We all must hid our teachers , friends, and school adieu. Hut hope we may again, in the future, he seeing you. First on the list is our sponsor, Mr. Hission, Who, after teaching us, has achieved a great mission. He is well liked hy the students and teachers as well. And we Senior students, think he’s especially Swell! George Becker, the shortest of the senior boys, Has a lot of fun doing something he enjoys. We haven’t any idea what George hopes to do, But we wish him luck, all the years through. Marinus Boer, widely known as Mart, Came hack after two years to get a new start. He wants to study medicine, or he a preacher, no less. We hope whatever ’twill he, he will he a success. Dorothy Bormann, our brown eyed girl. Has to her advantage a natural curl. She works in the restaurant, is nice to all. She loves all kinds of sports, especially baseball. Stanley Cheever, nick-named “Beaver” by his friends, Always has a cheery smile which he so often lends. Stanley loves flying airplanes; to him ’tis a hobby. Some day his picture may be in a world-renowned lobby. An all around fine boy and active in sports, Who takes part in things of all different sorts. Perhaps you have guessed him — it is James Coffer. It isn’t hard to see the success his future can offer. Edna DeFries, a cheer leader for three years, In tourneys and games has seen happiness and tears. She has a lot of work, which she does with a zest, And stopping at nothing, she surely does her best. Paul DeVries, an “inventor” you say? He’ll probably be a great one some day. “ Paulie,” to Ins friends — A very nice lad, Is quiet and reserved, and seldom gets mad. Another of our girls is Evelyn Hansen by name, She is a good sport, and stays quite the same. She’s busy with work of all kinds from morn till eve, And it seems she could strain anything out of a siene. Kenneth Heimlich, a boy of our heart, Was a big hit in each play — every part. In school he takes part in sports, especially basketball, But because of his hip, he couldn’t play football. Paul Henrichs is the next of our lads. Whenever you see him, he has a car of his dad’s. Regardless of pranks and his jokes which are many, We all must agree, he’s not a bad penny. Mart) Hoffman, the blond of our class, Someday as an athlete on a (jreat team could pass. He has a new Chevie, which he thinks is a dandy, And Edna must agree; it comes in pretty handy. Russel Hunter, because of his hair is called “Rusty,” Has some gray matter which he doesn’t want to get musty. I’ll not predict what he will do when he graduates from DeMotte, But we wish him luck — and at that, quite a lot. Harry Kaper, you know him I’m sure. His dad is the owner of the big feed store. Harry plays on the basketball team, And when he makes a basket, you should sec his face beam. Robert Kelly, who played the “Ghost” in our play, Has wishes of his own, which he will fulfill some day. He has an old car — rather cute at that. His spare tire is off, so evidently a flat! Kingma’s a lad whom we all call “Jim,” In none of our sports can we do without him. He is a swell fellow, well liked by us all. He always seems happy — spring, winter, or fall. Annette Knip, a “happy go lucky” girl, Is highly respected and to her friends quite a pearl. She hopes to be a beautician some day, But I am beginning to doubt that she may. Bob Nannenga, the dark haired lad, Is really quite jovial and seldom seen sad. He played football and liked it a lot, And wished he was right back there — “Johnny on the spot.” Esther Nannenga, is a friend to all, You’ll see her smile even at the end of the hall. She loves sports and knows baseball by heart, And if asked to do something, she does her part. Marcella Nuss, you know her I’m sure. As a singer, she may have something in store. She, too, is a yell leader, and up on her toes, If there’s something she doesn’t like, she pulls up her nose. Mary Ann Peterson, is a pretty good cook. She doesn’t have to look for recipes in a book. She plays in the band ; plays the piano a bit. Now for a good friend, she makes a big hit. Dorothy Schoonveld, the musician of the class, For a music teacher she may some day pass. We hope she may go on to college, And get some more musical knowledge. A lad of great height, “Uncle Phineas” in our play, We wonder if maybe he’ll be an archaeologist some day. Walter Terpstra, called “Walt” or “Terpy” for short, Can usually do OK in school and “hold the fort.” Last but not least is poor little insignificant me, I’m not much for poetry as you can easily see. If asked to do something, I try to do my best, I’m Josephine V under Ploeg, or have you already guessed. Class Prophecy By Kenneth Heimlich In this meeting of the great mystics, I shall endeavor to get in contact with the future. As I gaze into the crystal ball, I see ten years into the future. Among the inter- esting things I see there are the members of the class of 1950 of DeMotte High High School. I am sure they are great suc- cesses in their callings. First of all I see the front of a grocery store where they are having a sale on a new improved product. The sign in front of the store reads, Better Buy Becker’s Baked Beans.” George seems to be doing well in his business. Now in the crystal ball looms another crystal ball, gazing into this second crystal ball are two ladies both by the name of Dorothy, whose surnames are Bormann and Schoonveld. Seems they learned their trade frcm the senior play at DeMotte High School. Next in my crystal I see a small garage where some construction is go ing on. On further inspection I see the garage owner is Stanley Cheever, who is building his new 1960 Cheevermobile. Now I see a college lecture room in New York. Lecturing to the class is that renown- ed educator, Dr. James F. Coffer — his brains are still working. Clearly into the crystal now comes the office of the Kankakee Valley Daily News, DeMotte’s daily newspaper. Inside the mod- ern office at a very splendid desk sits the editor of this publication, Miss Edna De- Fries. Across the street from the newspaper of- fice is another fine building, on the window I read, DeVries’ Dandy Device Department. Paul has a gadget for every need. As I peer deeper into the crystal ball, I see a great farm with much land and numer- ous buildings. On the huge barn I read Mar- tin J. Hoffman, Jr., Gentleman Farmer. A feed truck roars up to the farm and out jumps Pilsbury’s Best,” who’s real name is Mr. Harry Kaper. Mr. Kaper has a very thriving feed business. The bookkeeping part of this firm is efficiently run by Miss Evelyn Hansen. The crystal ball has become very cloudy now, as the dust clears a little, I find the comotion caused by Steamer Kelly’s Roar- ing Roadster” which he just drove around a corner at 150 miles an hour. Bob has be- come a famous driver. Much of his success is due to his mechanic, Russell Hubcap” Hunter, and his race promoter, Mr. Paul Henrichs. After that exciting scene in the crystal ball another strange sight appears; it seems to be a tangled mass of humanity. As I look closer, I see it is a football stadium, and run- ning for another touchdown is Jolten Jim” Kingma, star fullback for the Virgie Tom- cats, the famous professional team. Leading the cheers for this team is the professional team of acrobats, The Gyrating Gymsters. Members of this very famous and talented group are Mary Peterson and Annette Knip, their organizer and leader is Mighty Mart” Boer. Now as I gaze into the crystal ball I see a very long pole sticking up in the air. As it becomes clearer I see that it is the tower of the new DeMotte radio station, WOW. Right now a very popular program is going lady, who is known for her exciting exploits out over the airways. People all over the in capturing wild game, Marcella Bring state listen nightly to that fine singer of folk ’Em Back” Nuss. She has just returned from songs, Texas Bob” Nannenga. As I look an expedition in Africa. Many of the furs around this radio station I see other mem- Miss Nuss brings back are sold to the dis- bers of the good old class of 50.” Another tinguished furriers in New York, Vander program is just starting; it seems to be very Ploeg and Nannenga. Josephine and Esther interesting. have gathered wide fame with their new The genial master of ceremonies of this fads in furs. program is that talented actor and comedian As I look into the crystal now it seems Jolly Wally” Terpstra. The guest on this it has turned into a mirror, but on second program is that famous and daring young thought I guess it must be me still gazing. llegrees O Conferred Seniors MB — Mechanical Brain EH — Earnest Helper RH — Real Happy EN — Especially Nice JVP — Jolly, Vivacious Person • MP — Mighty Polite JC — Jolly Company Teachers W f — Witty Talker EDF — Earnestly Deserves Friendship CM — Congenial Mystro SC — Sincere Company PS — Principal Spark PDV — Probably Deserves Victory WJ— Winning Joe MN — Merry Noise JH — Jolly Heart KH — Keen Helper KP — Keen Philosopher BG — Bah Gum RN — Real Noisy DS — Dandy Senior MK — Mighty Korny AK — Always Kapable DB— Dandy Bell PH — Perfect Helper GB — Good Bet MH — Mighty Hopeful RK — Real Kasanova JK — Jovial Knight HK — Humorous Kapers DB — Does Best last Will And Testament By Marcella Nuss We, the Senior Class of 1950, being of sound state of mind as usual, do part with our most treasured possessions in this, our last will and testament. We will and bequeath to our rightful heirs, the Junior Class, our happy disposi- tions and means for keeping out of trouble. Think that is possible, Juniors? To the Sophomore Class we will our cher- ished memories of our school days in DHS and only hope yours will be as wonderful as ours have been. To the Freshman Class we will our stud- ious ways and corny jokes. We know you 11 appreciate them Freshies!! To the janitors we will all the old gum stuck around here and there to do with as they see fit. Mart Boer in a generous state of mind, wills his quiet ways and good looks to Ralph DeKock .The girls ought to like that Ralph! Evelyn Hansen wills her trusty old short- hand book and her usual quiet ways to Carol Unzicker. Make good use of them Carol! Russel Hunter, in a romantic state of mind wills his ability to stick to one girl and his red hair to John Fase. Good luck, John. Esther Nannenga, in a business-like state of mind, wills her position as Editor of the annual and her love for sports, especially baseball, to Ruth Cheever. Keep up the good work, Ruth. Josephine Vander Ploeg and Mary Peter- son, in carefree states of mind, will to Lu- cille Evers their friendliness toward others and their popularity. Jim Coffer wills to August K. his senior cords and red suspenders. New Sunday out- fit August, take good care of them. Walt Terpstra wills his most beloved me- mories of his high school days, his part in the Senior play UNCLE PHINEAS,” to Ernest Swart. Walt only hopes you have as much fun as he had Ernie. Edna DeFries, in a happy state of mind, wills her cheer-leading position and her abil- ity to make friends and keep them to Sharon Magers. We hope you will do as well as she has, Sharon. Stanley Cheever and Paul DeVries, in doubtful states of mind, will their way with the teachers and their knowledge of Me- chanics to John Sumara. The teachers ought to like the first part, John!! Marcella Nuss, in a natural state of mind, wills her love for popcorn and sense of humor to Betty Van Kepple. Corny Betty ” as she was known in them days. Bob Nannenga in a drowsy state of mind, as usual, wills to Bob Coffer, his ability to sleep in study hall and get by with it. Here’s hoping you don’t get caught Bob!! Dorothy Schoonveld and Annette Knip, will to Evelyn Zylstra, the fun they have to- gether and their cheery attitudes. Paul Henrichs and George Becker, in me- chanical states of mind, will to Roland Cur- tiss, George’s little old Ford, and Paul’s driv- ing ability. Now you’re all set, Roland. Red Heimlich and Bob Kelly will to John Klip their interest in the Hebron girls. Bet- ter start heading North, John! In case you get lost they also will you a compass. Dorothy Bormann, in a conceited state of mind, wills her pretty clothes and brown eyes to Dorothy Hunter and Evelyn Sigler. How are you going to share them girls? Jim Kingma and Harry Kaper will their height and big feet to Jack Fritts. Better get the Wheaties out Jack!! Marty Hoffman wills to Howard Fair- child his love for basketball and his blonde hair. Nice combination, Howard. To the teachers we so generously will: Mr. Stangle: A Government class that can get to class on time. Mr. Jones: A team that will someday win the Sectional. Miss Rolling : An English Class that knows what a noun is. Mr. Poucher: A shop class that knows which side of a saw you saw with. Miss Griffith: A typing class that can do more than chew gum. Mr. Moolenaar: A band that can read music; it would be helpful. I liiss lliston t By Russel Hunter Four short years ago we started on the road to a higher education. We have now reached our destination — graduation. These four years at times have seemed as if they would never end, at times a bit on the bor- ing side, but as we look back over the four years we have spent in achieving, they are indeed four glorious years, four years to be remembered and cherished in later life. We began our freshman year with 3 1 students. We chose as our president, Ken- neth Heimlich; vice-president, Jim Coffer; and Russel Hunter for secretary-treasurer.

At the first meeting officers were chosen as follows: president, Edna DeFries; vice president, Mart Boer; secretary, Evelyn Hansen; treasurer, Ruth Cheever. Through the effort of the Student Coun- cil, new flags were put through-out the school house. Early in the school year we made efforts to install a coke and candy machine. During December these were in- stalled in the lower hall and we have been doing a thriving business since. STUDENT COUNCIL During the latter part of December we sponsored a clean-up week. Speeches were made, waste baskets distributed, and posters put up. A drive was made to clean up the school grounds. They also sponsored bas- ketball programs and the award night which was held the same night as the exhibit. The Christmas scene which was displayed on the Here is a picture of our candy and coke machine which are situated in the lower hall. school steps was also put on by the Student Council. The Student Council also bought slipcovers for the new overstuffed set don- ated to the school by the Booster’s Club.
