Miss Rolling, our sponsor, for the last three years Has shared with us onr joys and tears. She’s full of fun, and we think she’s swell; As we bid her adieu, we wish her well. To be a nurse is Ruth Ann’s desire; On the ladder of success she’ll climb higher and hi her. Iler hair is curly and her eyes are brown; You’ll always see a smile and never a frown. Row there’s liob (’offer, a chubby tad; Who’s liked by everyone and never sad. He’s a pretty good sport altho he’s shy; You’ll have to admit, he’s a “regular guy.” He’s had many ears and driven many miles; We know at the iris he whistles and smiles. We know him as Roland, but he prefers “Rob”; If there’s something to be done he’s right on the job. Rest on our list is Ralph I)e Ki ck; He’s bound to do good with a business book. He makes a hit with his new Ford, And with the girls he’s highly scored. Lucille Evers, the best Editor there is, In shorthand and typing she’s really a “Whiz.” To shrink (i inches is her greatest ambition Tho I doubt if she’ll ever accomplish her mission. , John Fase deserves his title as “Star” ; His basketball skill is always up to par. He’s tall and good looking, with brown curly hair; A s far as his neatness, none can compare. He’s a well dressed guy, as you can see; You’ll know his as Jack, “The Jitterbuy Ree.” Tho his being short is no handicap, You’ll find all in all he’s a pretty good chap. Dorthy Hunter is our red headed lass; To he sure she’ll always argue in class. She’s really petite, and we think she’s swell; As a stewardess she’ll fit in very well. His eyelashes are curly, his smile is sincere; With his masculine looks he’ll draw the girls near. Of course, as you’ve guessed, John Klip is his name Someday his farming will bring him fame. August Krucek, our intellectual hoy, Being able to talk seems to bring him joy. A future in Oratory will fit him well, He’ll always have some facts to tell. The work of a poet was assigned to me; No other job could tougher be. But I’ve found some others who rendered their tiiil. And, if I’m rad lucky, a poem may be made. Evelyn Sigler, better known as “Sig,” Is our class secretary — her job is big. She is quite short and so very fair With pretty brown eyes and dark curly hair Here’s a boy with a humor us grin Teasing the girls to him is no sin. As our class president he’s really “All Reef’ ; John Samara just can’t be beat. Next comes Carol, our little lass Who loves to giggle and talk in class. She’s a friend and a leader wherever she goes, And you can be sure she’s got many beaus. She’s full of fun I’m sure you’ll agree Av the “Life of the Party’’ she’ll always be. She’s active in sports and in class work too, We’ll be sorry to bid our friend Betty adieu. Mathematics and Evelyn seem to agree For she likes algebra and geometry. In personality she’s rated very high ; She’s bound to be a success in life by and by. Now you’ve learned the hopes and ambitions to be Of every graduating he and she. we look back on good old DcMotte High, We can only utter a tearful goodby. — Sharon Magers Mesi Coh scn al ve Mo si Mo si Progressive Class Prophecy Graduation day 1961, ten years after the class of 51” ended their good time and hard studying in good old DeMotte High School. To think that my Senior Class would ever be what they are today. The class of 51” has made a thriving city out of the small town that DeMotte was in 1951. Only last week I met Mayor August Krucek on the street. He told me he had just come from the city hospital where Evelyn Zylstra is head nurse. He had gone to see Sharon Magers who was in the hospital suffer- ing from a broken toe she received when she fell during her Ballet Dance at the Fritts Opera House. To think that I was nearly arrested by one of my own students. The other day I was driving home in my new car which I had just purchased from the Curtiss Auto Sales Service when Police Chief John Sumara and Patrolman Robert Coffer stopped me for not having a license on my car. When I explained to them, they let me go. John asked me to come over some time and see his wife, the former Lucille Evers, and their new twins. When I got to the hotel I called the florist, who was none other than John Fase. to have flowers sent to Dorthy Hunter, who was just return- ing from her voyage into England where she has been a stewardess on an ocean liner. I noticed in the morning paper that Klip’s 5th Avenue” is having a sale on dresses designed by the great designer, Evelyn Sigler. I saw Ruth and Ralph this morning with their seven boys. They were just coming home from their new implement store The Stub.” I saw Carol and Betty today at the Board of Trade building here in town. Carol was getting prices on stocks for the United Air Lines where she is a stewardess. Betty left her job as personal secretary to come over to chat a little while with me. Well, this has been a very pleasant vacation for me, spending it in DeMotte. My husband and I enjoyed it. I am proud to say I was the sponsor of that class of 51” who have made their town the thriving city it is today. — Carol Unzicker Sharon Magers Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1951, being in a jolly and carefree state of mind, do hereby revoke any and all former wills, ills, and pills and declare this our last will and testa- ment. Ruth Cheever. in a helpful state of mind, wills her pr ettv brown eyes and quiet ways to Anna Mae Belstra and Janet Hammer- ton. Robert Coffer, in a wakeful state of mind, wills his ability to sleep and get stud- ies in on time, to Ernest Swart and Edward White. We hope you get by with it, bovs. Roland Curtiss, in an affectionate state of mind, wills to Paul Kaluf the technique of dating girls. Ralph De Kock. in a reckless state of mind, wills his ability to drive a car to Es- till Duggins and Mary Ann Holz. Lucille Evers, in a quiet state of mind, wills her librarian job to Edwin Totten, so he can be nearer to the books. John Fase, in a determined state of mind, wills his curly hair to Harold Kingma and Joyce Hamstra — to Harold so he won’t have to buy any more combs and to Joyce so she won’t have to set her hair anymore. Jack Fritts, i n a pensive state of mind, wdls his cornet to Robert Hunter and to Harold Jabaay. Blow hard, boys. Dorthy Hunter, in an alert state of mind, wills her height to Joann Kaper. That should even things up. John Klip, in a playful state of mind, wills his car to Fred Boissy. August Krucek, in a thoughtful state of mind, wills to Mahlon Grevenstuk and Joyce Jabaay his physics book. Don’t fight over it.

Carol Unzicker, in a sympathetic state of mind, wills her position as Student Coun- cil president and her negro play part to Carol Hart and Joan Scott, respectively. Good luck, girls. Betty Van Kepoel, in a sleepy state of mind, wills her ability to come to school after a late date to Carol Thornton and Roger DeYoung.

To the rightful heirs of all our master- ful possessions, the Junior Class, we will our happy dispositions, attitude, and good grades. To the Sophomore Class we will our old books, desks, and any old gum found under the desks. To the Freshmen Class, who looked up to us as big brothers and sisters, we will the ability to beat up the class of 58!” To the Janitors we will the oncoming stu- dents. Let’s hope they know where the wastepaper baskets are. To the teachers we happily will the fol- lowing: Miss Beanblossom — A home ec. class that will work and not gossip. Miss Griffith — A bookkeeping class that starts to study as soon as the bell rings in- stead of talking until told to study. We hope they will be able to add. Miss Kolling — An art class that will bring their own pencils to class. Mr. Stangle — A government class that will study for a test and not race to get back seats in class. Mr. Hission — A physics class that will get above average marks on a test. Mr. Leffler — All the bits of wood laying around in the shop room. Mr. Jones — A basketball team that will obey training rules. Mr. Moolenaar — An alto section that will sing and not talk. We also will all the school music found at our homes to you. Class History In the fall of 1948 we started our journey, step by step, until now in ’51 we are almost to the end. Our journey was loaded with adventures and fun; but, we’ll have to ad- mit, it was rugged at times. We started our journey with 21 travelers; but as I said before, the way was sometimes rugged and as a result there are only 16 survivors. We chose in our first lap of travel, Mrs. Moody as guide. Our leaders were Evelyn Zylstra, Kenny Hoffman, Evelyn Sigler, and Ralph DeKock. We named green and white our identification colors and a white carna- tion as our party’s flower. In the early part of our travels, the older and more experienc- ed travelers initiated us into their way of life. It was then that we really saw how cruel the expedition would be. It wasn’t all hard- ships though; for soon after our cruel mis- treatment, we stopped along the road and had a feast of roasted weiners. During our first lap we also stopped our climb for an- other night of festivities. This time it was called a carnival. We entered Ralph De- Kock and Evelyn Sigler as representatives for a contest for King and Queen. The second lap of our journey began in the fall of ’49. This time we chose Miss Kolling for our guide, and have found her to know the trail so well that we have seen fit to keep her until our journey is complet- ed. We chose Ruth Cheever, John Klip, John Fase, and Carol Unzicker for our lead- ers. Those traveling in other groups decided a council was necessary, so we submitted Bob Coffer and Evelyn Zylstra as delegates. We found this lap of the expedition to be so steep and mountainous that it was nec- essary to have more festivities than the us- ual to keep up the morale of the party. We had only 17 journeymen when we started on our third lap of this adventure. With Miss Kolling as our guide and Evelyn Zylstra, Lucille Evers, Evelyn Sigler, and Dorothy Hunter as sub-guides we were eager to continue on. We chose as our motto Onward and Upward.” That year our dele- gates to the council were Ruth Cheever and John Fase. We stopped again for a carnival. This time one of our candidates, Ruth Chee- ver, became Queen. Soon we received our class rings and sweaters. Other festivities were a skating party and a weiner roast at the game preserve (quite a distance from our main course). One of the great ob- stacles we overcame was the putting on of our Junior Play, Don’t Keep Him Wait- ing.” It was a huge success. At the end of the third part of our journey we gave a ban- quet for the oldest and most experienced travelers. In the fall of ’50 we began the fourth and final part of our journey. The time passed swiftly for we were eager to reach the end. Our main leader was John Sumara, with Ruth Cheever, Evelyn Sigler, and Evelyn Zylstra as his aids. Our faithful guide, Miss Kolling, remained loyal to the last. We stop- ped again for the festivities of a carnival. This time our candidates for King and Queen were Carol Unzicker and John Fase. John became King and we made a substan- tial profit besides to tide us over to the end as our supplies were running low. Carol Unzicker and Ralph DeKock were our dele- gates to the council. We soon came to our last big obstacle, Amazing Grade.” We made a success of it in spite of all the hind- rances thrown in the way. We published a yearbook telling about all our adventures in this journey along with the adventures of the other groups who were traveling at the same time as we were. At the close of the trip we were honored at a banquet. So now, after four short years, we have reached our goal. We have completed our first journey. ■ CLASS OFFICERS Junior Class Left to Right, Fourth Row : Estill Dug gins, Mahlon Grevenstuk, Harold Jabaay, Marvin Terpstra, Roger DeYoung, Ernest Swart, Edward Totten, Eddie White.
