell With eyes of cat-like green That hold a merry twinkle Wherever she is seen. Just leave it to Mabel to make the mistakes (And they number quite a few) But they give us all a hearty laugh And they always give her one, too. Our shy bashfvd Willard With cheeks oh, so rosy Will make some girl’s life Oh, ever so cozy! Barb ' s got the shape, she’s got the oomph To make the fellows stop and stare, And she also has a personality That can’t he beaten anywhere. Josephine comes a buzzin’ To school most every day — In her little ole’ brown flivver That rattles all the way. It took a long, long time, but at last it’s my turn To tell you all about me. But I can ' t say anything the least bit good ’Cause they’d say I was bragging, Oh, gee ! Our class sure was a honey, And we’re sorry that we’re through, But we know that you will miss us As we’ll be missing you. QIgM ' Will We. the Senior Class of 1946, of DeMotte High School, who are about to leave these cherished halls for the trials and tribulations of a cruel world, being of sound mind, do hereby bequeath on this, the 25th day of April, the following worth-while possessions, characteristics, habits, and what have you, to these subsequent and probably ungrateful heirs : I, John Boezeman, being generally regarded as sane, will my humorous wisecracks and the pleasure I have had trying to drive my Dad ' s car to Lynn Bricker. I, Frieda Cheever, in a sympathetic state of mind, will my position as editor of the “Keen Keener” to Margaret Anne Curtin. I, Willard DeFries, in a reckless state of mind, will my blush and politeness to Herbert Ruisard. They will see a better boy next year Herbie. I, Laverne Evers, in a sentimental state of mind, will my height and my ambition to study to Don Chappell. I, Edward Goetz, the only intelligent Senior, will my football interests and all the A’s I have earned in my twelve years of school, to Leland Schwanke. I, Charmaine Hockney, in a rather dubious state of mind, will my stead} ' fellow to Kate Anderson. Come on Kate, pick one out. I, Evelyn Hoffman, in a moronic state of mind, will my corney jokes and gossip to Gwen Belstra. I, Virginia Mak, in a careless state of mind, will my ability to skip school and get by with it to Mary Ellen Curtin. Did I say get by with it? Maybe I’d better will you my position as cheer-leader. I, Don Peterson, in a very self-conscious state of mind, will my love for football, basketball, and the life of a bachelor to Don Streveler. GUu ' ll ' ill I, Alice Rowen, in an agreeable state of mind, will my baby talk to Wilma Walstra. You can neyer tell Wilma, you may need it sometime. I, Kathleen Sauer, in a rhythmic state of mind, will my strong voice for yelling at ball games and my much too large class ring to Margaret Schoonveld. I, Jean Sehuringa, in a generous state of mind, will my happy disposition and my good behavior to Henry DeKock. This is just a gentle hint, Hank! I, Bethel Schwanke, in an ambiguous state of mind, will my likeness for everyone to Ella Fae Barker. I, Mabel Sekema, in an exceeding generous state of mind, will my numerous dates and my roller skates to Doris Mak. I, Josephine Speechley, in an agreeable state of mind, will my southern drawl and my old pillow I used for skating to Doris Kaluf. I, Barbara Stangle, in a genial state of mind, will my shortness and the fun I have had stealing water- melons to Lois Hoffman. I, Calvin Swart, in a muscle bound state of mind, will my athletic abilities and the honors I have won playing my cornet to Curtis Heimlich. I, Dennis Swart, in a hazy state of mind, will my basketball fame and my bookkeeping book to Kenneth De Vries. I, June Swart, in a flashy state of mind, will my gracefulness and blond hair to Maurine Crain and Dick Kelly. GlaM. f WiU I, Rhoda Unzicker, in a methodical state of mind, will my ' method of driving a car to Edna Cox. I, Ella Vander Molen, in an extremely happy state of mind, will all my trips to Chicago to John Black. Hope you will enjoy them as much as I did. We, the Senior Class, in an effervescent state of mind, will to our rightful heirs, the Juniors, our fame as being the wealthiest class in DeMotte High School. To the Sophomores, we will all those interesting reports we wrote for our Senior English Class. Sorry, hut we’re afraid you’re not getting much. To the Freshman Class, we will ' all the fun we had the night of Freshman Initiation. We will to the teachers as follows: Miss Rolling — An art class with less giggling and noise. Mrs. Gidley — An English class that will have the grey-matter to learn the Dewey Decimal System by heart. Mr. Thompson— a large and successful hand for next year. Mr. Stucker — A Senior class that will not take time out of his Government class for their class business. Miss Gundy — A bookkeeping class that can finish exercise 38 before school is out. Miss Haas — An advanced Home Ec. class that can boil water without scorching it. Mr. Stangle — The title of Water Commissioner of DeMotte— NO SULPHUR WATER, PLEASE! Mr. Hission — a science room which isn’t next to the music department. Mr. Hinton— A brand new toupe. GlaAA, PoxuiUecu. By Rhoda Unzicker Dear Diary : It surely has been a wonderful day. Imagine, just 10 years ago I graduated from DeMotte High School. It certainly was a coincidence, meeting all of my former classmates of 1946 in 1946. I noticed a poster in the train this morning, stating that John Boezeman, the famous skater is coming to town soon. How did he ever learn to skate without poles, I wonder? I met Josephine Speechley on the bus last week. She is a private secretary for Frieda Cheever, who owns a nylon hose factory. Lucky People ! I ran into Kathleen Sauer who now owns a beauty shop, “Kathy’s Kurls.” She was on her way to the hospital to keep a date with the former Charmaine Hockney. Charmaine had taken Walt Jr. down to have his tonsils removed. Kathy invited me to go with her, and while we were there, we met Mabel Sekema who ig a famous surgical nurse. Just as I was leaving the hospital, I met the former Evelyn Hoffman. She is the wife of one of the Hospital Staff Surgeons, and seemed to be very happy. ' I met Edward Goetz and his pretty little wife at a garden party out on the west side this summer. Ed is the owner of a very prominent down-town department store and one of his loveliest models is beautiful, dark haired Virginia Mak. Jean Schuringa is now Mrs. LaVern DeKock and lives on a large ranch in Nevada. Jean and her husband came to town on business and Jean called me and asked me to meet her for lunch. Imagine our surprise when we found that Willard De Fries was the owner of the most exclusive restaurant in the country, “Wid ' s Wacky Waldorf.” Wid said that he is planning to retire as soon as his son grows QIgM Ptiariliecy up. He will have a pretty long; wait, for Junior is only three ! I took a ride out to the huge bridge being erected out on Cumberland Lane, last Sunday afternoon. The work is progressing at an unbelievable rate, and why shouldn’t it with Don Peterson as chief engineer? Don says that he likes his work very much and has even higger plans for the future. Hard telling what they will be ! Denny Swart still has Don outrated for height in more ways than one. Denny is working for Transcon- tinental Airlines, flying from Miami to Chicago every day. While looking at the paper this evening, I saw that Ella Vander Molen is writing the gossip column, “Who’s Who and What’s What.” On the next page was “Laverne’s Lovelorn Letters.” I never dreamed that Laverne Evers would take Dorothy Dix’s place. I read where Alice Rowen is revolutionizing the teaching of commerce. I remember how she always hated it in school and vowed to do something about it. On second look at the pretty little waitress in the Drug Store one day, I recognized Bethel Schwanke. i took my mother down town to a radio studio not long ago. We had tickets for a musical program. Who but Cal Swart colud play such a sweet trumpet? Cal was so thrilled to see us and asked if we couldn’t stay after the program and meet his beautiful singer — June Swart. Barbara Stangle Hoffman was at the broadcast, too, with her husband and three children. Barb said it was the children’s first trip to the city and they were cer- tainly enjoying every minute of it. Ho-hum. Well, I’d better get to bed now, as I go back on duty tomorrow morning. An Airline Hostess must be wide awake, especially when she works with her “best beau.” Have to keep an eye on him you know ! Goodnight. ClaM. ottutosiy 1934 was an eventful year ; at least we thought so. That was our first year in school. Our first two years were spent in the little school building and how well we remember when cold weather came ! Our water fountains froze up and several times a day we marched over to the big building to get a drink. It wasn’t an unusual sight to see several suits of underwear hanging on the stove to dry, and the unfor- tunate owners wrapped in blankets. Too many puddles! Mrs. Ewart really took good care of us. Mrs. Kessinger was our second grade teacher. By this time we were really in the swing of school life. Again, when the weather got ■cold, we made our daily marches to the big school. In the fall of 1936 we started to school in the big building with Mrs. Ruth McMillan as our teacher. There were 27 in our class. This year passed quickly and the fall of 1937 found us in the fourth grade. Miss Angie De Haan, now Mrs. James Benes, was our teacher. Jean Schuringa joined our class in the spring. The most important event in our fifth year in school was lalent Day. We all went to Rensselaer in a school bus to take part in the program. Miss Pansy Orsburn, now Mrs. Gene Hanford, was our teacher. , Either Mrs. Kessinger liked our class a lot or our class liked her — for it was in the sixth grade that we met her for the second time. W A e had twenty-five members. 1941 was the long awaited time. We were in the seventh grade and in the assembly ! There were 23 members in our class and we chose Mr. Llewellyn as our sponsor. We chose Mr. Ely to guide us through our last year in grade school. We went on a weiner roast in the woods in March. Was that the time we got lost? September of 1942 found us, a class of 25, as Freshmen. Mr. Wurzburger was elected class sponsor. Calvin Swart was elected GiaU tJiutosuf. President ; Ella Vander Molen, Vice President : Willard De Fries, Secretary, and Josephine Speechley, treasurer. We were duly initiated by the Seniors in September. Josephine Speechley left our class and Rhoda Unzicker and Don Peterson entered. In our Sophomore year, three new students entered our class. They were Barbara Stangle, Kathleen Sauer, and Evelyn Hoffman. Josephine Speechley joined us again near the end of the year. Our class officers were : Alice Rowen, President ; Calvin Swart, Vice Presi- dent ; Willard De Fries, Secretary; Jean Schuringa, Treasurer. We chose Mrs. Rainwater as our class sponsor. On December 7th, we sponsored a carnival which was a huge success. We had a class party in January. Twenty-four of us returned to school in the fall of 1944. Charles Mak and George Nannenga dropped out in the middle of the year, leaving us with 22 members. Corky Barker joined Uncle Sam’s Armed Forces during the summer. We received our class rings on March 9th and presented “Act Your Age” on March 30th. We enter- tained the seniors at a semi-formal banquet in the gym on April 16th. Mr. Stucker was our class sponsor and our class officers were : Willard De Fries, President; Don Peterson, Vice President; Cal Swart, Secretary, and Jean Schuringa, Treasurer. On September 4th, 1945, twenty-one students enrolled as Seniors, anxious to finish their high school days. It has been a busy year. Mr. Stucker was again chosen class sponsor and class officers were elected as follow: Don Peterson, President; John Boezeman, Vice President; Frieda Cheever, Secretary, and Jean Schuringa, Treasurer. On September 17th, we initiated the Freshman Class. On November 20th, we presented “A Little Honey” which was a great success. The Annual Staff was chosen and work on the book was begun. Now, as each of us go our own way, we realize that we have not achieved all the education; we have hardly begun. In departing, we want to wish all those who will follow us, the best of luck and loads of success. fjuniosi GlaM eM-Hto. ' uj, In 1943 we started our high school career as Fresh- men. We chose as our class officers : Mary Curtin, president ; Kenneth De V ries, vice-president ; Margaret Schoonveld, secretary ; Margaret Curtin, treasurer. A month or two after we entered high school we were duly initiated by the Seniors. The following spring we gave the Seniors a party in return for the initiation party. Mrs. Witters was our sponsor until she left and then Mrs. Erny became our sponsor. In 1944 we started our second year in high school with Kenneth De Vries as president; Don Chappell, vice-president ; Margaret Curtin, secretary, and Mar- garet Schoonveld, treasurer. Miss Gundy was chosen as our sponsor. In 1945 we embarked on our third year in high school as Juniors. Kenneth De Vries was elected presi- dent, Don Chappell, vice-president; Margaret Schoon- veld, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Haas sponsor, to help make this year a great success. We plan to give a play this spring, and we are looking forward to the banquet we will give for the Seniors. Sofduuno. ' ie GIgA. 4, a4uto. iif. In 1944 we entered our high school career as Fresh- men. Our officers were president, Norman Chappell: vice president, Joyce Burger; secretary, Irene Muraida, and treasurer, Art Lageveen. We were initiated by the Seniors the last part of September, officially becoming part of the high school. In mid-winter we gave the Seniors a party in return for the initiation party. We chose Miss Haas as our sponsor. In 1945 we all came back to start our second year in high school. Our class officers are president, Bob Cheever; vice president, Joan DeBruin ; secretary, Norman Chappell, and treasurer, Irene Muraida ; Miss Rolling was chosen our class sponsor. tf-ne.4luna i GlaM eM-iAtosuf, There are 24 students enrolled in the Freshman class. We elected as class officers, Robert Moole naar, president ; Don Fieldhouse, vice-president ; Ruth Speech- ley, secretary, and Byrne Sekema, treasurer. We chose Miss Gundy as our sponsor. On September 18, we became full-fledged Freshmen and on September 24, we enjoyed a roller skating party. Our class colors are silver and blue and our class motto is “Forward Forever.” fy ie4Juficisi GlaM, Top Row: Bill Unzicker, Joe f .Sjpeechley, Deraid Makers, Beatrice Streveler, Ethel Mae Hoffriian, Ruth Speechley, Robert Moonlenaar, Don Fieldhouse, Ver- lin Schwanke. v ‘ ,v . ■ Second Row : Margaret Zylstra.

Ki+uj, and 2uee i of Q uuval At the Halloween Carnival this year, one of the main features was the popularity contest selecting a high school girl to reign as Queen over the carnival and a high school boy to reign as King. Each class nominated a boy and a girl to be their candidates. Votes were sold and counted at the carnival. Irene Muraida was chosen the most popular girl and Don Peterson the most popular boy. tf-aatball Tow Row: Coach Stucker, Jim Rowen, Ed Goetz, Bob Cheever, Junior Tysen, Lawrence Terbourg, Willard De Fries, Mrs. Stangle.

Proof of this lies in the fact that, even though we started the season with an experienced, fast team, we ended the season having lost most of our games. The loss of so many games was due to the injury of as many as 3 and 4 first string players for several of the games. The main injuries sustained included Chappell’s broken collar hone and Denny Swart’s and Don Peterson’s badly sprained ankle. Captain Cal Swart led the scoring attack with the strong back- ing of Bob Cheever, Kenny De Vries, Junior Tysen, Don Peterson, and Denny Swart. The Freshman-Sophomore team which strongly supported the varsity, promises a good future varsity. We T hey We They} Wheatfield 19 12 Mt.

' r l ' iach Last year’s track team came through with the best season in DeMotte’s history. Our team not only won four trophies, but also came home with the county championship, a feat heretofore unsur- passed in our track history. The success of the team was made up largely of individual achievements of such stars as N. Abbring, M. Peterson, C. Swart, J. Ruisard, and others. The greatest single achievement of last year’s season, was a new county record of 24 flat for the 220, set by Abbring, who topped the team by totaling 75 points for the season. Other team records included 10’ pole vault by Roy Anderson ; 20’ broad jump by D. Chappell ; 56 sec. 440 by C. Swart ; and a 3 min. 52 sec. mile relay team. The season’s scores were as follows : Triangular Meet — DeMotte 82 ; Fair Oaks 35 ; Wheatfield 27 C. P. Dual Meet — DeMotte 69 2 3; Crown Point 77 1 3 Triangular Meet — DeMotte 86; Hebron 33; Remington 16 County Meet — DeMotte 73; Rensselaer 31, runners up K.V.T.M. — DeMotte 51 ; North Judson 51, runners-up The trophies won included the County Trophy, K.V.T.M. trophy, and trophies for both mile and half-mile relays won in the county meet.

He’d be three hun- dred years old.” Stub’s Father: “Now, Son, tell me why I punished you.” Stub : “That’s it, first you pounded the life out of me, and now you don’t know what you done it for.” Barbara : “Your hair is very thin on top, sir.” Mr. Hinton : “I’m glad to hear that, I always did hate fat hair.” Mrs. Stangle: “Dear, the doctor says I need a change of climate.” Mr. Stangle : “Fine, the weather man says it will be cooler tomorrow.” Stucker : “A man is foolish to bet on elections.” Hission : How much did you lose?” The landlord put in short beds so we wouldn ' t sleep too long. Barbara: “Your wife came from a fine old family, didn’t she? Mr. Thompson: No, she brought them with her.” Parson : “Do you know where little boys go when they smoke?” Billy: “Yes sir, up the alley.” Alice: “Mrs. Brown has kleptomania.” Jim: “What’s she taking for it?” Alice : “Anything that looks good to her.” Ed : “Kenny said he gave $9,000 for that car. Norm : “He must be a millionaire.” Ed : “No, he’s a liar.” Miss Rolling : “Why was the period be- tween A.D. 500 and A.D. 1200 known as the Dark Ages?” Bob Cheever : “Because those were the days of knights.” Mr. Stangle: “Use the word amphibious in a sentence.” Jack H. : “Most fish stories am fibious.” Mabel : “Isn’t it strange that all those men in the front row are bald-headed?” June : “They must have bought their tick- ets from scalpers.” Bethel : “Are you acquainted with Mrs. Bailey, your fashionable neighbor?” Ella: “Only in a round-about way. Her cat boards at our house.” Mr. Hission : “When water becomes ice, what changes take place?” Ev Hoffman : “The price.” Household Hints: To prevent ink stains — use a pencil. To prevent cake from get- ting stale — Eat while fresh. Mr. Kessinger : “I don’t see why you have accounts in so many different stores.” Mrs. Kessinger : “Because, dear, it makes the bills so much smaller.” Walt: “Did your friends admire your ring ?” Charm : “They did more than that. Three of them recognized it.” Mrs. Gidley: “Stanley, can you tell me what a hypocrite is ?” Stanley : “It’s a boy that comes to school with a smile on his face.” The bee teaches us to be industrious and not get stung. Leland : “Do you believe in clubs for women ?” Henry: I sure do! Clubs, sandbags, flat- irons, any old thing.” Mother: “Mary, what are you doing out there ?” Mary : “I’m looking at the moon.” Mother: “Well, tell the moon to go home and you c ome in off that porch.” Any girl would gladly give up a chaperon, for the privilege of calling some chap her own.

Its yield is heavy — its grain or silage makes better feed, and more of it per acre. It is beautiful corn to see growing. It is resistant to corn borers. It’s corn that you will want again every year. NOW is the time to order seed for next year’s planting. DEALER’S NAME Art Walstra Phone 3922 DeMotte, Ind.
