By Marilyn Sauer Across the wide open spaces of the plains came our wagon train in the fall of 45.” Our chief trail blazer was Bob Moolenaar and his scouts were Don Fieldhouse, Ruth Speechley, and Byrne Sekema. We received our advice from Miss Gundy, who was well able to guide our journey to the west. On September 18, we were initiated as tried and true travelers by a passing caravan. Our wagons were decorated in blue and silver as we strove Forward Forever.” We stopped in Springfield and had a jamboree. As we journeyed on we met the first caravan and repaid them for their kind hospitality at the start of our journey. Andy Sytsma and Ethel Mae Hoffman decided to stop off in St. Joseph, Missouri to seek their fortunes, other than the gold which we were covet- ing. The fall of 46” found us again trekking over the country, with Marilyn Sauer as chief trail blazer and Margaret Zylstra, Ruth Speechley, and Eleanor Klip as scouts. Miss Gundy continued to map our trail across country. We hoped to find the best trail this year with the help of all girl guide. In Topeka, Kansas, Bob Bormann and Bob Dwyer joined our parade of gold seekers. On September 15 we stopped at Wichita, Kansas and had another jamboree. Ruth and Joe Speechley decided to leave the wagon train and go to Tacoma, Washing- ton, so we bade them farewell on December 12. Bob Moolenaar became a scout in the absence of Ruth Speechley. When we ar- rived at Salt Lake City, Utah, Lawrence Terborg, Eugene Belstra, and Bob Bormann left our group to go bear-hunting in the mountains. The year 47” found us in western Utah with Eleanor Klip as chief trail blazer as- sisted by Bob Moolenaar, Beatrice Streveler, and Bill Unzicker as scouts. Our faithful guide, Miss Gundy, was still with us. Betty Williamson, Joan McAndrew, Joyce Arens, Virginia Biggs, and Vivian Stalbaum joined our contingent in Elko, Nevada. In January we received our new buckskin outfits and our first taste of gold in the form of rings from a traveling salesman from Minnesota. Our group decided to be dramatic, so when we hit Carson City, we reined up and made camp. We entertained the folks that were resting there a few days, with a play which was called Brides to Burn.” The whole town was in an uproar with laughter and it relieved them of all their worries for a while. Everyone remembered April 2, as a day for laughter. As we neared Reno, Ne- vada, Vivian Stalbaum left the wagon train to seek a career elsewhere. In spring we met a wagon train of folks we knew, so we showed them a good time by giving them a banquet at a sleepy lagoon nearby. Thinking the prospects would be better around Los Angeles, Miss Gundy bid us good-bye and travelled southward. Every- one missed her guidance until 48,” when Mr. Hission consented to lead us cn our rush to the coast for our fame and fortune. Deraid Magers withdrew from our group at Virginia City, Nevada. In 48” Eleanor Klip continued her task as chief trail blazer, with Ruth Carter, George Konovsky, and Don Fieldhouse scouting along with her. We greeted and initiated a caravan of new- comers to the west in September. Getting that dramatic itch again everyone pooled their experience and entertained the camp- ers in the community with a play called Let Me Out of Here.” All the forty-niners agreed that it was a relief from the tension of continuous travel to see something comi- cal again. As the year went on and we neared our goal, we began preparing for our careers which we had been heading for, and put in an order for our tools which we needed to complete our task out west. Our plans are to stake our claims on May 25, 1949. aewi By Joyce Arens For the start of this poem you’ll want to hear Of the dear, happy days in the bygone year. And to complete it is the “class of forty-niners’’ Who, of this poem, are the true designers. First is Eleanor , who everyone knows Is a friend and leader wherever she goes. Her dress and hairdo is supreme — We all agree that Ellie’s sure keen. A whiz in math and honors, too His ideas are of a witch’s brew. In sports he’s super and lives in fame, Robert or “ Rumpky” is his name. Next is a blonde who is fond of fun, As our annual editor she rates an a- . Ambition — sitting upon the boss’s knee. Now, Dolores! Could it be? In history and government Ruth can’t be beat, As our vice-president, she’s all “reet.” In studying ability she rates pretty high At first glance she seems serious, but oh my! Next comes a tall lad with dark, wavy hair, Who has a clever , sophisticated air. He was elected class secretary this year, But marketing seems to be George’s career. For his variety of cars, Don is noted, As our class treasurer he was voted. Photography seems to be his ambition And we know he will try to fulfill his mission. Mathematics and Margaret seem to agree For she likes algebra and geometry. In her high school years she played in the band , I knoiv you will agree she surely is grand. Marilyn is known for her humor and wit, And in dramatics she’s just “It”. In personality and charm she rated an “A”, I’m sure you will agree that she’s 0. K. Beatrice was yell leader in her high school years, Now she’s the one who deserves the cheers. She has alwaus been known for her ability in art In school activities she surely did her part. One of Gerry’s characteristics is that she’s tall Rut she apparently doesn’t mind it at all. Her clothes are many and are always in style. To inherit them would be something worth while Our student manager now has his turn, He stole the show in “Brides to Burn”. In athletics lie aids the bruised and lame, You guessed it, Raymond is his name. Bryne was the proud owner of that car with the “New Look”, (Which I’m sure you’d never find in any ancient hook), He dates a different girl wherever he goes And is smartly dressed from his head to his toes. Demil is known for stealing a few snoozes In study hall, history class, or wherever he chooses. And in football he played pretty well, But what he will be is hard to tell. On Commencement night , coming down the aisle You are sure to see a cute little smile. I don’t think you will see it until You have spotted a little lad called Bill. Next comes Betty, our little lass Who loves to giggle in bookkeeping class. She is comical and full of fun And can amuse almost anyone. Wayne must come next, as everyone knows. For he follows Betty wherever she goes. In photography he is best in every way, He hopes it to be his career some day. A man of many inches, anil every inch a man, Kenny will nicely fit into some tall girl’s plan. A dignified role he was asked to play, But he is far from dignified any day. As “Sappy Sapolia” she made a hit For Joan is known for her frolic and wit. She is happy, contented, carefree, and gay. And is ready for fun any day. I’ve tried and tried, but to no avail To complete just this one little talc. One of the hardest things in life Is to write a poem about oneself. Not a care in this world to worry this lad, For he’s slow, easy going, and seldom sad, If of the anxieties of this life you tire, Believe yourself and sec Bob Dwyer Last, but not least in this line of fame Is a dark haired lad, Verlin by name. A constant friend and companion was he To Byrne and that grand ol’ Jalopy. Mr. Hission, our sponsor, was able and true As hr shared our failures and achievements, too. He was friendly, congenial, and ready for fun As he so ably guided each one. ITe bid farewell, dear DeMotte High, The “class of ’40” must say good-bye. Your cherished memories will bind each heart, As we may soon drift far apart. t By Marilyn Sauer We, the senior class of 1949, in a doubtful state of mind do will and bequeath the fol- lowing worthy possesions to our followers in this worldly institution of learning.

Kenneth Terpstra, in a happy state of mind, wills his life of a bachelor and his long legs to Marty Hoffman. Let’s start stretching, Mike! Bill Unzicker, in an intelligent state of mind, wills all his A’s” and his servant part in the play to Walter Terpstra. Betty Williamson, in a blissful state of mind, wills her ability to be quiet and re- served at all times to Annette Knip. Can you stand a quiet class juniors? Margaret Zylstra, in a flashy state of mind, wills her cool head and her ability to get along with teachers to Robert Kelly. Temper! Temper! To the rightful heirs of our possessions, the junior class, we will our fame as being the most ambitious and jolly class in school. To the sophomore class, we will our good behavior in all study halls — Poor teachers!! To the freshman class, we will them the ability to get revenge from the class of ’56! To the teachers we will the following: Mr. Hission — Someone who will keep track of his text books. Mr. Stangle — A government class that will keep track of the price of pigs.

Everyone is tense and anxiously waiting for the cannon bang to start off the annual affair. The town is anticipating a large, energetic crowd for the an- nually enjoyed event. Our town radio station, BULBS, with Mr. William Unzicker Jr., as announcer, has been broadcasting the latest news items concerning the Homecoming. It is predicted to be one of the largest and best Home- comings in DeMotte’s history. The telephone operators, under the capable management of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Huhn (the former Betty Williamson), have been swamped with calls. Former resi- dents have been calling from all over the United 1 States telling their rela- tives to expect them for the occas- ion. The ' Konkey Taxi Service,’ under the operation of Mr. Verlin Schwan- ke, will run night and day. DeMotte will be honored to have some guest celebrities at the event. Among these are three former resi- dents: Byrne Sekema, now one of the world’s famous band leaders with his band, ' Sekey’s Swingy Swoopers.’ An outstanding member of his band is the great clarinetest, Miss Margaret Zylstra. A main attraction to Sekey’s Swingy Swoopers band is Miss Bea Streveler, who has recently hit star- dom as a great new sensational singer. DeMotte is very proud of the fact that these former residents have come into the nation’s spotlight as great musicians. In connection with the Home- coming, this paper has been asked to announce that on Friday night of Homecoming Week, all the gradu- ates of the class of 1949 are to meet at The Tee Pee,” for a class re- union. The Tee Pee,” a well-known hotel-restaurant is under the co- ownership and management o f Misses Ruth Carter and Eleanor Klip, two members of the class of 1949. All members are urged to at- tend this gathering. Parking facilities have been well arranged under the direction of Mr. Denzil Barker, town constable who is acting as chief parking attendant for the Homecoming. There will be no parking difficulties, if his orders are carried out, so let’s all cooperate with him and his assistants. From all appearances it seems that the Homecoming will go over in a grand way with the help of all. There will be fun for all. So I’ll be seeing you there. The Editor DeMotte, Indiana August 19, 1959 Now that the Homecoming is over, the people of DeMotte are settling down to their original status. The confusion and excitement is dying down, but the town folk shall never erase from their minds the spectacular celebration of 1959. The winner of the new 1959 Spcedabaker car is Mr. Raymond Jabaay, a DeMotte stock and grain farmer. When he was asked to say how he felt about winning, he re- plied, It reminds me of my speedy Model-A Ford, I had when I was a senior in 1949.” The citizens were over-whelmed with the exploitations of the trapeze artists— Joan McAndrew, Virginia Biggs, and Ken Terpstra — who per- formed every night of the Home- coming. They are the renowned, Zany Dazzlers.” Interesting and helpful lectures were given on modern improvements in farming and the up-kcep of the farm by Mr. Robert Moolenaar, of the Agriculture Department of Pur- due University. The First-Aid Station on the grounds was under the skillful ad- ministration of Dr. Don Fieldhouse and Miss Joyce Arens, R. N. The town is grateful to them for their assistance in helping to make the Homecoming a success. We would like to inform the resi- dents of this community as to how the speaker, the Governor of In- diana, was able to make his timed ap- pearance here for his speech. All thanks go to the manager of the In- dianapolis City Airport, Mr. Robert Dwyer, and his secretary, Miss Mari- lyn Sauer, for their speedy connec- tions. For those of you who do not know, we’d like to inform the friends of this couple that their engagement announcement appeared in the In- dianapolis Star” last week. Within the next few days, pic- tures of the Homecoming will ap- pear in this newspaper. These pic- tures were taken by Ace Photog- rapher, Mr. George Konovsky of West Lafayette, Indiana. Miss Ger- aldine Belstra, news photographer of this paper, assisted him in taking the pictures. With the ending of the Home- coming, we have found that many of the class of 1949 have come into fame and fortune in many different walks of life. This has especially been brought to my attention, since I, your editor, Dolores DeVries, was a member of that class. We are happy that all of us were able to meet again after 10 years to talk over exper- iences that we have had individually. Thanks to the Homecoming for bringing us all together again after 10 long, eventful years.

The Indians, though leading in spirit, lost all their games this season through lack of experience and size. Although the odds were great, our team fought through an unsuc- cessful season from beginning to end. How- ever, next year DeMotte should have a more experienced team, as this year’s team was made up of underclassmen. The only game the Freshmen and Sopho- mores played was with Wheatfield in which the Indians lost by a score of 51 to 12. The Scores of the Games ■; Were As Follows We They Wheatfield 0 45 Mt.
