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.

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.
