By Irene Muraida The class of nineteen hundred forty-eight Will now open our friendship gate T o introduce our class to you, So you may know our classmates, too. 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.
