E E IN MEMORIAM On March 27, IQ24, the cause of Christian education in our country, and es- pecially the cause of the Chicago Christian High School, lost a strong supporter in the death of Mr. james De Boer. Yes, Mr. De Boer was a faithful supporter of the high school. But he was more than that: he was her leader, her captain. Being first in laboring for the cause of Christian secondary education in these parts, he has been first in the organization which has supported the school these past six years. And no cause had a stronger advocate, no organization, a more able president. Mr. De Boer was a man of indomitable courage in difficultyw, a man who had a habit of facing life with breast forward . He was a plain man, one who performed his task without display, one who served our institution without Elt- tracting attention to himself. VVC as a school owe much to hir. De Boer. But though we cannot pay the debt we owe, we can with the help of God be true to the principles which motivated the self-sacrificing services which he rendered in behalf of our institution. As a school we would make the following statements of Mr. De Boer our own: The prayer: 'Not my will but THINE, be donel' or 'VVhat wilt thou have me to do'?' must be the foundation-stone upon which all of our life is built. The conviction must be deeply rooted in our soul that our work has been not to please our- selves-rather to deny ourselves-but to please our King, whose we are, whom we serve. So that the question for us is not: 'How much pleasure is in it for me?' but 'Am I faithful?' 'Do l perform my duty?m And graduates of the Chicago Christian High School, we would pledge to live out an affirmative answer to the following questions penned by Mr. De Boer himself: L'Shall we, his soldiers, fight? Shall we fight for His dominion also in our educational institutions? Shall we fight for that, re- gardless of obstacles, and are we willing ourselves to perish in that fight? For the dominion of the King? N.B.-The above quotation has been taken from an address which was written by NIr.James De Boer and read at a meeting shortly before his death 4 E JE - gf? 'I-33-2.3.

B ufinexy 'I 9 I o- +-- -4 SPRING TIME OF LIFE Of all the seasons of the year, Spring is the most beautiful and cheerful. The mild air which comes stealing from the West breathes the breath of life into nature, causing every bud and flower to burst out into fragrance and beauty. It is the time when the birds come and enjoy the balmy and inspiring spring weather. The lovers of nature enjoy their melodious songs and graceful manners, changing many a sorrowful heart into a happy one. The silvery rays of the warm sun are as rays of joy and love shining into the souls of men, healing the broken hearted and comforting the distressed. The season of spring has derived its name from the fact that every living thing springs up, and flora and fauna develop their most inspiring forms. There is also a spring time in man's life. It is from the time when his reason- ing powers awaken, until he enters upon his vocation, or let me express it in another way: The Golden Age of School Time. Thus we may say that the school age is the beautiful and inspiring spring time of life. At what time is ambition and interest shown forth more vividly than at school age? The world is startled at the ambitious attempts of hopeful youth. It is, also, the age when innocence exerts its power over all the evils about it, when it knows of no sorrow or weari- ness, but is cheered and charmed by the joys and beauties of life. It is the age when all sorts of ideas strike root, spring up and flourish. All of life depends upon the spring. If seed is planted in poor soil, and lacks proper sun light, the outcome will be a total failure. But if, on the contrary, seed is sown in rich soil, and where the sun sends forth its bright rays of light, the result will be good-the harvest will be abundant. It is very notable that the fruits of a plant depend upon the condition in which it grows. The fruits shall be determined by the quality of these conditions. Like- wise, if we as the seed of God's vineyard are planted in an educational realm where the atmosphere is filthy and vulgar, and where no true light exists, the results will be correspondingly poor. But if we are planted in an educational institution where the fundamentals are rich and sound, and in an environment which is lofty and wholesome, we, with G0d's blessing ,will grow up as strong, healthy plants in the vineyard of our Lord, free from the overpowering influences of the weeds of this world, supplied with the ability to oppose them. From this fact it is also obvious that our moral life' depends upon our early environment. For instance, if a child is sent to an institution where no Christian ideas are taught and the instruction is shot through with modernism, the child will be caught up in the spirit of these ideas. But if the child is educated in a Christian institution where the spirit of Christianity pervades the atmosphere, the child will be taken up into its bosom and will be actuated by motives corre- spondingly Christian. True, the spring time of life is the most important period in life. As one asks the question, What is life without spring? He cries out, Oh, nature! What a blessing spring is to us! And, further contemplating upon the importance the spring time of life, one cries out: Oh, God! What a joy that we may have an institution in which we may spend the spring of our life, where the funda- mentals of morals and Christian living are imparted as the prelude to a glorious future. ' And one concludes: He who plants a tree, Plants a hope, Rootlets up through fibers blindly grope, Leaves unfold unto horizon free: So man's life must climb From the clods of time Unto heavens sublimef' JACK ZANDSTRA gl 10 W rg o--- ---Q 2-fr o-- --QW El 3 .I 'LW T Success Xwlffffp L N X Y 4+ A t ff 11, 1 1 f K 3 f Af A 5 I W I L?

You ask for a parting message with which to remember your principal? Here is it: As you leave your school moorings, as you launch upon the sea of life-whether you are to encounter the storms of life's difhculties or to bask in the sunshine of life's comforts-may the reproachful words of Isaiah f47ZIOD never be applicable to any of you: Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. On the contrary, be true to the Christian teaching which you have received in the home, which has been confirmed in the elementary school, and which has been broadened and deepened in the Chicago Christian High School.-The gist of which is expressed in the well-known texts of Romans: None of us liveth to himself For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. These truths have been imparted to you, may your life impart them to others. M. FAKKEMA DEAR FRIENDS: You, as graduates, have completed your high school career and are now to pursue various activities in a new realm. With you, I also am leaving the portals of the C. C. H. S. and as I look back upon the years past when we have pioneered together to make our school a success, the words of one of our authors comes as a consolation: I've comforted here and I've succored there, I've faced my foes, and I've backed my friends I've blundered, and sometimes made amends, I have prayed for light, and I've known despair. Now I look before, as I look behind, Come storm, come shine, whatever befall, With a grateful heart and a constant mind. For I am ready, new tasks to begin. May God's richest blessings be your portion in whatever course in life you may follow. We earnestly hope that our mutual fellowship and constancy of purpose may be of value in later life. Strive to do what is right. Sincerely, C. SMITTER E -1 13 I- W E5 Let me do my work from day to day In field or forest, at the desk, or loom, In roaring market-place, or tranquil room, Let me but find it in my heart to say VVhen vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my work, my blessing, not my doom, Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done, in the right way, Then shall I see it not too great, nor small, To suit my spirit and to prove my, power, Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall At eventide, to play and love and rest, Because I know for me my work is best. Henry Van Dyke ADRIANA G. HAMMEKOOL DEAR FRIENDS: lVIuch as I would, I cannot phrase, either in poetry, or in prose, the hopes I entertain for you, as well as did our beloved Longfellow in The Builders from which I make bold to extract these few stanzas: a Iu the elder days of Art Builders wrought with greatest care Iiach minute and unseen part, For the gods see everywhere. Let us do our work so well, Both the unseen and the seen, Nlake the house, where God may dwell Beautiful, entire, and cleani Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base, And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. Sincerely, J. W. SIETSEMA 14 There is, I believe, innate in the soul of every human being a secret longing to be successful. And the strength and persistence of this longing is the spur that drives each one in the race of life. But what is success? It seems to me that success comes from a true sense of the values of things. It is characterized by an indomitable, conquering spirit, which never quits even in the face of ap- parently insurmountable difiiculties, that same spirit of which Browning sings: Then, welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the straing Learn, nor account the pang, dare, never grudge the throe! For thence,-a paradox VVhich comforts while it mocks.- Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail: 'What I aspired to be, And was not, comforts me: A brute I might have been, but I would not sink in the scale. This book is dedicated to a successful man, Mr. James De Boer. To be said to have been successful, in the true meaning of success, is one of the greatest tributes that can be given to a man. Henry Van Dyke sums up the whole matter in just a few lines of verse, which I desire to quote: Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly, To love his fellow man sincerely, To act from honest motives purelyg To trust in God and Heaven securelyf, HENRY D. HOLKEBOER +- -oz19- -o Q-7-we Q E:-c +-- --4 ,J- To THE CLASS or '24: Perhaps it was its very simplicity, perhaps it was the few letters printed in bright red, which here and there had found a place among its letters of sabre hue, perhaps it was the fact that my mother was wont to gaze at and meditate upon it as it hung on the wall in a frame that was already crumbling,-perhaps it was the pleading of the poem itself that first impressed me. Whatever its first charm may have been, the little poem has now completely captivated me, and often I have been able to forget that I bore the burden in accordance with its prescription. Thus I would like to pass it on. The path of you graduates will not always be rosy. You will meet with little trials and vexations as you go along. And yet you need not despair for you can leave your load of care right at the feet of OUR BURDEN BEARER The little sharp vexations And the briars that catch and fret, Why not take all to the Helper Who has never failed us yet? Tell Him about the heartache, And tell him the longings, too, Tell Him the baffled purpose VVhen we scarce know what to do. Then leaving all our weakness VVith the one divinely strong, Forget that we bore the burden, And carry away the song. -PHILLIPS BROOKS. HENRY A. SWETS. EPILOGUE TO ASOLANDO One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake. No, at noonday in the bustle of man's worktime Greet the unseen with a cheer! Bid him forward, breast and back as either should be, Strive and thrive! cry Speed! Fight on, fare ever There as here! As you go forth from the halls of this institution, may you return often to the great field of literature not only for a respite from the struggles of life, but also for the purpose of unshackling yourselves from the bonds of prejudice and tradition and keeping your minds unclouded and free from the repressive forces that bind the powers of inner compulsion.

The class of February was very small consisting of three members, Alice Van Hattem, Bernard Hamstra, and Jennie Ball, so it was combined with our class. Alice has already graduated in February. Our class spent its first year in the building on the corner of 72nd and Loomis Streets. During the second year, we moved to our present location and our class was increased by the enrollment of Anna and Etta Bultema. But by this time, our class was no longer as large as it had been, it gradually dwindled to a very small class and at the close of the third year the following were left, who hope to graduate in June: Jennie Ball, Anna Bultema, Etta Bultcma, Ben De Boer, Bernard Hamstra, Henry Hoeksema, Henrietta Kramer, John Ter Maat, and jacob Van Bruggen. Looking beyond June we see some of our fellow students entering college, some going into the great business world, and some entering the teachers' pro- fession. We hope that in whatever vocation we may find them, they will be true to their motto, Let Deeds Proven. ETTA BULTEMA, Class Historian. 24 QI IE CLASS PROPHECY OF THE GENERALS . It was in the Spring of I934 when I finally persuaded Mrs. Dearquest Cformerly Jennie Ballj to leave her husband for a few months and accompany me on a trip to Europe. She suggested that we sail to Africa and take a glimpse at the Sahara, then travel through Europe according to my plans. So, three weeks later, after a most delightful voyage, we landed at Morocco, where without much trouble, we found a suitable hotel. After resting a few hours, we hired a pair of camels and rode slowly along the desert plain. Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted by a jerk from my camel which set me very graciously upon the hot sand. Upon investigation, we found that the camel's ankle was sprained. The sun was setting, warning us to return, when suddenly a camel came into sight, to our great relief. Its rider, perceiving that we were in trouble, came to our aid. Fortunately, he was a veterinarian and soon enabled the animal to travel quite smoothly. It was now dusk, and as we returned to the hotel, our slow journey was made pleasant by the humor of our new friend. The fluency with which he spoke English surprised us. I also noticed something strangely familiar in his voice which prompted me to ask his name. To our great astonishment he replied, John Ter Maat . He was equally taken aback at the revelation of our identity. During the many chats in the days that followed, we learned that John had grown tired of city life and that he had come to the desert to enjoy peace and to increase his wisdom by the study of astronomy. Much as we would have liked to remain here a while with John as our host, a week was almost spent and we must travel on. Two days later, we found ourselves on a prettystreet in Paris. As we had decided to inquire for a good hotel instead of searching for one, I used my unpolished French to address a fashionable lady. She very kindly accompanied us to the hotel at which she was staying, informing us that her errand had been to study fashions and make purchases for her little shop in Detroit, while her sister took up foreign languages for these few weeks. They were to return the following week. As I gave my name at the registering ofhce, our companion gasped. Upon recovering her breath, she exclaimed, Why-I'm Etta Bultema . It was our turn to be amazed. An excited conversation ensued and before we realized it, six o'clock had come. Anna appeared at 6:15 and a most enjoyable Evening followed. Jennie and I altered our plans and decided to return home with the Bultema rsters . About a week after this, we boarded the Rotterdam. It was noon and as we entered the dining room, we received a passenger list. Almost instantly, Anna pointed excitedly to the first page where we read Captain Jack Van Bruggen . It can't be Jack-it must be another Van Bruggen, we argued. But just then, many of our fellow-passengers rose and bowed respectfully as a distinguished looking gentleman in uniform smilingly passed through the room. We all knew him to be the captain. It is Jack, remarked Jennie. In spite of our repeated efforts to visit Captain Van Bruggen, we reached New York before having the opportunity. We left the steamer, feeling quite sad, and after our luggage had been examined, we took a taxi to the Woodstock Hotel. As we were about to enter, a beautiful blue Nash drove up before the building. An aristocratic young man emerged and followed us into the hotel. We heard him addressed as Mr. Hamstra, and the familiarity of that name made us feel quite Hustered. Curiosity got the best of us and while registering, Etta asked if a Mr. Hamstra was an inmate of the hotel. The answer was, Mr. Bernard Hamstra owns this hotel. Our exclamations brought an amused smile to the clerk's lips and he promised to arrange an interview between the millionaire and our- selves. Thru the clerk, we were invited to Mr. Hamstra's residence the following afternoon. Accepting the invitation, we arrived quite early and were welcomed to the marvelous dwelling by Bernie himself. As it was a lovely day, we decided to spend a few hours outdoors. Then Bernie began his story-how Droste's Cocoa and Frow-Frow were the cause of his wealth-how he had remained unmarried and lived with his father and mother instead. When we discussed our absent classmates, Bernie told of a letter he had recently received from Henry Hoeksema, who had become president of the University of Chicago. This welcome news did not surprise us greatly, as we had always expected Henry to be one of the world's best men. We learned also that Henrietta Kramer had taught at the University of Chicago for three years and had now married a famous minister, pastor in Portland, Oregon. We soon left Mr. Hamstra to continue his luxurious life of good work, and left for our respective homes. When I arrived at Chicago, alone, I received a hearty welcome. I soon learned that the new C. C. H. S. building had been completed, and it was the pride of the city, perfect in every detail. How could it be otherwise when Mr. Ben De Boer had been its architect? The student body, consisting of 8oo, with a staff of forty teachers, were to occupy the new building within the next two weeks. They would then resume their work, free from the hindrances which formerly had retarded their progress. Aucs VAN HATTEM. 25 Q .. . E VIOLET AND MAIZE This combination of colors may suggest very little if anything to most of you here present, but to the student body of the Chicago Christian High School it has acquired an added meaning, a deeper implication than a mere association of colors. You probably think green should be included? Probably, but the only vision we graduates have of green is a very dim one, of Freshman reception night of 1920. You say red? We're progressive, but even if we were located in VVisconsin we would not include red. These colors, through the meaning which has attached itself to them, determine our attitude toward life which in a great measure is formed at this stage of our lives. There are great forces operating in this modern life toward which, though unconsciously, we form our attitudes. The American nation during the last few decades has made tremendous in- tellectual advances. Universities, colleges, and high schools are filled to capacity. Full courses of a highly specialized nature are offered everywhere. All knowledge and thought are being made sciences, are taught scientifically, and made practical use of in the same manner. Fire prevention courses, natural resource conservation, home economics, and many other courses are offered. Social and political sciences are stressed in universities today. All these evidences point to the intellectual advances of modern life. Sad to say, the moral advance- ment has failed to keep pace with the intellectual. A murderer may kill someone with a knife, While the surgeon aids in the saving of life and with divine help restores from apparent death to life. Both could handle the knife, but what strikingly different uses each one made of it. The intellectual faculties were brought to play in both these actions, yet the moral purpose of the latter was entirely lacking in the former. Again, what do we see about us every day? Wonderfully educated men, potentially the most useful men of the country, selling their prestige, sense of honor, and morals for a mess of pottage. It is not generally the uneducated man who most frequently transgresses the law, but the educated rogue who lacks moral stamina. Idealism in the business man has largely been replaced by an intense realism and utilitarianism. The status of present day morality is far below that of the intellectual life and the uneven advance of both causes the lawlessness and general discontent which is so prevalent today. Widespread wretchedness and wickedness have caused man to realize that only divine aid can bring him to normalcy. Men have turned to art to find some- thing which they haven't found as yet. Men work feverishly thinking that in toil they can find that mysterious something, they have traveled, have studied, have searched for ancient treasures, have done everything to find God. Toward these forces, intellectual advance, moral inertia, and seeking after God, the Chicago Christian High School graduate should have determined at- titudes. You simply must avail yourself of the opportunities offered you, what- ever line you are particularly interested in, and do not restrict your field. Most of the sciences are in their,infancy and only a systematic study will keep one abreast of the scientific times in this country. The political field offers oppor- tunities, in the community, in the city, in the nation. Enter into this field, it is your patriotic duty. Spend your leisure hours in the company of good books, keep your senses alert to see and hear things, get acquainted with the great men of all times. Today men demand that they be shown by example of conduct, and this does more good than incessant teaching and preaching. Prove the efficacy of sound morality in your own life and the exigency of clean, high living will force itself upon the minds of others. Politics today needs men of good sound morality. The voting populace de- spairs of the graft and crime which crop out in political deals as they are called. 26 Qi.. ..-.Q 2.3 QT. V It is the duty of the Chicago Christian High School graduate to help keep the moral status of the country at a par with the intellectual. Those that seek God shall surely find Him is the promise. A wholesome, religious view of life offers the only respite from the heated life of today. And now that we graduates are about to enter upon the complexities of life, we desire to express our sentiments toward them. We cannot but confess a twinge of sorrow when we leave the Chicago Christian High School, with its life of work and play. Yet we hope to keep in touch with it from time to time. It is our earnest hope that the Chicago Christian High School may continue to be a bulwark of good sound Christian morality in this city. HENRY HoExsEMA. TEACHERS, PARENTS, RELATrvEs, FRIENDS! As president of the combined Commercial and General class of 1924, I have the great opportunity and honor to speak a few words to you this evening. This honor that is bestowed on me is indeed a great honor as this class has worked and studied under the guidance of our school's largest faculty, now num- bering seven. We have had the advantage of seeing our school grow from a number of approximately fifty students, who came from all parts of the city and suburbs, to its present large number, reaching almost 120. This graduating class, in whose honor you have gathered here this evening, is the product of the untiring and ever-faithful faculty who through our whole school course have been a shining light in our path, and have always taught us that The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge . To this faculty we are indebted to a large extent for help and advice in the completion of the hard tasks which have come up during our school days. From two to four years most of us have been with our school. We have all taken part in the good times at our C. C. H. S., but have also had to fight for this institution through thick and thin. The great advantages, however, out- weighed our disadvantages. No doubt we wish that these good times would return, but they are gone forever. Commencement is now at hand, and we must struggle with it. While treading along the various pathways of commercial life, let us not forget the valuable lessons which we have learned at the C. C. H. S. Let us ever be true to our class motto, Let deeds proven. While in school we have been taught how to face the world, now we shall have the opportunity to face it. Let us profit from the experiences offered by our instructors so that we may be true to our school and also true to our God. During our religious careers we shall also have ample opportunity to look back upon the profitable discussions which took place in our school. As we hope to be better business men and better citizens on account of our training at the C. C. H. S., we also hope to be better workers in God's Kingdom. So far we have all traveled along the same road. Tonight our pathway diverges. VVe shall each have to travel our own way. Sad as this parting may be, a ray of joy appears when we realize that we shall be accompanied with the happy memories of the days spent at the C. C. H. S. and the many friendships that have been formed there. And now, friend graduates, my most earnest desire is, that whatever you may undertake to do you will always uphold our class motto, Let deeds prove , and, with this in mind, I hope success will attend your way.

At first we were a little difiident, but this shyness did not remain with us, for before the first day was over we had become acquainted with the students, and felt at home in our new surroundings. When our school year commenced in September, I922, our commercial class consisted of the following twenty members: ' HELEN BROUWER IDA KINGMA MARGARET BUIKEMA CHRISTINE KRANIER CORNELIA BULTHUIS JERRY COSTELYK FLORENCE COOK ANNA MULLER JOHN DE VRIES HARRY OOSTING RICHARD DE VRIES JOHN PELON CHRISTINE DRYFHOUT HENRY POSTEMA THEODORE Du BoIs SADIE TAMMELING GERTRUDE JOUSMA HILDA STERENBERG ANNA KARSEN DENA WOLDT A reception on the freshmen Was given shortly after our school year had com- menced. It was with deep regret that we saw the following students drop out of our class. It was not for lack of interest that they left, but various circumstances caused these changes. JOHN DE VRIES JOHN PELON JERRY COSTELYK SADIE TAMMELING THEODORE DU Bois DENA WOLDT Helen Brouwer who decided to change her course of study, dropped out of our class to take up the General course. The remaining thirteen are striving to finish their school career, after which they hope to enter the business World, where they may apply the principles of Commercial Education and we are sure they will be successful. That he might continue his studies at the University of Chicago, Mr. Bossen- broek left our school in June, I923, and Mr. De, Boer and Mr. H. Swets were added to the faculty in September, IQ23. Our instructors in general subjects were: Mr. Fakkema, Mr. Sietsema, Mr. Swets, Mr. Holkeboer and Miss Hammekool. Our major subjects were Bookkeeping, Shorthand, and Typewriting, taught by Mr. Smitter, our commercial instructor. We wish to thank our teachers for their instruction, and in this statement we must not forget our ever-faithful custodian, Mr. Dykema. We, who expect to graduate, realize that the C. C. H. S. is our school and we are never going to forget herg and we trust that our class will not be forgotten. We realize what it will mean to the remaining commercials to complete their technical commercial branches Without one who has started them on their courses and who has always taken their interest at heart. For the sake of our C. C. H. S., we are sorry to see Mr. Smitter leave our institution. ANNA KARSEN. 33 5 lg CLASS PROPHECY OF THE CGMMERCIALS My duties as secretary for the sales manager of one of the large advertising concerns took me to an eastern city where they were to open a new place and thus severed me from my old classmates in Chicago. I had been gone for nearly eight years when I was given a leave of absence for my faithful services and decided immediately that I would spend this vacation in Chicago and look up my old friends. As I stepped off the train at the Grand Central station, a familiar voice called, Well, there is Christina Kramer, and I was surprised to see Gertrude Jousma who came to the station to meet a gentle- man friend who was to spend his summer vacation at her home. She was very much surprised to see me and said that she was now employed as head bookkeeper for one of the large manufacturing concerns and said that I should go with her and meet two of our old classmates. I, therefore, checked my baggage at the stationg and, after we had properly informed Gertrude's friend how to find home, we had a little lunch and then went to the office. After we had been back from lunch for a time, in walked two pros- perous young men, brief cases in hand, whom I immediately recognized as Harry Oosting and Richard Je Vries. We were certainly glad to meet each other and Harry handed me one of his cards which read as follows: De Vries and Oosting, Public Accountants, Audits and Systems our Specialty. They were installing a new system at this place. It was no surprise to me that they were in this profession, for you know how Richard and Harry used to devour bookkeeping and accounting. While Gertrude was making up her deposit for the day, I had a little chat with the boys after which Gertrude and I left. She didn't state where we were going, but we walked to the banking district on La Salle Street and Gertrude said, I would like you to meet the cashier of the bank . What a surprise it was to see that little fellow back of the counter, with a name plate on the counter marked, Henry Postema, Cashier. How good it seemed to see all of these old friends in such well established positions. When I returned from the bank, I remarked to Gertrude that her ofiice force seemed quite efficient: that every one kept working, and she said, Why shouldn't they be when they are the products of two of our old classmates? I looked at her somewhat surprised and said, just what do you mean? She remarked, Why, didn't you know that Florence Cook and Anna Karsen are running a business college? I'll see if I may have permission to leave this afternoon and take you around. This favor was granted, and we went to see these old friends. There, in the heart of the big furnishing houses, on the fifteenth floor of a massive skyscraper, we read these words: Cook and Karsen Commercial Institute . We did not think that they would do it but when we recalled the old commercial classes of the Chicago Christian High School, we realized that they were looking for some easy work, for they used to kid their teachers about being an instructor in Commercial branches, for it was a soft job . When I re- minded them of this, they laughed heartily and said, We know better now . They were talking about branching out somewhat and were considering opening a musical department. They said that they had employed Margaret Buikema to teach piano. How nicely this tits in. fDo you remember how interested Margaret was in her piano lessons, when she was to meet a 2:45 appointment?J And then, also they had in conjunction with their music, a department of Dramatic Art. Immediately I said, I bet I know who is going to teach this? It is Ida Kingmaf' That's just who it is going to be. Isn't it coincident that we are all going to be on the same floor? Mr. Smitter suggested that we branch out. You know he always comes to see the old graduates and continues throwing some advice here and there to help them along. I asked what had become of the other classmates, and mentioned some of their names. She re- marked that the others were not working in the loop. Cornelia Bulthuis had a position as a stenographer but her employer said that she was better fitted for household and domestic science and now she has possession of her own little domain, but we couldn't get to see her as they were out on a little pleasure trip enjoying their vacation. Hilda Sterenberg had taken a secretarial position in Milwaukee. It so happened that Cornelia and her husband went for a drive one Saturday taking her brother-in-law with them for company. This young man was a prosperous insurance broker, a man of very fine habits, and must have had a striking personality, for Hilda is going to leave her position next month and follow in Cornelia's steps. Have you ever heard of Rears-Soebuck 8: Company? They are one of the biggest mail-order houses in the country. No less than three hundred stenographers are employed to carry on the immense volume of business. The very systematic and methodical methods are all definitely planned and scrutenized bly ourhexacting, prompt, and ever efficient classmate, Christine Dryfhout. She can certainly make t ings um. I had an invitation to spend the night with Gertrude and while we were waiting for a car on the corner of 63rd and Halsted, we were looking at a window where some smart and latest fashioned hats were displayed. I needed a new hat so I suggested that we step inside and look at a few. There we were greeted by Anna Muller. This was, indeed, a surprise. So I had the surprise of my life in seeing all my old classmates in the short period of one day.- The remaining days of my vacation were spent at the homes of these classmates, my time being equally divided. Hilda and Cora, being the only ones who were masters of their own time, drove me over to the old school building and we saw that it had been sold and the old school rooms fitted up as ofiices for Doctors and Dentists, and that our new building had been just recently completed and the new stu- dents enjoyed all the pleasures of a new school and new equipment. Still, we students who stood all the hardships of the old building, enjoyed the old school days and we'll never forget them. CHRISTINA KRAMER. 34 -0- 'O' fe VE .3 '.

First of all we would inform you that though next year you will really be the superiors you now presume to be, you' will not feel so highly elated as We seem to be. You will feel the same catchy feeling when you think of graduation and leaving school, instead of filling your heads with gay times and basketball games. Next year when We have gone, you will have to fill our exalted and indispensable position. Of course, we do not expect you to succeed as well as we have, but nevertheless, We hope that you may profit by our experiences. Our parting '4shot is a challenge to your class to publish as good an Annual as this one. s THE SEN1oRs. To THE SENIORS: We, in our humble position as Juniors, wish to thank you for your kind advice, which we feel sure we do not need. We have a perfect right to presume to be superiors as we will profit by this practice next year. Although you talk of experiencing a catchy', feeling, you seem to be enjoying yourselves quite well with basketball games and parties. Of course, we realize that We are not capable of filling your exalted position, but We will do our best to remember your experiences-and you. And by the way, if our Annual does not prove to be better .than yours, we will know that our efforts to publish one have been in vain. We remain your humble servants, THE JUNIORS.

We hope that by then some of your wisdom will be supplanted by common sense. When you have finished blaming the teachers for all your low marks, don't forget to compliment yourself on the one Ai or B you received. Always remember that all marks below B are due to the teachers and that all marks above B are what you deserve. Remember that it is your special duty to cherish and keep alive the school spirit, and enjoy the rest of your school life as much as we have. THE SENIORS. To THE SEN1oRs: Naturally we will accept your advice, as We realize as ever before what sages you are-or pretend to be. It is our misfortune that the Freshies are becoming quite fresh and won't stand being teased. Although we are considered as subordinate creatures, we are sure our good judgment and cheer would be sadly missed if the C. C. H. S. had to do without us. Are you sure that all our low marks are due to ourselves? It is not our fault if We are not as brilliant as you seem to be-when We have become Juniors or Seniors, we will learn how to do some tall bluffing, As you suggest, we will take proper care of the school spirit and will try not to be bored before we pass into the glorious position of Juniors. We remain your friends, THE SOPHOMORES. 41 Q f+ 1 4? I s T' I3 ,, - 1 V, u ff A C H 4 S, I 3 4 l M i 1 a N -1 kv A , , l,, 4 'ul v v 1 N 1 ! i I 1 E V ? I 'I U E 'Q Ll P3 s i 5, me :Y mal ! X!

Nevertheless, we have one word of advice. It is this: Whenever you are discouraged with school and feel like dropping it all, think of us and be inspired by our success. If we could acquire a diploma, you certainly should be able to. Next year when you are Sophs yours will be the privilege of teasing those who will then occupy your present position. We hope that your oppression of them will be lightened by the vivid remembrance of your own experiences. You will find, as we have found, that although some of the teachers look sheep- ish and easy to fool, they will not stand being tampered with. We warn you to play your pranks on us instead of on the members of the faculty, as we are exper- ienced, and, as we have once been Freshies, we can stand a joke. We are fully aware that you are very much in awe of us, but we are really not so awfejful as we seem. THE SENIORS. To THE SENIORS: We appreciate your valuable advice and comforting remarks, and will not forget them when we are disgusted with our work at school. Our diploma is already our goal, but if we do not merit it more than you do it will not mean much to us. - You think you are quite somebody, it seems, but we think you are the only ones who have that impression. Yes, we have been sadly maltreated, but we will soon become Sophs and our victims will be other poor Freshies . Revenge is sweet . We have discovered that the teachers are nicest when you treat them as they should be treated, so we made up our minds to make them our friends. You will please excuse us for borrowing some of these words from your ex- panded vocabularies. THE Fruzsnuzs. 'I 45 I' La :A J R .f.

SMITTEPUS ??th BIRTHDAY That it takes a jolly bunch of young folks to put something over Mr. Smitter was again proven when the Commercial graduating class, consisting of the unlucky thirteen, pleasantly surprised him at his home on Tuesday evening of May 13th. Mr. Smitter had set aside the planting of educational bookkeeping, shorthand, and typewriting seeds and was busily engaged tilling the soil of his zoxgo foot farmg in the meantime enjoying the Buckingham vapors of his pipe. The class had made all preliminary arrangements and were calmly occupying the parlor of the home before even Mrs. Smitter was aware of their presence. Suddenly, however, an emergency CPD telephone call brought Mr. Smitter within the four walls and O! the message when these thirteen set their vocal chords to vibrating, was indeed enough to lift Mr. Smitter off the Hoof. Was he surprised? Guess! The program of the evening had many variations. First, Mr. Smitter hardly felt himself a proper host in his farmer suit in the presence of so learned a group. Hence he donned himself to meet his youthful years. All being interested in the results of the magnificent Radio were then enter- tained by the Debate, To Bob or not to Bob, that is the question. Since both types were present, each grasped what information of defense was given to strengthen individual opinion. We have not noticed more Bobbies since, however. Several interesting games followed. The prizes distributed were carried off by: Gertrude Jousma Clstj, Christine Kramer CBoobyQ in finding the proper location of the Donkey's tail, and, by Ida Kingma CISIJ, Richard De Vries CBoobyj for arranging the letters of the names of some impossible UD flowers. But the social hour was the crowning of the evening. Leave it to commercials to have sufficient eats. ' This gathering had in mind a two-fold purpose. It was Mr. Smitteris birthday. What is more, it was a farewell party, for Mr. Smitter is to leave our school. We regret that he is obliged to leave us, for he sure has won a place in the heart of every student and it is this type of tie that is 'grappled to the soul with hooks of steel'-difficult to be broken. To show their appreciation of his guiding friendship, the class presented Mr. Smitter with a beautiful gold signet ring bear- ing the inscription of the class. It was too much for Mr. Smitter. He could hardly express himself Huently. Beside this gift of memory, he received a box of his favorite pastimes. It was nearing the early hours of morning when the group was conveyed to their respective homes by means of autos. U A. G. H. 47 Q I' , V if X, 5 M V W V H I.

Vice-Secretary Treayurer During the past year, our club has tried, and Pm sure has succeeded, in living up to its aim,-to promote the best interests of our school and the social interests of our girls. As for the good times, these have also characterized this year's activity. YVe began the semester with a Baby Doll Party in honor of the Freshmen and at various meetings played games and served refreshments, making all those girls not yet members eager to join. The girls being willing to make candy, we had two Candy sales, one Within the school at lunch hour, and the other at a public program given in our assembly hall. With its proceeds, hir. Fakkema, our Honorary President, bought lockers for the girls, gymnasium classes. VVe also were successful in getting pins for the members of our Club, and supplying the girls' room with a medicine Chest. Since we have heard that our High School is in urgent need of some money, we carried out the following scheme for raising a little donation for our school: Each member of our club took upoII herself to write to ten friends, requesting them to measure their Waistline and to drop in the pocket of a little doll apron, which We enclosed, as many pennies as their Waistline measures in inches. We are glad to say that the response is very gratifying. JENNIE BALL.

Secretary-Treaxurer The Choral Club met for the first time last October. At that time, about twenty students responded to the request tO organize a Choral Club. These students, with Mr. Fakkema, Mr. Swets and Mr. Sietsema, met one afternoon to Organize. Following a short talk by Mr. Fakkema on the purpose Of forming this club, the election of Officers took place. The purpose is to develop vocal talent among the students, particularly Chorus work. The immediate purpose was to provide some chorus numbers for the public program rendered in various churches by Our students during January, February and March Of 1924. The Club is now waiting for an opportunity to organize more strongly, as it will then be able to turn Out more and better work than heretofore. Directed by Mr. Sietsema and ably assisted by Alice Van Hattem at the piano, our club is doing fine. HENRY HOEKSEMA.

These students who in former years entered daily the halls of the Christain High School are Lucille lyleeter, Elko Van Dyke, Thomas Yff, Jack Zylstra, Joe Zandstra, and John Hamstra, four students of class ,22 and two of class ,23. VVe, as Freshmen in college, especially in the first days of college life had to bear the gibes and taunts hurled at us by the Uppers , but we soon learned that the Calvin student is true blue at heart, under the surface there is not a bit of real contempt or feeling of superiority toward Freshmen. Calvin is re- nowned for its fine spirit of cordiality, helpfulness, and sympathy, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. f Its spirit of fellowship has always been an inspiration to us. At the reception we were welcomed with smiles for the eye, speeches for the ear, handshakes for intimate feeling, and dainties for the palate. Could we expect a better welcome? The club-life is giving us opportunity to come into personal contact with students of our own interests. VVe have our athletic good times, our social hours, and our happy rest-room talks. In short, student life at Calvin is a pleasure. But think not that this is all! Calvin is no playhouse or a house of dreams. Study, work, write, concentrate and think are some of the terms which portray the other side of college life. These are the steps to a higher plane in the realm of education. Do not think, however, that we are overwhelmed, for we have a sympathizing faculty. In truth, a friendly faculty! As you notice we are sold on Calvin College, and we heartily recommend Calvin to all who intend to broaden their education. Calvin's standards of scholarship are very high, and nothing is left undone to uphold these standards. The school building, erected in a most delightful section of the city, is com- paratively new and is complete in every respect. All equipment is modern. The dormitory, now in process of construction on the campus, is rapidly nearing completion, and, consequently, during the next year living expenses will be prac- tically reduced to nil. The dormitory will also roof a spacious, modern gym where students' bodies may be trained, exercised and kept physically fit. Calvin is the ideal College in every respect. Calvin offers as wide a variety of courses as would suffice the purposes of any desiring a comprehensive, inclusive education. These courses are taught by a most capable, and experienced teaching staff whose interests lie principally in the welfare of the school. May the next matriculation period find a large number of additional Chicago Christian High School alumni entering Calvin's halls where we will constantly be ready to serve them. At your service, Chicago Christian High School!! With zeal we sing '4Calvin College, Calvin College, Hail to thee, all hail! And with no less enthusiasm do we resound the echo, 'fLong live the Chicago Christian High Schoolln JOHN HAMSTRA. JOE ZANDSTRA. 59 QI l- o- --Q zz 9-- -+ Q1 E IDEALISM Men find in life many things not perfect, they cannot find on earth conditions that measure up to their estimation of perfection. These men are idealists. Al- though perfection and idealism are not always identical, idealism aims at perfection. In human life, it seems to me, there are three states of idealism: one in youth, one in middle age, and the third in the declining years of life. The mind of a child is very susceptible to impressions and it comes in contact usually with conditions that are more or less free from evils of later life, so that he acquires ideas and ideals in life higher and nobler than reality. They have their thoughts of the world. Although one may say that these impressions are false and that youthful aspirations are mere dreams, yet there are in these dreams the foundation for the ambition of life. The test of youthful ideals comes when the child matures into a man. That is the time when dreams may prove impracticable or when they really can be of some use to the individual in his career. VVith faith in his ideals and faith in him- self, he can prove his visions to see whether they are useful. He either becomes a dreamer or a great man. He must nevertheless expect that the world will not consider his ambitions without opposition because it has not the vision he has. It is this ability to overcome these obstacles that measures his success. There is also an idealism which comes from experience. The aged man after the experiences of a lifetime with the needs and discrepancies of humanity, ac- quires thoughts which he considers beneficial to the world. Some again are idle dreams, but others are the result of years of thoughtful meditations. The aged can no longer impart these to humanity, so he must pass them on to the next generation to be carried out. Amid all practicalities of the commercial life of today, there still remains a place for the inventor and idealist who draw the world to greater efforts and loftier heights. CARL BOVENKERK, '23.

It also furnishes all the equipment forthe gymnasium classes, and for the teams. To further its purpose, our club supports a basketball team, a baseball team, YL and an indoor ball team. The basketball team had a line season this year, playing many hard games, and winning a majority of them. It made a trip to Grand Rapids and llolland, Xlichigang here its line playing brought distinction to the school it represents. The Holland Christian High School team also came to Chicago and played our team. Our organization is a large and flourishing one, having an enrollment of oo members at present. Recently we had two important acquisitions to our roll when two of our instructors. Nlr. Henry Swets and Mr. John De Boer honored us by becoming members of our Association. The Association takes part in various kinds of activity. l,ast year it sent a sum of money to the destitute children of Austria. This year it is considering the purchase of lockers, which would be a line addition to our school. Now, a word about our Faculty Advisor, hlr. Smitter. We feel very thankful for the assistance and advice he has given us at all times, whenever the club was in need of it, but we were sorry to learn that he must leave us, as he has spent a great deal of his time with the boys.

Yea! ell masters: PETER DE Vnuzs, HARRY ELDERSVELD +-- --Q Y 67 E3 +-- --o OUR TRIP TO MICHIGAN Undoubtedly the greatest event in local athletics during this school year, and perhaps for some the greatest event in their whole school career, was the successful trip of our basketball team to hlichigan, where We encountered the Grand Rapids Christian High and the Holland Christian High quintets. In the past two years it has been the aim of the Athletic Associations of these two schools and ours to conclude arrangements for a contest to decide which school had the superior basketball team, and it was with great rejoicing that we finally came to an agreement. Our coaches, Mr. Smitter and lVIr. Swets, had already communicated with these schools early in the season, but it was not until one fine morning in December that we got a definite answer. A notice on the Bul- letin Board calling for a meeting of the basketball team at noon-hour surprised us a bit and aroused our inquisitiveness for it was unusual that we should hold a meeting at that time. Every player was present as soon as classes had been dismissed. The coaches entered and all waited for one to speak. Mr. Smitter began, he dug his hands into his pockets and a faint smile appeared on his count- enance which soon broadened iIIto a big smile. He extracted the following telegram which he read to us: GRAND RAPIIJS WILL PLAY YOUR BASKETBALL TEAM ON THE 27TII. HOLLAND ON FRIDAY, TIIE 28TII. EXPENSES GUARANTEED. ANSWER. You can imagine the joy We experienced. A trip to Michigan, two basket- ball games, Hlld all expenses paid. Oh Baby! Our hilarity found expression in our voices and we made the old building tremble with our yelling. After a few weeks of intensive practice and strict adherence to training rules, the time approached for our departure. During the Christmas holidays it was with difficulty that we abstained from the luxuries offered us, but this unpleasant- ness was forgotten in anticipation of our trip. Thursday morning, Dec. 27, 1923, we were all eager and ready to go. Cy- clone johnnien was the first man at the station, an hour and a half before the train was scheduled to leave. The others appeared soon after and to our sur- prise Mr. K. Hoekserna and two girls of our school were there to travel along and witness the games. We had a pleasant train ride fsome thanks due to hfr. Hoeksema, the girls, and Rev. and lN'lrs. Pousma whom we met on tlIe trainj. The train arrived at Grand Rapids a little late but we were all in fine spirits. A reception committee of the students from Gfalld Rapids Christian High gave us a cordial welcome. After a light luIIch the boys drove us per automobile to Franklin Park Com- munity House, where we were to play that evening. A short practice here to limber us up, and from there we went to Mr. Swets, home, where we rested a bit and ate a light supper. We found the house divided at Mr. Swets' home. A great deal of arguing was carried oII by the fair Swets sisters as to who was going to win. One of the young ladies must have been struck by our good looks or urged on by Miss Jonker to cheer for us,-at least the house was divided and we were assured of at least some support in the line of cheering. The game started about 8 o'clock and was witnessed by a large crowd of people. A write-up of the game itself will be given by Mr. Swets and I will spend no time on writing about it here. The next day the Grand Rapids boys showed us thru CalviII College and brought us to the depot in order to get a train for Holland, Michigan. Here we played the Holland Christian High before another large crowd. After the game some of us went back to Chicago, while the rest stayed with friends. We all had a fine time and we wish to thank tlIe boys in Grand Rapids and Holland for the fine spirit in which they showed us around. BERNARD HAMSTRA, Capt. ss I IB E o-- --Q zz +--- . --Q 9 i I? C. C. H. S.-G. R. C. H. S.'GAME Bernard gave his natural marcel one more loving pat and then dashed on the floor, followed by his gallant team-mates and goaded on by the tumultuous cheer- ing of our five and one-half rOOtCrS. In a brief practice the boys encircled around and took shots at a basket attached to a swinging board, now and then the ball fell through but it came to be generally agreed upon that the outside of the bas- ket was greater in extent than the inside. Meanwhile the onlookers gazed upon our men and wondered whether there were any more like them in Chicago. But soon the game began and our team went in to win. Weidenaar again managed to outjump the opposing center and delivered the ball to one of his team-mates. Very early in the game, after some good passwork, Bernard got a basket for us and we were in the lead,-not to lose it all evening. At the end of the first quarter we were on the long end of a 7-3 score, the half found us leading II-33 in the third quarter our defense weakened tempor- arily so that when the whistle blew Grand Rapids had garnered four points, while we had to be satisfied with a gain of one point, the last quarter was a free-for-all, in which both teams showed very good form. But when the game was finally called after an intense struggle, the records showed that Chicago was still in the lead by a I9 to I5 score. A splendid game it was. It was not so much individual starring as team-Work that won for us. The splendid guarding and passing of Ben and Jack in no small measure led to our victory. The floor Work of Henry was a pleasure to behold for often he dribbled and dodged through what seemingly was an impregnable defense. After he had gotten through it needed but a swift pass to Bernard and we would have two more points to our credit, for our little forward's shooting was positively uncanny that night. And then, too, Bob played an important part as center in both the offensive and defensive play. Added to this, he made a shot from half-way the floor that took the breath out of usg even he was sur- prised at his success and has not quit wondering yet how it all came to pass. Is it too much to say that it was a splendid game? H. A. SWETS J FF Q' .69 I' Y X 71 ,E dE-- --42 zz +--- 2 --as , GAMES PLAYED lg Dec. Bethany Ref. Church . . . . . IS C C. H. S. .... . . . 36 Dec.

It was a dark day and the sky had all the appearances of a threaten- ing thunder-storm. The man was one who is generally known as a sheik . He wore patent leather Oxfords, bell-bottomed trousers, and all the other adornments of a regular he-flapper . If you stretched your imagination to the breaking point, you would see a mustache where most people only see a little fuzz which had little resemblance to what itireally represented. Suddenly the man stopped and looked at the sky. At the same time, rain began to fall in large drops and a gust of wind lifted his hat from his head and dropped it on the other side of the street. i A playful puppy decided to eat it, but not liking the first bite, picked up the hat and ran away, with the Sheik in hot pursuit. The dog dodged under through a Chinaman's legs, dumping clothes all over the sidewalk and knocking the China- man down to a sitting posture. The Sheik was so intent on capturing his hat, which the dog had now dropped, that he ran right into the Chinaman just as this gentleman was trying to get up, and knocked him over again. It was evident that the Chinaman was saying something, but the sheik didn't know what it was for two very good reasons. The first was that he was already a block away chasing his hat, which the wind had blown into a mud puddle, and the second was that the Chinaman was talking in his mother tongue, a language in which the Sheik was not used to conversing. The man had almost picked up his hat when an auto suddenly honked its horn behind him, scaring him so much that he fell over on top of his hat. The auto passed through a puddle close by, liberally spattering dirty water over him and incidentally dirtying his mustache. This massage seemed to cool the young Sheik for he got up quite delibera- tely, picked up his hat, looked around for his cane, deciding he could do Without it for a few minutes, he made a bee-line for the nearest tailor, hoping that he would not meet any of his young lady acquaintances before he was cleaned up.

IE THE FOUR STRIKERS The strike on the Denver 8: Salt Lake City Railroad had been in progress for about a week. But a strike or no strike, nothing could stop Tom Greene from running his engine. Every day since the beginning of the strike he had made his daily run from Denver to Wilmot, a distance of about Ioo miles. Although most of the men who had gone out on strikef' were sober-minded and law-abiding citizens, still there were among them several desperate characters. Some of these men had threatened to give Greene a good thrashing if he did not immediately quit working, and one night as he was on his way home, he was attacked by two men who both wore masks. They struck him on the head with something which looked very much like a piece of gas pipe. The blow stunned him, and he immediately fell to the ground in a heap. He recovered within a few minutes, however, but the masked men were now nowhere to be seen. Greene had, however, recognized them by their voices and had both men arrested the following day. When their comrades heard of their arrest, they swore vengeance upon Greene and were determined to take his life. Two days after the arrest of their comrades they had their plans carefully worked out for the performance of this desperate deed. Four of them were to go to the water tower near the little town of Dunbar, which was about twenty-five miles west of Denver. Greene's train would have to stop at the water tower to take in water. They boarded a local which was bound for Dunbar, and arrived there about a half hour before the arrival of the Wilmot train. From Dunbar they walked to the water tower, where they began to look about for a suitable hiding place. After advancing a few hundred yards, they crouched down in the tall grass and shrubbery that grew along the sides of the road, and awaited the approach of the train. Two were stationed on each side of the tracks, for they intended to kill both Greene and his fireman, so as to cover up their escape. Each of them was armed with a long barreled pistol. It was just 10:30 o'clock that morning as the train stopped at the water tower. When a sufficient amount of water had been taken in, the fireman gave the signal to proceed. He had just filled the boiler with coal and therefore seated himself at the cab window to enjoy the cool morning breeze and to rest for a few minutes from his strenuous labor. Greene was seated at the opposite cab window, smoking his pipe and holding his one hand on the throttle. just as the train had again gotten fairly under way, the pistols of the four strikers were discharged almost simultaneously. The engineer fell from his seat, and as he fell the weight of his body forced the throttle, which he was holding with his left hand, wide open. He made one effort to raise his body in an attempt to shut off the throttle, but sank helplessly, and in a few seconds he had breathed his last. The fireman had not been seriously wounded. A bullet had merely grazed his temple, but the scare had been so great that he had fallen from his seat. In falling, he struck his head against the grate lever, and remained lying on the engine platform in a state of total unconsciousness. Owing to the roar of the engine, the passengers had heard nothing of the shoot- ing, and were therefore ignorant of the danger that they were exposed to. The throttle being wide open, the speed of the train began to increase every minute. The conductor, although somewhat surprised at the unusual speed, did not show any signs of anxiety, for he knew that they were approaching the junction of one of the shortline roads and that it would be necessary to stop there in order to throw open the switch. But when they had approached within about a half mile from the junction without any noticeable decrease in speed, the conductor began to suspect that there was something wrong. He pulled the signal cord several times, 74 but this produced no effect, and the train thundered on over the switch. The great peril of the situation suddenly dawned upon him, for he realized that they were now upon the wrong track and that at any moment they might collide with another tram. But how was he to get to the engine? To climb over the coal tender which was piled high with great lumps of coal meant certain death, for the train was swaying fearfully. The brakemen had also come to the first coach where the conductor was now speaking to some of the passengers, but no one could offer any advice. Sure death was ahead unless they could manage to stop the train in some way or other. They were now only ten miles from the terminal station, and at the rate that they were going they would be there within a few minutes. The situation was extremely desperate, for the engine still seemed to be gaining in speed. Posts, fences, rocks, and trees fiew by in one undistinguished mass. The shrieks of the passengers now rose above the roar of the engine and the crash of the rails. , One of the men suggested uncoupling the engine from the train, but the other men would not hear of this, for although it might have saved them, it meant certain death to others if the engine was allowed to run loose. If I could only climb over that tender, groaned the conductor. At that moment a tall young man with blond hair and handsome features stepped forward from among the passengers and calmly said, I will climb over that tender. The other men tried to dissuade him from taking so great a risk and warned him that it would mean certain death. But he gave no heed to their warnings, and immediately took hold of the railing and began to climb up on the tender. He worked his way over the great lumps of coal carefully but swiftly. The eyes of all the men were riveted on him until he disappeared from their view. They knew not whether he had fallen off or whether he had actually reached the engine. But their fears were soon set at rest, for within a few seconds a sudden blast of steam was seen to issue forth from the engine and the speed began to decrease. In a few minutes more the brakes were applied and the train came to a complete standstill. They found the engineer lying dead upon the platform with a bullet through his heart. The fireman was just beginning to recover. When they had carried him into one of the coaches, he told them what had happened, but of course was unable to say who had committed the hideous crime. - The youth offered to run the train back to the point of junction, so as to put the train out of danger of collision. It would also be possible to procure another engineer at that point. His services were gratefully accepted. When the train was finally switched over on the proper tracks, the conductor stepped forward to thank the young man for his gallant services, but to his great surprise he found that the youth had suddenly disappeared. It was later discovered that this young man was no other but Harold Stoneman, son of Frederick H. Stoneman, owner of the Denver 8: Salt Lake City Railroad. The four strikers were soon found out. Being known as desperate characters and friends of the two men that had been arrested, they were immediately sus- pected. The suspicion was confirmed by the testimony of the station agent at Dunbar, who had seen them alight from the train and walk in the direction of the Water tower on the morning that the shooting had taken place. Upon searching their dwelling the pistols were found, and as they thus found the evidence strongly against them, they were forced to admit their guilt. They were sentenced to prison for life. . GEORGE YFF. T5 L5 Q 'EES THE TREASURE GARDENE Longe, longe ago, in the yeare 1920, on a bryte, sunnye daye in Septembere, a younge maidene entered the gates ofa gardene ofwhiche she had heard muche and longed to enter. The name of the maidene was Studente and .the name of the gardene was Chicago Christian Hye Schoole . The fame of the gardene had spreade far and wide because of the beautiful floweres whichegrew there,and the treasures whiche were hidden deep in the heartes of these beautiful Howeres. Now the younge maidene had heard so manye tales of this gardene that she looked upon it as a Wonderful place, and her face was all alowe with the joye of entering into suche a lovely place. But when she entered into the gardene, some of the eagerness faded from her face, for the gardene was smalle and manye of the floweres seemed verye ugly to her. She looked upon all the inmates of the gardene and learned their names to be Sophomores , Juniors and f'Seniors . She was a Freshie and verye strange and alone she felt as she gazed at all the other Freshies who had come, as she, to finde the treasure. Soone the other inmates of the gardene came to her and spoke cheerye words of welcome, and ever as she looked she seemed to see shadowy spirits Hitting o'er the gardene. These, she was told, were the guardian spirits of the gardene Schoole S irit and Schoole Lo alt e . P After a few weeks thi infhates of the gardene came to be known as Friendesg and she also became acquainted with the gardeners who were to helpe her in her searche. Their names were Teacheres and though they seemed formidable at firste, she soone came to love them and the gardene. She had come to live in the gardene for four years, after whiche she would enter the wide, wide worlde to use her treasure. But that time seemed verye vague and mistyeg and so she studied the floweres verye closely to see if she coulde discover the treasure at once. But, oh, what disappointment awaited her. Some of the fioweres suche as English, Algebra and History were not verye different from the fioweres whiche she alreadye knew. Others, as Latin and Science, she did not like at all. But as she studied them, she grew to love them and longed to studye those in another parte of the gardene which seemed much more lovelye. In her second yeare her name was Sophomore,' and now she had the privilege of welcoming other Freshies as inmates of the gardene and helping them as others had helped her. Alreadye-although she did not knowe it she had come nearer to her treasure, as she began to live the spirit of the gardene Live for others . But oftene she became discouraged, and then the Teacheres who were her friendes encouraged her to go on. ' The next yeare she became a Junior and then there were manye gaye times in store for her and her Classmates. Oftene, also, they talked verye seriously of the Treasure and how they should use it when they left the sheltered gardene for the wide worlde. The Howeres whiche she was studying now were muche larger and more difficult .... . As yet she had not founde her treasure but deep downe in the heartes of the Howeres she could see a fainte glimmering and she studied dili- gentlye and Welle. But when she was a H Senior reallye one of those superiore inmates upon whom she had looked in awe when she entered the gardene she founde that in her heatre of heartes she woulde gladlye have changed places with one of the Freshies who looked upon her as she had looked longe, longe ago. And ever as she neared the time when she muste leave the gardene and its loved inmates-and the time sped more quicklye than ever before-she felt a tug at her hearte and a stronge desire to remain in the gardene. But she knew now that the she muste leave the gardene, for she had founde her treasure. 76 And she knew now that the onlye waye to keep her treasure bryte and shining, was to tell others of the beautiful thinges she had founde in the heartes of the Howeres. She knew, now, that she muste alwayes use her Education in the service of others. Then it would become more and more beautiful as time wente on. So the time came when she muste leave the gardene forever, but even as she went, after one backward glance, she grasped her Diploma,' in her hande and wente eagerlye into the worlde. GERALDINE DEKKER. THE SHEIKS AND SHEBAS OF GUR C. C. H. S. Hear yel Hear ye! We, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby propose Cno, no, girls, this is leap yearj to discant, expound and make harangue upon certain individuals who have made themselves worthy of brief attention. When we behold the sheik of sheiks, Mr. Fakkema, we invariably cry out, Oh, inspiration, where are You?,', for. here certainly is a sheik the mere sight of which is enough to make the spectator open his mouth wide in awe and admira- tion. Those Harold Lloyd binoculars are at this very moment the latest and most artistic development in style at Maxwell St. The collar betrays an absolutely individualistic taste. It is different in this respectg namely, that it serves a util- itarian purpose besides being an article of ornamentation. Its extreme height enables the wearer to keep his head erect at all times and under all circumstances. The third article of dress that has gained for Mr. Fakkema the title of Sheik of Sheiks is his neckwear. Although he has outgrown the King Tuts and Slim Jimsn a close observer will find that our sheik makes use of almost every other style and variety. VVe can assure you that our cheif is a perfect model. But of what? What shall we say? Say it with flowers says the florist. But Mr. Fakkema is not the only member of our faculty who has deserved the title of Sheik . We are thinking particularly of Messrs. De Boer and Holke- boer. These two gentlemen conspired together to take the school by storm, both of them appeared one fair morning with wing collars about their cranial swivel. The class stood aghast at the action of Mr. Holkeboer's adam apple, which was made unusually conspicuous by this latest innovation. They were filled with apprehension lest this rapid action should set free the cider. But when nothing of the kind took place, they became more bold and the following afternoon several of them appeared with collars of the wing variety. But wait, gentle reader, we pray thee tarry but a moment longer while we expound unto you the glory of yet another of our sheiks who very well deserves this name. We speak of none other than the most illustrious Mr. John Teune. His shirt doth proclaim him to have had some intimate connection with the be- loved boys of Uncle Sam, whether that has been in the regiments or the more fleeting connection in the Army Goods store we do not care to say. But this we do say: that it gives him a noble appearance which we verily believe is in strict accordance with his character. His tie, we must admit, has always been of the modest sort, so we'll make little mention of it, but he combs his hair the good old dutch way. Before we close our dissertation on the sheiks, we must beg you to bear with us for a few moments longer while we expound to you the unquestionable merits of Mr. Edwin Van Til's apparel. Not wishing to tax your patience to the break- ing point, we will merely stop to describe the most outstanding features of this worthy gentleman's trappings, namely, his head gear. His pate covering which has here-to-fore been of the humble cake-eater variety has now been abandoned for one of a louder sort. He now appears unto us as a living advertisement for the Checker Cab Co. 77 +-- --Q J-3. 4--- --4: Qi i L? Among our shebas, Sarah Kickert reigns supreme. She has no more aspira- tions for fur coats, spring coats, new bonnets, necklaces, red lips, rosy cheeks and whatever else a 20th century belle may covet, for she has a complete stock of all these articles of feminine ornamentationgbut we were to forget the crowning feature of all her dress and ornamentation if we should neglect to mention her hair which is put up according to the manner and custom of the belles of South Holland. Truly, we must say that the Queen of Sheba in all her glory is in no way comparable to the queen of our C. C. H. S. Time and space does not permit us to exhaust completely the voluminous list of shebas, but among this category there is one who We must not fail to mention, namely, Ida Kingma. With the crest of a marcel waveg a multiplicity of frocks, as multitudinous as the sands of the sea as to their number, and outnumbering the hues of the rainbow as to their color, a pair of ear pendants, said pendants dangling from her artfully concealed auditory appendages, and a variety of other accountrements for the carrying on of the feminine art, which only their fertile imaginations are in any way capable of conjuring up, supplemented by a Winsome smile that verily approaches nigh unto a grin, equipped with these, we say that this heroic damsel has set forth to conquer the world. Verily she doth cry out loud in defiance of any one who is smaller than herself. In these trappings she for- sooth vies with the latest styles set forth in the fashion page of Onze Toekomst .
