Our school takes pride in the fact that five such out- standing men are willing to take an interest in and provide for the various extra-curricular activities. Again we say thank-you to you for granting our needs and desires. 4 MR, JULIUS SCHIPPER MR. RAYMOND LOKERS MR. RAYMOND BRUMMEL I I I Leading us throughour most enjoyable years have been our three guiding lights: Mr. Raymond Brummel, who so efficiently prepared us for our vigorious high school daysg Mr. Raymond Lokers, a newcomer to the staff, who has proved to be very helpful in innumerable instances and Mr. Julius Schipper, who so completely guided and directed the students and administration. 5 I Ida Mrs. Saunders WN Mr. Groters Our four-day trip to Washing- ton D. C., has proved how very successful Mr. Jarold Groters and Mrs. Marie Saunders have been in leading us during the past four years. Words cannot express the ap- preciation we extend to them. They have truly lighted the path- way to put each and every Senior on the road toward success. MR. CARLTON BODINE Am. Gov't.--Hist. MR. MELVIN BOUMA English--Phy. Ed. MRS. DAISY BOONSTRA English MR.

M, X As each Monday evening passed, the l955 Stepping Stone, enlightened by Mr. Gerald Smeenge and Mr. Richard Flaherty, took form. Because of many outside activities, the staff ran into many conflicts, but with the co-operation of the American Yearbook Company, the publication was finally completed. Each member of the staff has tried his best to make this book a success and hope you, as fellow class-mates,enjoy it and keep it forever as a lasting memory of your happy high school days. 48 Standing: A, Sneller, L.

For the second consecutive year the Peeper staff has been awarded a state Tuber- culosis award. The Journalism class deserves praise and congratulations on their very fine work. They have done very much to keep the school days from becoming monotonous and have done much to keep the light of Zeeland High School shining bright- ly. 49 ADVISOR ...... ..... M r.

Zeeland invaded the Cvrandville gridiron for their first 1954 pigskin clash. The game, strictly a defensive battle, saw the Chix out-scored 8-6. The Chix, with the dust of defeat in their veins,met a powerful Otsego elev- en the following week on their home turf. Zeeland romped the stripes the en- tire evening to defeat the Bulldogs 14-0. Hampered by injures,a weak Chix gridironwas invaded by a fast Bronco out- fit from Coopersville. The Bronco's proved to be too fast and tricky for the spiritless Chix. This third test was marked by a high score of Z6-13. The following week a rejuvenated Chix trampled over a meek Hudsonville squad 33-O. The game, which was Hudsonvil1e's homecoming, proved to be a moral builder for the Chix with the entire team seeing action. A huge Homecoming crowd of 3,000 sawa spirited Chix end awinning era of football for Sparta by handling them their first defeat in seventeen consecutive games. This 7-0 victory for the Chix upset Sparta from the Ken-New-WaCrown. A small Fremont homecoming crowd saw two of the Ken-New-Wa league's strongest contenders clash for final 1954 gridiron honors. With a determined Fremont eleven never letting down a constant drive defeating the Chix 8-0. The Chix crushed a spirited Comstock Park Panther drive early in the first quarter to defeat a supposedly meek rival 41-13. This gave the Chix an overall season record of 4 wins and 3 defeats. 52 IA 4 '.-mal A M., A K I I I Il 2nd Row: A. Klamt, V. Meeuwsen, E, De Jonge,I. Faber, F.
