Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1948 volume:

ill Dt mOTTt HIGH SCHOOL nthana Volume XIII r«r uce The Seniors of ’48, after much discussion, deliberation and elimination, have combined their efforts and have produced an annual that we believe is different. We have attempted to carry the Indian theme throughout the annual, by illustration and writing. We have used the Indian theme in this annual, because since the creation of our school, our athletic teams have been called Indians.” ' ! � , r ; . • • - Mr ■“ -’.

We’ll first introduce our sponsor, Miss Rolling ; Though times were tough, she kept us going. For three years she helped us in every way ; We’ll hate to say goodbye to her on graduation day. Norman Chappell is heard of both far and near For his manly physique and his blond wavy hair. He plays in our band, and for his personality he’s known; And when you see him he’s seldom alone. Bob Cheever is the president of our class ; His curly hair is envied by every lass. In sports and in studies he rates high; I’m sure you’ll all agree he’s a pretty good guy. Next comes Gene Curry, of whom we all know; At present we can’t tell to ivhat fame he will go. He likes to play football for our team, And we’ll have to admit he’s pretty keen. Joan is very practical and is seldom wrong. Her last name is DeBruin, But l have a slight suspicion T hat it won’t be for very long. Eugene Fritts is another of this Senior Class ; He claims he’s bashful, but he still loves to dance. As to him and each Senior that will depart, We wish him luck with all of our heart. Mary Ann Hamstra is pretty; her face is like a doll ; She’s popular and she is fairly tall. Her only question is, should she delay the Yes-sing” Long enough to keep them guessing. George Kingma is a strong, husky lad, T hough seen every day, he’s seldom seen sad. He contributed to school sports in every way; I’m sure the school will hate to lose him on commencement day If you’re looking for a boy, tall and handsome, With long eyelashes and dark hair. Start looking in DeMotte’s direction, And you’ll find Johnny Raluf waiting there. Pauline Kingma, an active member of the Senior Class, She frowns and smiles, and she’s a likable lass. Though her Chemistry she does not take to heart, We can be sure she’ll always do her part. Art Lageveen is known for many fine features; This is said by everyone, even the teachers. He likes to play basketball for our school, But for a pastime he goes to Hebron, as a rule. Ax I am class poet, modesty prevents The usual build-up of flattering compliments. The footlights, the leading of cheers, Are part of the memories of my past years. Next comes a lad that ’most everyone knows His personality is nice, he smiles wherever he goes. Going to Thayer has won him great fame, But even without it, Harold Nuss would still be the same. John Pruis is a boy of this class, T hat just loves to tease every lass. In school work he rates pretty high, When asked a question he never tells a lie. She always has a smile and is usually laughing, too; Beatty Punter is seldom rude. She is very busy, with no time to spare, T he reason she’s so busy is ’cause this is leap year. In this group, Joe Koorda is the one Who hates women; but when called r hon,’ He’s loveable, likeable and a lot of fun. He’ll say Buzzard but he’ll never run. Walt Koorda is one of our tall lads, He loves to experiment in Chemistry class. Everyone liked him as an inspector in the Junior Play, But his performance as P-Sam was best in every way. Jim Kowcn is known by everyone, for participating in sports, He is always fair in games of any sort. For manners and personality he rates an A”; He has set a good example in ’most every way. Next is Richard Tysen, by name; In sports he usually plays a pretty good game. He’s neat and his wardrobe is more than complete, I’m sure we’ll all agree he is all reet.” The last of our classmates is Ed Wilke; In his car he was fast and ready. Everyone ivill remember him for he always made a riot, But without him, things would have gotten too quiet. We the Seniors of 1948 , being of sound mind and generous heart, do heartily dispose of our most prized possessions in the following manner: Norm Chappell wills his ways with the girls to Don Fieldhouse. Let’s see how he can make them swoon. Gene Curry wills his slide trombone to Deraid Magers. Let’s see you blow. Joan DeBruin wills her shortness to Gerry Belstra. Let’s start shrinking, Gerry. John Pruis wills his boldness with the girls to Ray Jabaay. Now your face should not get so red when you talk to them, Ray. Eugene Fritts wills his nice wavy hair to Kenny Terpstra. Good luck, Curly. Ed Wilke wills all his excuses for getting out of school to Verlin Schwankee. Don’t waste this valuable collection, Verlin. Art Lageveen wills his artistic abilities to Virginia Biggs and Wayne Huhn. Maybe you can draw for the annual next year. Junior Tysen wills Byrne Sekema his ability to stick with one girl. Did you ever try it, Byrne? Irene Muraida wills her figure to Dolores DeVries. Pauline Kingma wills her cool head to Maggie Zylstra. George Kingma wills his sense of humor to Ruth Carter and Betty Williamson. Joe Roorda wills his ability to sleep in. class, without getting caught, to Denzil Barker. Sweet dreams, Denzil. Walt Roorda wills his part in the Senior Play to Bill Unzicker. You all oughta en- joy that, Bill.” Jim Rowen wills his ability as a basket- ball player to Bob Dwyer. Here’s hoping you can get in shape, Bob. Mary Hamstra wills her way with the boys to Eleanor Klip and Joan McAndrews. More power to you, girls. Bob Cheever wills his curly hair to Mari- lyn Sauer. Just think, you won’t have to comb it. Bob doesn’t. John Kaluf wills his long eyelashes to Vivian Stalbaum and Beatrice Streveler. Beatrice Punter wills her laugh to Joyce Arens and George Konovsky. Harold Nuss wills his driving ability to Bob Moolenaar. Let’s hope you get a car, Bob. We, the Seniors, do generally bestow on cur followers, the Junior Class, the ability to say the wrong thing at the right time, as we always do. To the Sophomore Class, we will our studious and ambitious ways. We know you will get a lot accomplished. To the Freshmen, we will our refined and dignified manner, especially in the study hall. Realizing all the problems and worries, and grey hairs we have caused the faculty, we graciously have decided to leave them something in our will, too. Mr. Stangle — One day when everything goes just right. Miss Gundy — A shorthand class that is not always behind in their lessons. Miss Beanblossom — A sewing class that won’t talk all the time. Mrs. Moody — A day with more periods, so she can have band practice more often. Mr. Hission — A chemistry class that won’t swipe the equipment. Mr. Wilson — A private janitor, so he won’t have to fix fires and clean rooms be- fore teaching class. Mr. Stucker — A horn that will honk only when he wants it to. Miss Rolling — A sound-proof class room. By Art Lageveen It is now time for the Great Spirit who watches over and protects all DeMotte Indians to solemnly open his great record book and foretell the future of our Senior Class. The following account is copied from this wonderous book which the Great Spirit has so graciously let us borrow.

The annual staff, headed by Norm Chappell, has put forth a great deal of effort and time, so that this annual could be made of the quality that it is. Contributing to this quality and originality is the art staff headed by Art Lageveen and supported by Irene Muraida, Pauline Kingma, and Norm Chappell. We wish to thank these and the other classmates for the fine work and effort they have put forth to make this annual a success. John Kaluf Business Manager Miss Mary E. Rolling Sponsor Early this fall our faculty set up the school newspaper stalf for a bigger and better paper. The members of the staff were put into jobs suitable to their abilities and through their efforts a successful paper has been produced. We have a paper exchange that enables us to read other school papers. Seated, Left to Right : Miss Gundy , Advisor; Bill Unzicker, Irene Muraida, Dolores DeVries , Norm.

Under the direction of Mrs. Natalia Gidley, the school li- brary has been successfully op- erated this year. Each period has been taken by one girl who has kept her job faithfully. There has been a great im- provement in the book log, and there have been many new books added. The teachers have been urging the students to read and we feel these new books have helped.

The band this year has been divided into two parts, the advanced band and the beginners’ band. Although the beginners’ band has started just recently, they have made considerable progress, and we hope that they will be able to play in the advanced band next year. The advanced band has not had much opportunity to play in public, but they have played at most of the home basketball games and football games. The band, under the direction of Mrs. Moody, has, we feel, progressed considerably since las t year, and we hope that it will continue to do so. It has been practicing for some time for a concert to be presented in the spring. The Booster’s Club has been very active and faithful in selling re- freshments at most of the athletic events in our school. The club consists of Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and the Cheer Leaders. The officers are Marilyn Sauer, president; Beatrice Streveler, secretary; Ruth Carter, treasurer; with Miss Beanblossom as their sponsor. Its huge success is accredited to the cooperation of its members. BOOSTER CLUB Seated: Josephine Vander Ploeg, Annette Knip, Mary Peterson, Edna DeFries Ruth Carter.

The Girls’ Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Moody, is composed of many high school girls. The girls have enjoyed singing the many selec- tions they have learned this year. A new project has been started this year in all the schools in the county. The girls have participated in an exchange of musical talent in four different schools. It has been a grand experience for all of them. jumor PLfly Front Row, left to right: .John Kaluf, Joe Roorda, Junior Tysen, Joan DeBruin, John Pruis.

The Class of 1948 presented their first play Mystery in the Library ” on March 28, 1948. Although a great deal of time and effort were put into this play because of the difficult sound effects that had to be created, it was how- ever considered an outstanding success.

We again entertained the community on November 7, 1947, with a sparkling comedy entitled Good Gracious Grandma.” According to all reports this was one of the best comedies put on in DeMotte for some time, and the audience seemed to enjoy it very much. The cast was: Norm Chappell John Kaluf Walter Roorda Mary Ann Hamstra Irene Muraida John Pruis Beatrice Punter Pauline Kingma Eugene Fritts Bob Cheever Henry Breckenbrige George Breckenbrige P Sam Helen Allen Cecilie Allen Clancy Mrs. Lennox : Delicia Clancy’s Assistant Messenger Boy iteen At the Hallowe’en Carnival last fall, one of the main events which climaxed the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen. Jim Kingma and Edna DeFries were chosen by popular vote. They received a valuable gift from the Senior Class which sponsored the contest. Those who were nominated to represent the other classes were: 7th Grade: John DeKock and Wilma Hoffman 8th Grade: Norman Wright and Anna Mae Belstra Freshman Class: Ralph DeKock and Evelyn Sigler Sophomore Class: Edna DeFries and Jim Kingma Junior Class: Beatrice Streveler and Bill Unzicker Senior Class: Joan DeBruin and John Kaluf ■ ■ fOOTBflLL The Indians had a rough time of it this year, winning only one game while losing five. Injuries played our team from start to finish. Sprained ankles and pulled muscles caused the sidelining of at least one player in all but one game. In the only game we won we had our first team in the field for the starting kickoff. Next year’s team will have only two regulars from this year’s team; but with a little experience, the subs will make a fast shifty ball team. The Freshman-Sophomore game was played with Wheatfield again this year. This game was exciting and ended in a 6-6 tie.

The yell leaders have been doing a fine job this year backing our teams; as a result we have learned many new yells. They have worked hard this year in making up a huge, enthusiastic cheering section. The yell lead- ers this year are: Irene Muraida, Beatrice Streveler, Edna DeFries, and Bill Unzicker, who were chosen by popular vote of the student body.

The first team managed to end up a poor year in a spurt of real basketball. After winning only three out of the first fifteen games, our Indians then won the next three straight to take us to the semi-finals of the secional, where we were defeated by only five points. This is the first time in three years that the Indians advanced in any tournament. The Second Team managed to squeeze out six victories this year against ten defeats. They were beaten by Wheatfield in the semi-finals of the K. V. Second Team Tourney. Several of the boys saw action which will help to produce two stronger teams next year. w T Lowell 29 50 Mt.

Last year’s track team proved quite successful by winning two meets and getting two close seconds in the county and K. V. T. meets. In our first meet, DeMotte won easily, with Wheatfield, Tefft and Fair Oaks following in that order. Next Crown Point journeyed over to our field to win by a large margin. Crown Point won most of the running events, while our Indians took firsts and seconds in most of the field events. The following week, Remington and Hebron visited us only to go home with second place for Hebron and third for Remington. Entering the last week of school we had the K. V. T., with Kentland winning this, and DeMotte a close second. Following the closing of school we journeyed to Rensselaer to the County meet. Rensselaer won this, but DeMotte was close on their heels with a second place. The rest of the scores are not available, so we are unable to state the manner in which the other teams finished.
