Chuck Peterson ' s one who ' s been known quite awhile. For his good-natured ways and his friendly smile. He will probably further his education. After his high school lucubration. Warren Swart is always a happy soul, He ' s big too, as you probably know. He drives a Plymouth, the second he ' s had. It ' s pink and white, he might start a fad. Byron Walstra is one of those guys. Who is tall and thin and wears levis. He is a whiz in mathematics too. It makes me feel dumb to watch him go through. Next on the list comes Bob Eenigenburg, It ' s about the longest name I ' ve ever heard. But now it ' s been shortened to Inky I ' m told, Around all the teachers he tries to be bold. Next is Pat Wyre, last but not least, She likes to ride horses, and she keeps herself neat. What she will be is hard to tell. But whatever she does, she ' ll do it well. Bob Schaeier is one that ' s on the ball, Lu is what he likes to be called. He ' s got a blue Ford that runs once in awhile. But if it doesn ' t, he still wears a smile. Doreen Thornton is next I suppose, She has blond hair and a little pug nose. She gets mad sometimes, but that ' s okay, I guess we all get to feeling that way. Marilyn Walstra is next in line, She ' s tall, nice looking, and unusually kind. She doesn ' t say much, but she has her fun. Like most of us have at sometime done. I hope you ' ve enjoyed the lines I have written, ' Cause I tried my best to make them fittin ' . We ' ll soon be leaving these halls of learning. But it won ' t be long until we ' ll be yearning. For the good old days when we were carefree and gay, But we ' ll keep on going day after day. We ' ll soon be living a life of our own, But we ' ll always remember the warmness of home.

I can ' t very well write a poem about me, ' Cause I ' m not very good at poetry. So if it ' s alright with you I ' ll just leave myself out, ' Cause there ' s not very much to write about. Linda Hammerton comes along next, She ' s usually got her nose in a text. She tries to help as much as she can. She ' s always there to lend a hand. Next is a girl who is known as Ruthann, Her last name is Kampenga I understand. She doesn ' t say much, but that doesn ' t matter. I have no use for a lot of chatter. Next is Dean Kingma a boy who is known. For his dropping of tobies and breaking of toes. He ' s planning on going to college next fall. What he will be, I have no idea at all. Veronica Krucek comes next on the list, She ' s a sweet 1 8 and never been kissed. Her ambition is a mystery to me. But whatever she picks I ' m sure she ' ll succeed. Then comes sophisticated Gerald Gross, To him I shall now propose a toast. He gets along tine with the girls around. Him and his Plymouth are all over town. Next is Sam Hamstra with his quiet ways. He ' s trying his best to make straight A ' s. He ' s got a physique like Joe Bonomo, And a brand new Ford that will really go. Jock Kelly ' s o boy who likes his sports, He plays in games of all sorts. Football and basketball are the main two, But he likes to try the other ones too. Duane Knynsberg I will next unfold. He has quite a nack of drawing I ' m told. He ' s also a genius in physics and math, He ' s called the brain of the Senior class.

Class Prophecy By Dean Kingma My plane is almost due. For many months I ' ve looked forward to my World Tour. While waiting for my plane, I bought a newspaper, the New York Herald, owned and edited by Russ Duggins. As I scan the front page, I notice that Jack Kelly has set a new record in the Olympics in the Discus throwing event, for the fourth consecutive year. My plane soon arrives and in a short time I am on my way. As I look around at the other possengers, I notice two familiar-looking gentlemen. Going over to talk to them I find that they are Warren Swart and Gerald Gross, and that they are on their way to Africa. Gerald informs me that he is now a prosperous undertaker in the city of Boston and is going to Africa to learn the latest methods of embalming from the head hunters. Warren tells me that he hunts big game in Africa for a living, by supplying New York restaurants with wild African game. Warren also told me that Doreen Thornton is a hunting guide in Africa, and that she is one of the best. We chat a while longer and soon I notice that stewardess Edith Selby, another one of my classmates. She informs me that Duane Knynsberg is the pilot of this plane. The first stop that my plane makes is Paris, France. As I had a couple of hours to spend, I decided to see the city. As I was having lunch at one of Paris ' Sidewalk Cafes, who should I encounter but Ruthann Kampenga and Ruth Alma Abbring. They inform me that they are the owners and operators of the famous La Parisienne Dress Shop. Ruth Alma asked me if I had heard that Marilyn Dahm was the American Ambassador to France. In just ten short years she had proven herself a capable woman politician. After reminiscing a short while longer, I discovered that my time was slipping by and my plane for Venice would be due shortly. After an uneventful plane ride from Paris, I arrived in Venice. Hailing a Gondola, I decided to tour the city. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Bill Dyke was my singing Gondolier. He said this was his way of relaxing after a strenuous season of opera work in Rome. He also told me I ' d never guess who owned this fleet of Gondolas. I was really surprised when we pulled into Bunk ' s Boat Dock and found out that Byron Walstra was the owner. After talking awhile. Bill and Byron asked me if I would be interested in seeing the stage show The Wedding Ring starring the famous actresses Lizzy Lavern and Kathy Kuddles. After the show we went back stage and I was astounded to find that Lizzy Lavern and Kathy Kuddles were none other than Mildred Coberly and Kay Bunning, two more of my classmates. We spent a very enjoyable evening dis- cussing old times. The next morning I boarded my plane bound for Borneo. I had but a short time to stay, but I was determined to see another one of my classmates, Chuck Peterson, who I heard, was in the Raw Rubber exporting business. As my plane landed. Chuck was at the airport to greet me, having received the wire I had sent him from my last stop. During my brief visit with Chuck, he told me his efficient secretary, Linda Hammerton was on vacation at the time. After bidding him a quick good-bye, I boarded my plane once more and headed for the Hawaiian Islands. The plane trip was not at all dull, as I encountered still another of my classmates. Bob Schaefer. He was home-ward bound from a business trip to Austrolia. He told me that he wos in the shoe manufacturing business back in DeMotte and used only Australian Kangaree leather in the making of his shoes, by the brand name, Lu ' s Shoes. In the course of our conversation, I learned that Bob did his hide-buying from a kangaroo ranch in Australia, owned and operated by Pat Wyre and Veronica Krucek. He said they were doing very well in the business. As my plane landed in Hawaii, I bade Bob farewell and stepped off the plane to be greeted by Sam Hanstra and his wife, the former Marilyn Walstra, who had invited me to spend a few days with them on their pineapple planta- tion. After a few very short days with Sam and Marilyn, I was back at the airport ready to leave for the States, I boarded one of the new Super Sonic Rockets, invented by Bob Eeningburg. This was one of the many planes be- longing to Inkey ' s Airlines.
