Last Will and Testment By Byron Walstra We the Senior Class of DeMotte High School of 1957 faithfully and with malice towards none will to the Juniors and Teachers some of our long sought after possessions and abilities. To Mr. Stangle, a tape recorder to record all of his speeches. To Mrs. Hoeppner, a student body that returns overdue magazines and books. To Mr. Williams, a new finger to replace the one he is always pointing at something. To Mr. Hoffman, a Physics Class that will talk about physics. To Mr. Tinney, a new joke book. To Mr. Hougland, a football team that can win more than one game. Bet- ter get your own football pads Hougie! To Mr. Leslie, a new girl friend. Where are you going to put her? In the Shop? To Mrs. Kroft, a ki tchen without chairs so she won ' t have anything to stand on when the mice get out of hand! To Mr. Mann, a quiet chorus class. To Mrs. Mann, an anti-gossip shorthand class. To Mr. Babaganian, a color chart so he will wear clothes that match. Good luck, Babo! Now, we the Seniors, would like to bequeath our most hallowed possess- ions and abilities to next year ' s Seniors. I, Ruth Alma Abbring, in a mischievous state of mind will my long finger nails to Rita Hoffman for protection. I, Kay Bunning, in a black mood will my black hair to Jerry Heimlich and Larry Hunter. I, Mildred Coberly, in a helpful state of existence will my ability to stay out of trouble to Tom Fritts and Elmer Vander Molen. We, Marilyn Dahm and Pat Wyre, do solemnly bequeath our D. 0. M. membership cards to Judy Griwac and Betty DeYoung.

Class Poem By Will Dyke As you read the lines that are following here, I ' ll be trying my best to make them sound clear, They may not be the best that DeMotte ever had. But you have to admit that they ' re really not bad, It ' s not that I ' m bragging you understand, But my mind and my heart are ruling my hand. Mr. Hission ' s a man we ' ll always remember. He passed away the last of December. He was good and kind and he did all he could. To help us do the things that we should. First is Ruth Abbring, now there ' s a fine lass, She ' s the Student Council member of our class. Of the Football Homecoming, she was the queen. And I ' m sure you ' ll agree that she ' s really keen. Third ' s Mildred Coberly, or Millie she ' s called, She is usually not very easily failed. This is a girl who will go somewhere, With her dazzling green eyes and her reddish-blond hair. Then comes Russ Duggins, our class President, In sports he ' s the best, he ' s not easily bent. He likes to write articles which newspapers need, In Journalism I ' m sure he ' ll succeed. Mr. Leslie also sponsors our class, He ' s the shop teacher, what a blast. .He also sings and he does real nice As the Senior ' s sponsor I know he ' ll suffice. With class sponsors we ' re overflowing. But here is another one you ' ll be knowing. Mr. Babaganian was also elected, And I know dern well he won ' t be rejected. Next is Kay Bunning, a girl who is known. For her friendly smile that is usually shown. She is always around to lend a hand, In any way that she possibly can. Next on the list is Marilyn Dahm, She is quiet and nice and usually calm. She ' ll say hello wherever you meet. With a girl like her it ' s hard to compete.
