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.

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.
