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.

GIgAA Poem By Alice Rowen Hi, there kids, pull up a chair, And meet the class of ’46. 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.

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.
