But now before our members disband, We’d like you to know each one of our clan. To Mr. Hission we wish to express Our gratitude for his helpfulness. He has given us freely of his time, Though sometimes it has been hard to find. The first to be introduced is Keith; We’ve always known him to be neat. For driving around in his automobile, He seems to have a lot of zeal. Bob Bunning is very well known For playing with his saxophone. With his crewcut, he can be pointed out quick; For, unlike the others, his hair’s far from slick. Darrell has an interest in many things; With his acting, he entertainment brings. He has drawing and painting ability And also enjoys photography. In any subject Mary does well And we all agree her cheerleading’s swell. Her many activities give her plenty to do; She is president of Student Council and Sun- shine Club too. Another girl from DeMotte Is Carol, who reads a lot. She’s editor of the paper Along with several other kapers. A tall, slim girl named Evelyn With as good a humor as anyone. Sometimes she dearly loves to chat, But other times does far from that. This handsome lad with a friendly way Gets fine grades almost every day. And in sports Jim takes an active part; He is really off to a very good start. A talk dark boy with wavy hair; Allen’s ball playing is more than fair. He was our president for the last two years; For all his help, he deserves our cheers. Claude seldom misses a day of school And he’s not tardy, as a rule. He is always ready to do a task, Whenever anyone may ask. Tall Charlie can be seen from far, Especially in his new Ford car. When he is with the girl he adores The rest of us he simply bores. Betty, who has a birthday in June, Can play and sing many a tune. This brown-eyed miss has a friendly smile, Which she uses more than once-in-a-while. When Eleanor sits down to sew, She’ll soon have something nice to show. She is neat and tidy in everything, And someday she’ll wear an engagement ring. A friend who we arc glad to have met; She isn’t one we’ll quickly forget. This year Thelma has been rather busy, For being Booster Club president isn’t easy. Alice is a blonde with a pretty voice; To be a nurse is her first choice. But whatever she decides to do, We wish her success all the way through. A girl who likes to cook and bake, Yet now is trying a poem to make. But to make a poem I have a hard time, Since I do not usually write in rhyme. A rather tall girl is Frances; She has dark hair and wears glasses. Always ready to help someone out, Of this fact there’s not a doubt. At magazines he often looks, Although he doesn’t care for books. But if you’re wondering to whom I refer; It’s a brown-eyed boy named Arthur. John Van Keppel likes to joke, But still, being serious is in his scope. Especially in our two class plays, He acted his parts in the best of ways. Another boy who it’s time to mention, To his studies he gives good attention. But that’s not all that Bob gets done, For there’s many activities he doesn’t shun. Doris has auburn hair and brown eyes; To teach is where he interest lies. She has good friends by the score, And we know that she’ll have many more. Barbara is a girl who likes lots of fun, But still gets more than her share of work done. In our senior play, as Fibby Ann, She did as well as anyone can. The other blonde in our c lass Is Barbara, a blue-eyed lass. She’s not too tall and not too short, And she always proves a very good sport. Lester Thornton is his name; He likes to play in a ball game. A cheerful, pleasant fellow is he, And with a senior girl he likes to be. Lefty is a curly-haired chap Who doesn’t usually wear a cap. And quite often we do find He’ll speak some of his mind. Last Will and Testament By Mary DeKock. We, the Senior Class of 1955, are trying to show what the future holds in store for the juniors and teachers of this year, by willing to them some of our outstanding abilities and possessions. Keith Barker, our first senior, wills his front seat in study hall to John Bol. That doesn’t give you much to look forward to, does it, John? Bob Bunning wills both his enjoyment of music and his gift of music to Bob Kaper and Roy Kingma. With this gift, you two should make quite a duet. Darrell Crawford, in an exceedingly gener- ous state of mind, wills his miscellaneous ar- ticles in his desk, on his desk, on his seat, and on the floor to Marlene Hamstra. Let’s hope you’re a better housekeeper than he was! Carol Duggins, in a tired state of mind, wills her long, long working hours to Carol Kooy and Howard McDaniel. This is so you’ll have something to do nights. Evelyn Evers, in a carefree state of mind, wills all of her shorthand notebooks to Ron- nie Marshall and Ray Nannenga. Think of the work you will be saved in shorthand, boys. Next is James Fritts, who, trying to be helpful, wills his last years Don Eagle” hair- cut to Marvin Kaluf. Claude Goff, in a sympathetic state of mind, wills his respect for the teachers to Bob Jack- son. Allen Grube, in a reluctant state of mind, wills his long, dark, curly eyelashes to Bob Zylstra. That’s quite a change, isn’t it, Bob? Charles Hamstra, in a mischievous state of mind, wills his ability to steal watermelons and not get caught to Marvin Vander Molen and Bob Lloyd. Betty Jabaay, in a generous state of mind, and looking into the future, wills all of her government outlines to Bob Van Meerten. They’ll be real handy, Bob. Thelma Kaluf, in a frustrated state of mind, wills her position as Booster’s Club president and her ability to get workers for the ball games to Carolyn Hoffman. You’ve got a real job on your hands, Carolyn. Lois Knynsberg, in a helpful state of mind, wills her quiet ways to Charmaine De Fries and Janet St. John. What a valuable thing for them to have! Art Ptacek, in a speedy state of mind, wills his ability to get his art assignments in on time to John Oezer. Next on our list is Bob Schultz, who, with no state of mind at all, wills his ability to stay out late at night and still get to school on time to Barbara Groet. Don’t let these late nights affect you this way, Barb! Barbara Schaefer, in a romantic state of mind, wills all of the True Romance” maga- zines that she read in study hall to Virginia Bush and Myrle Coffer. Think of the educa- tion you two girls will be getting from read- ing these magazines! Les Thornton, in a drowsy state of mind, wills his sleeping spot in shop to Junior Van Keppel. Let’s hope you don’t snore, Junior. Eleanor Toppen, in a happy state of mind, wills her ability to trap a man and then keep him to Elaine Weirs. John Van Keppel, in a hungry state of mind, wills his old candy wrappers to Bill Thornton. Let’s keep them out of other people’s desks, tho, Bill. Alice Unzicker, in a musical state of mind, wills her place in the sextette to Mona Nan- nenga. Sing pretty now, Mona. Frances Vander Molen, in a reckless state of mind, wills her ability to drive to Evelyn De Vries and Kathryn Walstra. Wonder if you two will be able to get driver’s licenses. Doris Van Meerten, on the spur of the mo- ment, wills all of her trips to Rensselaer to Marilyn Van Weinen. Wonder if your trips will be for the same thing?!! Barbara Wagner, after much thought, de- cided to will her home ec. time to Lorraine Hoffman. Use it wisely, Lorraine. Bob Williamson, in a sleepy state of mind, wills his much-beloved job as the milkman” and the few hours sleep he gets to Donnie Griwac. Mary De Kock, in a mixed-up state of mind, wills all the times she changes her mind to Mary Scott. To: Mrs. Hoeppner — A typing class that is in their seats when the bell rings. Miss Mussman — An escalator. Miss Kolling — an art class that can draw. Mr. Jones — A toupee. Mr. Albritton — An operetta cast that knows their parts. Mr. Rose — A quiet study hall. Mr. Rude — A new finger and an unscarred forehead. Mr. Hission — A record player so he won’t have to sing to make music??!! Mr. Stangle — A talkative government class. Class Prophesy By Alice Unzicker After traveling for a few weeks I decided I would stop at New York. I arrived there at 10 A.M. in the morning. I decided that since I got there so early I would go shopping. After parking my car I glanced around and saw a book store. I went in to look around and a clerk came up to me and to my surprise she was Mary De Kock, one of my 1955” classmates. After we chatted for awhile she invited me to stay at her apartment or if I wanted to stay somewhere else she suggested the Ritzy Fritzy Hotel” owned by James Fritts. When I was signing in I saw Frances Vander Molen, who is employed there. We talked for quite a while. She told me Allen Grube was the manager of a big department store in the main part of town. She had to get back to work so I left to go shopping. I decided I would go to Grube’s Department store. I went in and the first person I saw was Betty Jabaay, who was waiting on a customer. As soon as she finished she came over and talked to me. She told me Doris, Carol, and Evelyn also worked there, and Oh, yes,” Claude is the ele- vator boy. After I had bought some clothes I started back to my room at the hotel. As I rounded the corner I saw a newstand and decided to get a paper to read. After a few minutes of scanning the headlines I selected one called Top In News.” When I arrived in my room I sat down to read my paper. I nearly jumped out of my chair when I read that Eleanor Toppen was editor of the paper. As I read further I read that the 500 mile race held at Schultz’s South Side Speedway, owner Bob Schultz, was won by Art P. and second was Keith B. When I looked at the comics I read a comic strip called Nelson Brady written by Darrell C. After looking further I saw that the great Psychiatrist Robert B. was supposed to land at 2:00 P.M. The pilot of his private plane is Charles Hamstra. Just before putting down the paper I saw where there was a small fire in Lefty’s Loan Corporation. His secretary Barbara W. and Assistant Secretary Lois K. suffered minor burns. They were given first aid by two nurses, Thelma K. and Barbara S., who were summoned by police chief John V. K. I looked at my watch and it was getting late so I thought I’d better be leaving since I had an appointment out of town. When I got started I saw I was just about out of gas. I saw a sign which said Pay less at Les’” so I drove in and to my surprise Les T. came out and serviced my car. After getting on my way I thought back of the day’s visit and I real- iezd that I had met all my 1955” classmates. Class History Bi Cauol, Duggins It was in the fall of 1951 when we began our climb. There were 34 of us then. In that early stage of the climb we needed guidance, so we chose Mr. Moolenaar to help us. We decided to go about the whole trip diplomatically, so we elected Lester Thornton to the presidency and Charles Hamstra as his partner. We elected Lois Knynsberg as secretary and Roy Schlarp as treasurer. We sent ahead Bob Bunning and Carol Duggins to the Student Council to represent us. We hadn’t climbed very high before Kenny Compton and Jerry Vermeulen came to a spot they liked and decided to let the rest of us go on without them, however Harriet Glasscock and Margie Nannenga decided to join us. We very appropriately chose “Climb though the Rocks be Rugged” as our Motto. We chose the pink carnation as our flower and blue and silver as our colors. Then in May we reached a beautiful green valley and decided to camp there for the summer. Thus ended the first lap of our climb. In September of 1952 we prepared to leave the green valley and move on to the steeper rocks. We felt more keenly the need for help and chose Mr. Champion to direct us. We then held elections. Betty Jabaay won the presidency and Alice Unzicker the vice presidency. Lois Knynsberg began her second year as sec- retary. Evelyn Every took care of our finances and we sent Lester Thornton and Joyce Boender to the Stu- dent Council. We gathered together 30 eager students and began to cl imb. During the climb we came to a little mountain trail, where we met Berniss Saundrey and Barbara Wagner, they joined our little group, but Darlene Grevenstuk, Jerry Zylstra, Harriet Glasscock, Margie Nannenga and Bob Schultz left us to follow the trail. We kept climbing though until we came to a cool looking woods and decided to spend the summer there. Again in September of 1953 we made preparations to begin the third quarter of the climb. We chose Miss Kolling to sponsor us and held our annual elections. Allen Grube became our president and Alice Unzicker took the vice presidency for her second consecutive year. Bob Williamson took care of our books, and Mary DeKock was our treasurer. Barbara Schaefer and John Van Keppel represented us in the Stu- dent Council. Jerry Vermeulen rejoined us just before we began this part of our climb, making us a total of 30 students. As the climb became tougher Roy Schlarp, Don Hixson and John Mak left our little group. Before we came to our summer camping ground, we stopped along the way long enough to present the play, “Pride and Prejudice.” As we looked ahead we noticed the seniors, and invited them to join us in a banquet at the Curtis Creek Country Club, in the early part of May. They accepted our invitation, and we celebrated the end of the third quarter of our climb. In preparation of the last quarter of our climb we chose Mr. Hission to help us, and for the last time held elections. Allen Grube began his second term as president and Jerry Vermeulen acted as his partner. Carol Duggins was elected secretary and Mary DeKock began her second year as treasurer. Betty Jabaay and Bob Bunning represented us in Student Council. Clara Spurgeon, Lorretta DeYoung and Joyce Boender claimed their fortunes in our summer camping grounds, but Bob Schultz rejoined us and we began our last lap with 25 students. During the early part of this lap we delayed the climb long enough to present “Everybody’s Crazy,” which was a great success. We continued the climb until the middle of May when we finally reached the top. Our success was highlighted by graduation, after which we went for a short trip be- fore the members of our class departed to go their own ways and seek their fortunes. Now as we stand at the top of the steep rocks, we look forward to the green valleys and shady wood- lands, we know not what opportunities are in store for us, but we know we will always carry fond memor- ies of our four year climb through the halls of DeMotte High.

The Junior and Senior High School Library in our school accommo- dates about 250 students. An organization of student librarians takes over the technical work of the library. The student librarians are organ- ized into a group that works for better library service to the students. Doris Van Meerten, who is the assistant librarian, is chairman of the group. About 200 new books will be added to our collection this year. These books are catalogued by Mrs. Hoeppner and the librarians. Each room of the grade department has its own library. These books are also recorded and catalogued in the central library. Many new books are added to the room libraries each year. Magazines and newspapers are kept in the High School Library for use by students. The adults of the community are welcome in our library. Reading is excellent recreation! The high-point of the year for the librarians is a trip to Chicago to help select new books for the library.
