CLASS PROPHECY It is now the year 1969, 10 years since the marvelous class of 59 graduated. Let us look at their accomplishments. Professional Artists are in a mad turmoil seeking two well-known artists, Glen Kooy and Madam Ellen Musch. Their paintings are hung in the Museum of Well-Known Criminals. The Professional Artists decided that since they couldn ' t find the well-known Artists, they would hang their paintings. Ronnie Sipkema and Jerry Oezer have recently opened a new restaurant called Sip and Suds on Wall Street, New York. Two well-known politicians, Mr. Alfred Hitchkock (alias Alvin Fase), and Mr. John Dillenger (alias Howard Crawford) request your presence at their annual spaghetti supper, which will be made of Sponge Meatballs and String Spaghetti. Two professional models, Jackie Van Wienen and Janice Klemp are modeling sack bathing suits. They ' re working at the Star Model Agency in Hollywood, California. The Ricefield Brown Devils (coached by Judy De Young) were edged by the De Motte Indians no to 60. Coach Edward De Vries gave his De Motte Indians a thorough chewing because of the miserable showing of his boys. Looking over the gossip column, I noticed Eleanor Hamstra, Pat Hielema, and Margaret Toppen are going to Florida over the winter. They commented that they were looking for BIG GAME. After working at Misch ' s Department Store in De Motte for 10 years, Angeline Walstra and Sandra Vander Molen have decided to go to Northwestern College for their M.R.S. Degree. In Congress, Linda Nannenga (R.Ind.) and Marian Groet (D.Ind.) are trying to get a new bill passed. This bill would eliminate Communists, 35 years or younger, from becoming President. Mr. and Mrs. James Smith (the former Donna Marsh) are planning a safari to Africa. They plan to capture a full-grown Hippopotamus for their Rooksfield Zoo. Miss Patricia Eenigenburg has a two-page spread in the Keen Keener. Since she took over the Eenigenburg Produce Store in De Motte in I 959 the store has slowly gone backwards for some unknown reason. Bult ' s Turkey farm, which was founded in 1959, have announced that they plan to take a nine -month tour of Russia. Professor Stanley Stayrook of Xavier University has announced that the formula L explains why the earth turns on its axis. ■ - i- ?■ !). itfyX iSyC. J By John Fieldhouse and Sandra Van Meerten

CLASS HISTORY WE BUILD THE LADDER BY WHICH WE RISE We started the journey up our ladder twelve years ago. There were thirty-five of us as we slowly began our upward journey in 1947. Our first grade teacher was Mrs. Ewart. Each day through the next six consecutive years we gained knowledge and information to continue our journey. The next two years were spent in junior high in preparation for our major step which consisted of four years of high school. Thirty -nine of us entered our Freshman year. To lead us we chose; Marian Groet as President; Angeline Walstra, Vice President; Robert Albin, Secretary; Eleanor Hamstra, Treasurer. To represent us in the Student Council we elected Pat Myers and Carroll De Vries. Our sponsor was Mr. Schreffler. In the fall we had a skating party and wiener roast.
