CLASS HISTURY On September 8, 1941, 80 excited, beaming freshmen answered roll call in Zeeland High School. After a few weeks of getting ourselves accus- tomed to the regular routine we were suddenly sentenced to wear green bibs, with Baby written on them, to carry books for all upper classmen, tie shoe strings, sharpen pencils, etc., by our superiors, the class of '44. Our spirits were not broken by these assignments and we survived our initiation smiling. A few weeks later we buried all our grudges and grievances at a gym party with the Sophomores. Miss Mabel De Jonge was assigned to be our commanding officer, and with the assistance of Phil Meengs we started our high school career with a bang, September 9, 1942, we again found ourselves sounding off as roll call was taken. With the same amount of courage and enthusiasm, with our same commanding officer and a new president, Jay Van Omen, we sailed for nine more successful months. During the first few weeks of our Sophomore year, we had the pleasure of initiating the class of '46, shortly after which both classes signed a truce at a joint party. With the reputation of being one of the liveliest and snappiest classes ever to enter Zeeland High we began the duties of our third year in high school. Under the fine management and leadership of Miss De Jonge and Sherwin Walters the class had an extremely remarkable year. The first main event of the year was a magazine drive with the Senior Class. Then came our class play, Brother Goose, one of the best farces ever presented in Z.H.S. At last came the high-light of the year, the Junior and Senior Banquet. This was held in Holland at the Warm Friend in the Tulip Room. Thus ended our third year. September 9, 1944 found only 66 Seniors aboard, ready to complete our voyage. We were the dignified Seniors. It was a bit hard to believe, however we were. With anticipation and egotism we settled down to business, with jim Folkertsma and Miss De Jonge at our head. The first semester we busied ourselves by presenting our second class play, another rollicking comedy, Goodnite Ladies. We also were very busy making the necessary arrange- ments for graduation exercises. The second semester we received quite a blow, when we had to bid farewell to several of our classmates, who were called to serve in the Armed Forces of our country. We were saddened, but yet we could not help but be proud to see them answer Uncle Sam's call. Among those called was our president, Jim Folkertsma. His duties were resumed, however, by the vice-president, Ruth Roelofs and with the same amount of enthusiasm we carried on. We set about the task of publishing this thirteenth edition of the Stepping Stone, to pre- serve for ourselves the memorable events of the year, and to leave as a symbol of our school life. Before we could realize it along came: Skip Day, Senior Banquet, Class Night, Baccalaureate, and on May 31, sixty-three proud Seniors marched down the aisle for their diplomas with their heads held high. We had reached our goal. l14l IG ROGER BAAR MYRL BOES Football Reserves 1 Mixed Chorus 1 Football Varsity 2, 3, 4 Athclcric Sisters 1, 2, 3 Basketball Reserves 1, 2, 3 Girl Rcscrvcs 1, 2, 3, 4 Band 1 .

FRESHME The Goodship '48 has embarked upon a long, arduous journey on the academic sea of life. With sails widely spread, filled with enthusiasm, cooperation, sportsmanship, talent, and school spirit the journey promises to be one of success and profit. Ship ahoy! cried Captain Meeusen. Tis the 'Clipper '47' at the starboard. The first battle ensued. Lips became redg faces were smearedg ankles, wrists, and necks were shackled with green chainsg native skirts were flung about their loinsg beautiful tresses were twisted into rings. Such was the battle of initiation. For several weeks the battle raged -- but not forever. A truce of fellowship and loyalty to their Alma Mater was signed and sealed in the presence of the Zeeland High Fleet. The first storm had been weathered and the Goodship '48 now sails along serenely and calmly. The officers are: ..,....,Don Meeusen .....Ivan Compagner President .............. Vice President .....

BAN One of the most popular shipboard entertainments on our voyage has been the music rendered by the Zeeland High School Band. This well-balanced organization is composed of 50 instrumentalists and with the untiring efforts of Mr. Geerdes has attained an honored posi- tion in both school and community. The band added color to school life this year in its performances at football games, concerts, bond rallies, parades, and school programs. To- ward the end of the year, the band attended the District Festival in Grand Rapids. A selected group of players won honors in the solo and ensemble contest held in Muskegon. During the summer the band was awarded a citation for the active part it played in the promotion of the war effort. lt has lived up to this award by participating in the war loan drives and patriotic rallies. Those in the band have gained a better knowledge and appreciation of classical music through the interpretation of their talented director, Mr. Harold P. Geerdes.

It is composed of High School students and younger pupils from the grades, who have proved themselves talented and interested in orchestral music. Although this organization is a new one it has displayed its musical ability at concerts and commencement exercises. The Orchestra won high honors for the school by receiving a first rating in the Orchestral Contest held at Grand Rapids. Much credit is due to Mr. Geerdes who, in the past three years, has strived to develop a well-balanced orchestra of Hne musicians.

THE MAD HATTER Toward the end of the voyage the Juniors, after both rough and smooth sailing, successfully presented their class play, The Mad Hattersf' Due to the combined efforts of the sponsor, Miss McCarty, the members of the class, the play cast, and the director, Miss Openlander, the production was shipshape in every way. The Hatter family, who for years had been supported by Grandma Hatter, receive a severe shock one day when she suddenly decides to stop their allowance. It would be resumed only when they proved themselves capable of earning their own living. Not having earned a penny in their lives, they unanimously agree to commercialize their hobbies and show Grandma Hatter a thing or two. At the end of three months, all have failed except Joe who solves all their problems in a very unexpected nlaflflef. Gigi Hatter ...,. Angelica .....,..... Bunny Hatter ......

HGOGD IGHT LADIE All hands on deck - and the ensigns took their places as the curtain rose on the unforgettable comedy Good Night Ladies, a play long to be remembered. An enthusiastic cast had been selected at the beginning of the year and practice was begun immediately. With Mrs. Cook, a very capable director, at the helm, the play was bound for a successful destination. The interests and efforts of the class, director, and sponsor, were well rewarded when the play was given before a filled auditorium each night. Good Night Ladies is a fast moving comedy centering around thc Raleigh children, who, from lack of funds decide to turn their home into a girls dormitory. Complications set in when the two maiden aunts, who are to supervise the dormitory, are delayed and finally Sam and jug are per- suaded to don old clothes and take their places until the aunts arrive. There's- plenty of excitement when Dean Eggleby has her personal chats with the aunts about certain things and Professor Dexter, a friend of the family, proposes to Aunt Flora. Everything ends happily, however, when Professor Dexter becomes president of Grayson College and saves the dormitory. CAST Jane Raleigh ......... .............. ...,.....,.....

An extensive program was carried out this year which included declama- tion, dramatic declamation, oratory, and extem- pore speaking contests. The declamation contest is open to Freshmen and Sophomores who select an appropriate speech and redeliver it. A dramatic declamation is a dramatic reading which may be interpreted by any student in school who wishes to enter the contest. Juniors and Seniors are eligible for the oratorical contest for which the participating speakers write their own oration. The last contest held was that of extempore speaking. Each con- testant drew a subject and was given a limited time to prepare his speech. The winners and runners up are: .......Ioyce Mast Gordon De Pree Declamations .......

Returning were eight regulars from the previous year along with a handful of other letter winners. Coach Taylor drilled these men for three weeks and had them in good shape for the long schedule. On September 22, a heavy Otsego team came to Zeeland with blood in their eyes. The game see-sawed back and forth but finally an Otsego man. broke into the clear and they eked out a 7-O victory. Our men were in a fighting mood when they played Godwin Heights under the arcs on their gridiron. The first half almost proved disastrous but our powerful line held many times on the goal line. In the third quarter Lousma skirted his right end for 25 yards and was thrown out of bounds on the ten. On the next play Chamberlain took it across and we won 6-O. Our next battle was at Wyoming Park, and with Lit Zuverink, Vern Lokers, and Roge Baar scoring we overwhelmed them 26-O. Again our line was invulnerable. We were a little dubious about our next rival, North Muskegon, a new team on our schedule. With Lit scoring twice and Lokers once we beat them in a thriller, 20-7. Line plunges and long passes were the feature of this game. On October 18, the Chix were upset by a fighting, hard charging Plainwell eleven 10-6. The first quarter saw Plainwell crash across but l46fl we fought back with Taylor snaring a pass in the end-zone just before the half and they led 7-6. We missed several opportunities to score in the final half while they scored on a field-goal. Zeeland took a trouncing at the hands of Coopersville on October 27. The first quarter was played on even terms but suddenly Coopers- ville broke into a scoring fever. In this game several of the Chix were carried off the field. Though out-weighed, the boys from Z.H.S. put in a gallant fight but lost 32-O. In a night home game played at Riverview Park in Holland we saw a fast and scrappy Alle- gan gird team out-score us 7-0. The game was a stale-mate most of the way with most of the play- ing done at mid-field. On Armistice Day a powerful Sparta team had a terrific scare as Zeeland almost upset them. The Chix produced a strong aerial offensive and passed the Spartans dizzy. But the breaks were with Sparta and they won 14-6. Thus ended another thrill-packed season for Z.H.S. Coach Taylor deserves much credit for turning out another strong Chick eleven, and for instilling a strong school spirit in the student body. Coach and his green s SCHEDULE Z.H.S.

FCGTBALL RE ERVE Last fall, Coach joe Newell received his discharge from the Navy and came back to Zeeland. He immediately took over the Reserve Football Squad. This squad was made up entirely of inexperienced men, most of whom were Freshmen. Coach Newell got to work with this team and soon developed a fast and hard-hitting team with a strong offense along with a steadfast de- fense and although these boys won only one of the games of this: excep- tionally tough schedule we are proud of them and are sure they will be very good material for the teams in the years to come.

Prospects for a successful season looked good as six lettermen, Wilb Kraak, jay Van Omen, Austy Chamberlain, Phil Meengs, Juke Johnson, and Vern Lokers were returning. Bolstering them were several reserves brought up to the varsity. The season opened at Grand Haven and after a close three quarters the Chix lost to the Bucs 37-25. The first home game saw Zeeland get revenge as they mauled Coopersville 43-7. The following week there were two games as the Chix travelled to Fennville and downed a hard-Hghting Blackhawk five 52-31. The locals returned home to overwhelm a highly-touted Wyoming Park quint 47-24. Zeeland then took on Allegan in its first O-A conference encounter. The brown-and-gold clad five won handily over the Tigers 42-21. After resting over the holidays the Chix travelled to our neighboring city to play our old rivals, Holland Christian. After trailing the first half the Chix spurted and walked off with a well-deserved 26-18 triumph. The next game was with Otsego and the locals promptly drubbed them 53-27. Next came Plainwell and they were severely jolted 48-21. In a grudge battle at Allegan the Chick cagers downed the Tigers again 36-20 and came home to thump Plainwell for the second time. Fennville's hopes for victory were dashed against the rocks as they i491 were soundly whipped 42-20. The Chix had a scare at Otsego but came through for their eleventh consecutive victory 31-21. Next carne the Ottawa-Allegan League tournaments at Allegan and Otsego was drawn for the first game. Zeeland was on the ball again as they steam-rollered to victory 41-11. Our foe for the championship was Allegan and in a hard-fought contest we licked them 35-21. The final game of the regular season was against Holland Christian. Z.H.S. was behind the first quarter but took the lead at half-time 7-5. Had it not been for a slippery floor, the game might have been a high-scoring affair. But we were content to gain a 19-15 victory. Zeeland entered the Allegan district tourn- ament and drew Plainwell the first night. The tall and high-scoring Chix rolled to an easy 32-13 win over the hapless Plainwell five. We played Otsego again on the follow- ing night and trounced them 35-21.

The Chix entered the Regionals at Grand Rapids with high hopes. Rockford was our first assignment and they were routed 49-26 as we coasted to an easy victory. We next played Mont- ague, who had knocked us out of the tournament the previous year. But it was a different story this year as the Chix hammered out a decisive 30-14 win. Grand Rapids Lee was the regional finalist with Zeeland and in a scoring duel the Chix came out on the long end 43-33 for their twentieth straight victory. The State Quarter-Finals were played in Kala- bazoo and Kalamazoo St. Augustine was our next foe. In a heart-breaker for the locals we lost 30-24. Thus ended a most successful season by what many people think was the best basketball team ever turned out in Zeeland. The Chix ended with a record of twenty victories and two defeats.

BASKETB LL RESERVES Under the guiding hand of Coach Taylor the reserves completed another fine season. Their fighting spirit and dogged determination won them the Ottawa-Allegan League Reserve Championship. After a rather slow start which saw them lose several hair-raisers, the reserves found themselves and wound up the season in a flash of brilliance. With a year's experience under their belts, these boys will round out the varsity squad of next year. They finished with a record of six wins and nine losses. SCHEDULE Z.H.S.

The boys were anxiously beginning a heavy eight game schedule. Coach Taylor held hopes high for this- team with a number of letter men back from last year who had shown considerable talent. And then as the end of the season draws near, the team reluctently lay down their gloves and are proud and happy of the honor they have brought to the good old brown and gold. And thus ends a successful sea- son of baseball and fine coaching by Sam Taylor. SCHEDULE Date Opponent Place April 13 ........ ....... P lainwell ....... ........ H ere April 20 ........ ...,...

About seven years ago it was inaugerated as a minor sport and as the years went by its popularity has greatly increased. Coach Newell took over the track team again with all but a few of last years team and the expectations were very high as they began a big and extremely tought schedule. In the schedule they had the trapk meets and tournaments and they also had contests with various outside schools, and with a lot of hard practicing and fine coaching a very fine and vic- torious season was enjoyed.
